If you get the retail game, GET THIS TOO!!! Read why... [Posted on 2007-10-03]
I always tell people who are considering purchasing WoW to go ahead and buy the retail version of the game but buy this trial version too! Why? Because the trial version includes the same full game as the retail version, only on a single DVD! You will need the retail version too, for the serial key, but not for installation. I prefer using this trial disk because one DVD is sure a lot faster to install than sitting through 6 CDs on the original retail version. I don't know why they don't re-publish the game on DVD. Oh well... The other bonus is that if you install the trial version first and use its key, then register and put in the retail key on the WoW site, you will have the benefit of 14 extra days of game time (for a total of 44).

WoW is a fun game. I'm not big on RPGs but I really enjoy this one. The game also includes built-in voice chat so you can use your headphones and mic to actually talk to your friends that you're gaming with. Very cool and it works well.

Parents who may be concerned about the subject matter of this game should know that, while there is violence, it is not excessive or grotesque. Though the game also includes some content involving demons, spell-casting, and the like, these are presented as "abilities" that your character earns in order to accomplish more challenging tasks and there is not a pressing focus on "the Occult". In fact, if you like you can be a priest and use your spiritual abilities to combat the foes of darkness. Think Lord of the Rings kind of stuff. I know some parents will not want their kids exposed to this kind of subject material and that is understandable, but I just wanted to offer these comments so you have some idea of the content involving such themes. The game involves a lot of clean fun and I can't help but believe that this game does good for the brain as there is a lot going on to keep track of and I think it must sharpen visual reflexes and mental stamina. It pretty much forces you to learn to multi-task better (something I am terrible at), but you have to improve on these kinds of things in order to level up quickly. The game also emphasizes honorable behavor, justice, efficiency, goal-setting and goal-accomplishing, strategy, creativity, team work, and most everyone seems to help each other out and is mostly courteous.

The game also features a lot of humor and is a light-hearted fun experience. The game also includes filters to cancel out bad language in the chats if you desire although I rarely have found people abusing the system. Most people you chat and quest with in the game are friendly and helpful.

The game is also addictive. ;) Generally I am drawn to games that have cutting edge graphics... This one is a few years old now and nothing special to look at (IMO), but I have to say it is a lot of fun (and this is coming from a guy that prefers FPS games, not MMORPGs). The quests are entertaining as well as challenging and the levels paced for your ability. Trust me, if I can play this, anyone can. If you've ever played Fable, it is similar (graphics wise) though more involved (objective wise); However, it is not as complex as games like Morrowind.

All-in-all, fun game and worth the $1.99 for this trial disk, if nothing more than to make installing the full game easier. It's the exact same game as the retail version. Get both or get two and give one to a friend. Have fun... Oh, by the way, my characters are SgtGodfear (human warrior) and Xdoulos (human priest). Look me up in the Eldre'Thalas realm. Happy gaming! :)
