Hidden away in a secluded sanctuary the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing has waited recovering from the wounds of his last battle against Azeroth and biding his time until he can reforge the world in molten fire.
Soon Deathwing the Destroyer will return to Azeroth and his eruption from Deepholm will sunder the world leaving a festering wound across the continents. As the Horde and Alliance race to the epicenter of the cataclysm the kingdoms of Azeroth will witness seismic shifts in power the kindling of a war of the elements and the emergence of unlikely heroes who will rise up to protect their scarred and broken world from utter devastation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An awesome game, which gives more of the same for old and new players!,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Expansion Pack (PC/Mac DVD) (DVD-ROM)
Its kind of hard to review Cataclysm as a product because the vast majority of it content is actually free in the form of the Shattering patch which everyone got regardless of whether they own just the original game and/or any of the expansions.This free patch changed the majority of Azeroth for the better. Entire zones have been changed in appearance, some zones have been broken up into two, low level questing has been improved from 1-60 and so on! Basically bringing older content into a more modern era. Improvements to guilds and so forth! These are all awesome and amazing changes which make older content great and replayablity far better! The problem arises because this means that by purchasing Cataclysm you are only buying access to the lvl80-85 content (i.e new higher level quests, dungeons, raids, gear and zones), the ability to fly in Azeroth, the new Archeology skill and some re-vamped older dungeons having a new hard setting added. This could be argued as being a small amount of content to actually buy!! So the question is whether or not that paid content is worth it? If you are a long running wow player, who has a lvl80 character or two and you have done everything else, then YES it is. You will no doubt love the new areas, quests, dungeons and raids etc etc. You will love the ability to fly in Azeroth (and it is cool to do it) and perhaps pass some time digging things up in Archeology. There is no denying that the lvl80-85 content is fun to play through and worth doing so. But if you are a long runnin WoW player then you already know this, and you know what to expect as you will have bought BC and LK already! And to those who have said the leveling is too fast in cataclysm from lvl80-85, I would say its fine. If you play casually, maybe an hour a night (while having a healthy social life away from the PC) then you are looking at a good week or two to reach lvl85 and THEN you have tones of other content to do anyway. But you have to realise its ONLY 5 levels! That would never take long regardless of what Blizzard did. Personally, I play casually and after about a week of playing the game, I have gone through two zones now, exploring every inch and doing EVERY quest as I find (for the achievements) I am still on lvl83 and only just entering Uldam. That is about 1-2 hours play a night and maybe 3 times a week. I'm not someone who plays WoW EVERYday for endless hours. I've found the leveling up to be spot on! Back to my other point.... if you are new to WoW then the bottom line is buy the Battlechest with the original game and BC in FIRST! give it a try, see if you like it. If you do, then buy LK and if you like that, then get Cataclysm. A warning to new players though... you are looking at 85 levels now to play through, dozens of dungeons and a lot of raids! Having that much content before you WILL be dawnting and it will feel overwhelming and you may become discouraged. But as most people will say... the best content is at the end of the game! If you stick at it, and eventually play Cataclysm, it will be worth it! If you are new to the game you will find lvl 1-60 a much more fun experienced then even we had when we first startted due to massive improvements. But those aare free anyway. If you are an existing player of WoW you know what to expect, and you no doubt already made the choice to buy it anyway.

Worst expansion, so far.,
By
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Expansion Pack (PC/Mac DVD) (DVD-ROM)
Blizzard never made this a strong expansion like the previous two, questing was made easier, almost idiot proof. Level 80-85 was just torture grinding, playing for that many hours to gain one level. I've played WoW since the Burning Crusade and raiding in this expansion was in my opinion more difficult than the LK, but once again nothing like the BC. It's not the difficulty that makes raiding great, its the type of encounter that makes it great. The storyline was also screwed up so that Blizzard could make money, again it wasn't 80-90 so they could also... make money. Where is the customer service, no one asked for it to be 80-85. Other than this rant the game play of WoW has remained decent, the goblin class for the Horde and the Worgen class for the alliance was a good idea, The questing areas were also pretty decent as well. But as a whole this expansion is a massive step back. The next expansion is looking awful as well, even the name signals a sense of desperation from blizzard.

A brilliant game. Follows on well from previous expansions and original. Well developed, few bugs. The disc uploaded in less than 10 minutes and then I could play. Very nice work. Reccomend it for all who have played WoW or considered playing WoW.Very pleased with this :)
