 The wait is over as the Lich King awakes December 2, 2008

"Zranta stepped forward, her feet making a satisfying crunching on the sparkling snow covered land. It was a rare occasion to see one of the Forsaken smile, well with Zranta her smile was more of a smirking and wicked grin. One which exposed her rotten teeth and flesh, to some not a pretty sight. The grin not just from the sound and the chilling feeling of the snow beneath her, her grin was more for the things to come. The Lich King, Arthus, to whom Zranta would thank but then bring to his knees in the name of Lady Sylvanas, it was the time for redemption." Epilogue from Corrupted Shadows(Jase Howse 2008), it mirrors the smile i had when i hit the Play button knowing that at last i could move beyond level 70.
The lich king is back, awake from his slumber to finish what he began but this time there are new heroes to join the fight. Another review, the writer said that you really do feel as if your actions are going to make a difference, this is a statement i have to truely agree with especially when you reach the Waithgate cutscene and the following few quests (i'd love to say more about it but i'm not wanting to spoil the revelation of it to people).
This really is the best thing to happen to WoW, unlike Dark Portal you have a choice of 2 start areas which are more relaxed and easier to play in than what the single starting zone of Dark Portal was. The quests are varried and fun with nice rewards. There are some nice additions of characters from Warcraft lore namely Krasus and the dragonflights. Due to currently reading the War of the Ancients Achieve it was nice to interact with those i have been reading about.
The look of the new areas are great and with some fantastic design elements. One of the best elememts is the vehicles, some quests involve using vehicles or mounts like Dragons and Mammoths to attack tougher foes or multiple units. For me it was most satisfying to see my character on a Red Dragon and using it to bath my targets with its flaming breath.
If you are looking to buy World of Warcraft to find out what its all about, now is the time as it has become so much bigger, better and most of all, fun. Not that it wasn't fun before, far from it - a few million others would agree there :D
WOTLK review November 27, 2008

ok, most the comments are about how bad Amazons delivery service is, so im going to make it about the GAME.
but first, yes idigo starfish is a jersey company, and games I could imagine would arrive late as they get shipped from jersey, but don't be annoyed at amazon.
I actually live in jersey so I get stuff early, not meaning to brag, but jersey is VAT free so its much cheaper for them to send popular individual orders (like personal orders of games/dvds), its jsut business sense, no matter how much you will complain that's how there business operates.
Ok, the game is fantastic, quests are layed out nicely to be one continuous flow of play, and the have included random FMV in the game, so 10/10 for storey and imagination. and the death knights quests are fantastic, but get a lvl 80 char first as when I started HFP on my DK most of outland is flooded with DK's so its awkwerd for groups.
and ofc its warcraft, we would not even purchase / think about purchasing WOTLK if we did not have a 70 char and love the game already.
So if you love wow, you'll love this.... FACT.

I have to agree with most reviewers of this expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King returns blizzard to its top form, well designed quest-chains, beautiful scenery and wonderful, haunting music (though I couldn't help feeling the celtic/hebredean folk didn't sit that well with the fact that I was hacking enemies to bits).
The new death-knight class is well designed... I was worried that blizzard would be creating an uber-class who could wipe out any other class, but they've been sensible and designed a class who can "play well with others". Also, blizzard have noticed that a lot of people didn't really understand the plot of the last expansion, Burning Crusade, so the induction quest-chain for the death-knight it beautifully crafted, immersing the player in the history of the class and providing some very funny, and some very touching, moments as the chain progresses.
However.
If you're a seasoned gamer (and if you have a death-knight, you must already have a level 55 character on the server, so yes, you ARE a seasoned gamer), the death-knight induction quest chain is over in two or three hours. After that (and please correct me here if I'm wrong), there's not much to do except hop over to Outland and repeat the quests you've already done in the Burning Crusade until you're high enough for Northrend, the new continent introduced with this latest expansion. This is effectively level 70, unless you have a good gang of co-adventurers alongside you. My level 70 warlock, and my partner's level 70 Paladin, found the starting areas of Northrend to be "comfortably challenging" as we adventured together - anything lower, and you're in for a very hard time, I think.
So though it's a great package, and though technically it has something for anyone over level 55, unless you desperately want to have a death-knight on your account, I'd leave buying Lich King until you have a level 70 character who can enjoy what Northrend has to offer.
Great game November 24, 2008

The game is brilliant. The deathknight is a brilliant character and fits in well. Northrend is a great edition to the game and is just what the game needed. It offers many many hours of fun and exicting gameplay.
Ignore all the oter reviews on how the delivery wasnt very good, and to all that had written them against indigostarfish i ordered mine middle of October got mine on the 13th of Nov. I guess thats luck of the draw but dont complain about getting it two days late, if you wanted it that badly you should have gone to a store or preordered it earlier and got it with amazon.
Hopefully amazon will look at these reviews and delete them as this game is clearly 5 stars and not 3 stars becuase of delivery
