What our customer's say!

"Love this Game WOW", This is a very awesome game. You do, need to be carefully, of too much play. It is a virtual reality game with, it seems, never ending realms. You can chat and also play the game which is not too bad. I am 45 and female and it takes a little time to learn but wow lol WOW it is a WOW game lol for a chat / combat game. You need to try it before you knock it......

"All that AND a tiny pet", I got this copy to get the free non-combat companion pet, the netherwhelp hatchling. He is SO adorable... and every single character you create or transfer to this account will get one. You can also transfer characters off that account and they will keep the pet (warning, transfer is $25 each and can not be transfered again for 30 days). To transfer a character from one account to another the name on both accounts must be the same, so don't think you can sell characters with this pet attached to anyone willing to pay.

What I didn't expect (because I didn't read the product description) was the book of artwork... it's gorgeous! It also comes with a soundrack (music you hear in the background) but if you are level 40 and lower, most of the music will be unfamiliar... perhaps I'll hear more of it when I get to higher levels. There are also cards from the card version of the game... and quite a few, at that... a mousepad with a map of outlands on it and a DVD of how the scenery and characters were "created"... all in all, this is a pretty cool set.

"He Sparkles!", In this collector's edition you get a cute little netherwhelp 'vanity pet' for all your characters ... when I first got mine EVERYONE asked where I got it, since then, non-sparkly netherwhelps have become available, OH WOE. Of course, they are bound to each character, but you always get one ... and if you're a vanity pet addict like I am, this is a special addition to your collection. The guides that come along in addition to the game, the book and the mouse pad are very nice - albeit, I am often concerned because the books are printed on very delicate paper ... ah well. Now to find GOOD maps of instances ...

Oh, and if you already have the game and buy this Collector's Edition, call Blizz, they will upgrade your account AND you can give your previous keys to someone else ... OR sell them, sorta nice.

This game should have a warning label "ADDICTIVE - NO 12 STEP PROGRAM AVAILABLE'.

"World of Warcraft, Burning Crusade CE", This is a very good starter game for people who have never tried online gaming before. It will give lots of hours full of fun. Might feel like less of a challenge for people who have played online games for years, but it still provide fun for all ages.

"Lots of fun, despite the weak raid game", "World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade" is a great expansion pack. The world of Outland is big and beautiful, with plenty of variety and lots to see and do. In contrast to other MMO's, it feels a lot more like a standalone game than an expansion pack; there are hundreds of new quests and items, factions, the Arena PvP system, the list goes on. And while the level cap has only extended from 60 to 70, those 10 levels are a very satisfying journey, as there are plenty of quests to keep you out of the grind.

Blizzard has clearly focused on a "back to basics" strategy with instances, too. 5-man instances abound, and they're all excellent. The intent is to spotlight hybrid classes and small-group tactics, which is a welcome change. All of the 5-man content can be relived later in "Heroic Mode", which raises the difficulty to an acceptably fun level, and provides a good challenge for experienced players to work on.

The only major failure here is the raid game. It's hard to criticize Blizzard for making the decision to spotlight the 5-man game (players were howling for it), but it came as a shock to experienced raiders that they'd have nothing to do on their scheduled raid days. The first raid you encounter, Karazhan, comes with an attunement, requires a cookie-cutter 10-man lineup, and has a serious gear check halfway through. That's no fun. Kara alone has smashed many raid groups accustomed to the more forgiving 40-man game, to say nothing of the road to Serpentshrine Cavern and The Black Temple.

The Collector's Edition is worth having, particularly if you're a fan. There's an excellent coffee table book that shows the evolution of the art & design of The Burning Crusade. I thought the DVD was a little short on content, but well-produced. It highlights many aspects of game design that players tend to overlook. The packaging is great and hey, you get a Nether Drake!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Burning Crusade", I was pleasantly surprised to find that there has not been too many issues playing the game with this expansion.

I enjoy the new content, yet find it strange to run around with the opposite faction next to you, and no one usually attacks each other.

As for the Collector's extras, the art book is an excellent piece to have, I also enjoyed being able to install via DVD.

I DID feel that the ingame pet was not enough to warrant the price, though I knew what I was getting into. I am into having "extras" but for the most part can easily live with the regular version of the game.

"Review on Collector's Edition", When I buy a certian edition of software or DVD or whatever on Amazon, I often see people reviewing the actual software or movie and never the EDITION they purchased. This review is more for the Collector's edition, although the game itself is five stars, no doubt.

As far as Collector's Editions go, Blizzard has always done very well, and this is pretty much no exception. Packaged exactly like the WoW CE, this one fits nicely on the shelf next to it, and has the same (cheap but cool) felt on the inside holding everything in place. The extras in this edition are pretty standard for Blizzard.

