Upcoming ‘Warcraft’ to be another addicting adventure

In keeping with the tradition of all their games, Blizzard Entertainment has come through for its fans again with their new Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, "World of Warcraft."

The game is excessively fun. It’s amazing how enjoyable it is in the game to roam this limitless universe, filled with fantastic creatures, with your custom-created character while battling a myriad of foes and increasing your fantasy character’s powers and abilities. The game becomes an addiction.

"You glance at [the game] for about five minutes, then, suddenly, five hours have elapsed and you’ve done none of your homework," junior Joey Blankenburg said.

An MMORPG allows thousands of players to exist in the same game world at the exact same time. The company recently has released to the public a beta version of this highly anticipated online computer game to test the game’s online stability.

"Blizzard hasn’t gone wrong before, and if the beta is any inclination [of the future], the game is going to be awesome," junior Justin Jones said.

For those few and proud who recently have been privileged to take part in this beta test, the fruits of Blizzard’s hard labor have gamers’ jaws dropping worldwide.

The game’s graphics are some of the best on the market for a MMORPG — they use more colors and more detail than most. The fully 3-D world is scenic and awe inspiring — not to mention incredibly huge.

Indeed, a player could wander around this world for hours and still only explore a small portion of Blizzard’s vast fantasy universe.

And with Blizzard’s promise of "hundreds of hours of game play with new quests, items and adventures every month," gamers should be pleased, despite the monthly fee charged of players, which is yet to be determined.

The nine different classes available for custom-character creation are unique and appeal to all tastes, each with their own impressive array of spells and abilities.

The game also features an astounding soundtrack that immerses the player into this gargantuan fantasy world.

Though the game has not yet been released, it already has the makings of another classic best-selling Blizzard computer game.
