A 'scoreless' but nevertheless worthwhile review of Burning Crusade has come out at eToychest. Written by editor Jeff Stolarcyk, he says:
While player-vs.-enemy (PvE) gameplay suffers from a predictable grind, the player-vs.-player content benefits from being more of the same. PvP enthusiasts will find plenty to do and a number of great locales to do it in. Players who love running smaller instances will also be fans of Burning Crusade, which has decided to focus more on these more intimate affairs than massive 40-man raids. Your mileage may vary, obviously, based on how you play the game and what your tastes run towards, but either way, what I’ve seen is unarguably well-designed and implemented.
Let’s face it: if you’re one of the millions of people playing World of Warcraft right at this moment, you are basically going to buy this expansion. You’re going to install it, complain that for 40 bucks they could have at least put the game on a DVD instead of four CDs, and you are probably going to like it with few reservations. Burning Crusade's most grievous crime is that it totally invalidates the years of work you've put into pimping out your toons, but if you can handle looking like you can't dress yourself in the morning, the new equipment you'll be earning will be a salve on the wound. Some might complain that the expansion pack is nearly the full price of a standalone game, but there’s a lot of expansion packed in for WoW devotees to enjoy.