*Soundtrack CD
*DVD - The DVD's are getting pretty lame. The more they release for each of their three universes, the less you have to put on each one. This one doesn't have very many features on it, but it is good, nonetheless.
*Game on DVD and 4 CD's plus a couple of codes for 30-day trials to give to friends. (My advice: Wait until they do another offer for a free month of game play when you get someone else signed up).
*Mousepad map - Definately more useful than some fabric map print that will never be used.
*In game pet - Netherwhelp hatchling - Too cute, not cool enough. I like the original CE where we got to choose form three pets, give us back some options.
*Trading Card game - Two starter sets, and a couple of extra hero cards - I don't know anything about the TCG, haven't played this one before, but it's nice to get the cards because God knows the last thing I need is one more hobby to collect, and when they do things like give me these cards for free, I am no doubt going to fork over some money to buy more.
*Book: Art of BC - Nice, but only half the book has new stuff, the other half is stuff on all the old additions to WoW and is freely available on any fan website. Still anice coffee table book though for fans of the game.

To the reviewer below who hasn't gotten their copy yet, I am sorry, but Amazon does get a lot of pre-orders for this, and they have no idea how many copies they will actually get to send out, which is why they cut off pre-orders early, but I hope you get your copy soon. The launch has been smoother than I ever thought possible, so getting on and playing is pretty quick once you get it installed.

"A great game", Well i purchased this game months in advance(AKA preorder)...And it arrived on the release day.I installed it in about 30 minutes or so.After that i opened it (wow new background on startup)...and i logg in it prompts me for a update....i do that update in about 5-10 minutes.log in agian another update....this one took around 3 minutes and then I ACCTUALLY GET TO THE SERVERS!i also would like to mention that i just playyed the day before release so don't say i havn't logged in for a awhile...I go to my normal server which is a high server which means overload it takes around 2 minutes to logg in before i get to where my chacters are then i start a new chacter a dranie or what ever you kall them i was impressed by the style...So i logg in as the chacter and it was packed with shamens and i try to complete quest but it was so hard to with all the new people so i go back to the chacter selection and i start a blood elf i go to it's start up place MAJORLY OVERLOAD! and i logg out and i logg in as my high leveled person and i try to get to the dark portal.....That is my story but over all this expansion is pretty kool....

"Review of Amazon... *", Heh - how can I review the game. Pre-ordered back in October and as of the evening of the 18th my order still states it is in the process of shipping *soon*. I suppose *soon* plus some more mysterious time of *soon* once it ships I can give a more accurate review. I can understand slow shipping but slowness of putting a box in another box? Yup that should take three days plus.

"Collector's Edition Specifics", People who want to know about the expansion in general should also look at the standard Burning Crusade edition. I'm just going to add some information here about what's different with the Collector's Edition.

The most important thing to know is that each copy of the expansion, for either version, comes with a key code that you have to put in to upgrade your account. Without the code, you won't be able to access the new content even if you have the software installed. [Edit: As of January 22, 2007 Blizzard has announced on their forums that they're working on allowing players who already upgraded using the basic expansion to then also upgrade using the collector's edition in order to get the limited edition pet. You'll have to call Blizzard's billing service line with the unused collector's edition expansion key, so it's slightly more work than upgrading directly with the CE, but it can now be done.]

The only real difference between the versions so far as playing the actual game goes, is that those who buy the CE will receive a special pet called a netherwhelp on all of their characters. It's basically a baby version of the flying mounts available in Outland.

Most of the benefit of this version is outside of the game. You get a nicer box with it, of course. Inside that box you'll find that you get the game in both CD (4 of them) form, and DVD form (just 1, so you don't have to mess around with changing the one in the drive).

In addition to the game itself, you get a number of other items. There's a very nice mousepad with a map of Outland on it (though I've heard that the glossy surface works poorly with laser mice). There's a hardcover book of art from World of Warcraft. They include some cards from the WoW collectible card game, along with directions for those who want to play. If you love the music you find in Burning Crusade, you'll also be happy to see that there's a soundtrack included in the box. Finally, there's an additional DVD that contains two hours of behind the scenes material, including things like interviews.

Keep in mind, however, that the only in game benefit is the pet. If you don't want the pet but want everything else, you'll probably be able to get the other items cheaply from someone who wanted the pet and not the rest. Or, you could buy the set and then sell the activation code to someone who wants the pet, while you keep the extra items for yourself.

Due to the need for an activation code, though, be careful about buying this item used. Make sure that you confirm with the seller that the activation code in their set has NOT been used, because it can only be used to upgrade a single account. After that, even if you use the software in the box to upgrade the version on your computer, you WILL NOT have access to the new content. An expansion upgrade code is REQUIRED and it must be one that has never been used.
