Product Description
With the opening of the Dark Portal, and the renewed war to stop the Burning Crusades destruction of worlds, the heroes of Azeroth have given little thought to the frozen wastes of Northrend, and the terrible, ancient powers that wait there. Yet the brooding evils of the fallen Nerubian empire and their malevolent sovereign have not forgotten Azeroth?
The former death knight and now Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life in Azeroth, as his undead armies and the necromantic power of the plague threaten to sweep across the land. Only the mightiest heroes can survive the frozen northlands with any hope of disrupting the plans of Arthas -- and perhaps even challenge the Lich King himself and end his reign of terror for all time. - New character class: the necromantic Death Knight
- New continent: Northrend, the icy domain of the Lich Kin
- New level cap of 80, including mighty new powers and talents
- Epic siege warfare and destructible buildings
- New profession: Inscription
- New character-customization options, new dungeons, and much, much more..

the game itself is great, and can't wait for the next expansion, hwever i doubt i'll be buying it from amazon again as my copy of wotlk, although purchased from amazon.co.uk and not a random seller, was not new, the game was still sealed but the key had already been used, so it was actually completely useless to me. got a swift refund though and managed to find this game elsewhere for the same price, with a new key. very glad i did, and am gutted i waited over a yr before buying this, finally i can join everyone else in northrend ready for the next installment.
WOW Wrath of Lich King expansion January 2, 2010

This is the latest expansion to the game which gives you more worlds etc. to explore. WOW is the best game ever. Since I became disabled it really has been a boon, it takes you out of yourself and time just passes by.
I think there is a further new expansion about to be launched too.

As a level 75 at the moment, days into the expansion and months into the game as a heavy burning crusade raider I've got a few issues to vent here, This wont be a full review, rather a few things to inform any possible buyers about I wish I'd known before.
The thing that depresses me at the moment going through this so far is the gear, while this may seem like a small issue coming from an obsessive it really is a shame; There is a minuscule amount of models and they are all really dull and uniform, you feel like a soldier in a game whereabout you should should feel a hero. By the end of the Outlands you are covered in lighting and spikes, glows and crystals. Even in the non-raid gear there are splashes of colours, fun, power and a feeling of uniqueness rather than some gray/brown shelter from the cold... and why exactly does being in a chilly landscape make everything there so powerfull? Its beyond inconsistent when you replace an exquisitely crafted thing with something held together with string like the edge of ruin for a huge damage boost.
Luckily this dull uniformity does not manifest the same way in the quests or the majority of the environments - both of which are fairly wonderful so far, though with a few exceptions, which mostly center around dodgy game mechanics. Combat mounts feel strange and unintuitive and as equally un-visceral as most of the game. The storm giant in particular consistently block your view. Stealthing in the zombie disguise in zul'drak is infuriating and every so often a sudden death, respawn or nasty effect will breach the 4th wall and kick you right out of the experience.
Also the amount of dungeons pre-80 is fairly meager in comparison, especially due to their ease, not much more to say about that.
However on the upside the Death Knight starting zone/questline was damn near perfect so there may well be more like it to come to tip the scales back in Wrath's favour. I may post a full review or edit this when I finally reach the end of this colossal game, until then if you enjoy wow its definitely worth a look, just not set your expectations too high and try to forget TBC.
Great game...Poor service by Amazon November 14, 2008

This is the second expansion in the World of Warcraft and offers many new features and whole new areas to explore. The level cap has also been raised to level 80.
The game itself is great. The service I got from Amazon was very poor. I ordered two copies of this game before the release date, only to find that one copy has turned up without the other. The missing copy still hasn't turned up yet and following a couple of emails to Amazon, it remains the same. I found them unhelpful and doubt I will be doing any more pre orders with them.

From being entered into the public BETA earlier this year I have to say that this expansion is jaw-droppingly stunning.
Firstly I'd like to note that having being entered into the BETA it has given me a chance to look on how Blizzard have updated the build frequently to make and changes or amend any problems. This was done almost perfectly with the final builds of the BETA almost looking as polished as the final copy of the game before it went gold.
The new Death Knight Hero Class is a comlplete new approach to Warcraft, yes the Death Knight is included in the lore of Warcraft so Blizzard have had to find a clever, innovative way to push the class into the expansion, and it happened. The beginning storyline for the Death Knight was extremely immersive and it feels as if you are a part of the game.
With new quests and ways to do them, the game keeps itself completely fresh and I must admit that they are very different than previous quests.
The soundtrack is one of few that actually draws the player into the game, having the new soundtrack in the game will definately draw more players further into Warcraft than ever before.
Well, that's enough from me, you'll have to check it for yourself upon it's release. But I assure you, this is a must buy!
