From the company who never met a game they couldn't postpone, comes a more effective form of teenage abstinence than acne, sex ed, and the Catholic church combined, World of Warcraft.

Best there is at the moment, which unfortunately isn't much.

The game follows on from the Massively popular Warcraft RTS series.

It follows the same story and you may well recognise units from the other games.

Graphically it is beautiful, and sound is excellent too, I can't complain. Unfortunately, this means many computers will struggle in highly populated areas, which can spoil the whole experience a bit.

Something that really disappointed me about this game were the customisation options, which are, to say the least, few. There are only about 8 different styles for your character, and depending on your class, your costume will be chosen for you. In addition there arn't schools of spells to pick from, but instead certain classes have certain school, from which practically all spells are learnt. You end up feeling very un-unique.

The game has a good system for instances, unique dungeons for a party, however its quests come in 3 different types, and all of which are basically a grind.

When you get down to it this is a grind game, and will lose its appeal to many people after the first 20-30 levels.

I give it 7 stars.
