Mac|Life has posted a new review of Mists of Pandaria, the fourth expansion for Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft. Features of Mists of Pandaria include the introduction of the Pandaren as a playable race, the new martial arts focused Monk class, a level cap increase to 90, and a range of new content to explore.

From the review:

If you’re the type of fantasy role-playing gamer more accustomed to orcs and fearless paladins, sliding into the role of an anthropomorphic panda bear is admittedly difficult. But Blizzard has done a fantastic job of creating an engaging story around the Pandaren race. And the new, Asian-inspired continent, with its detailed shrines and stoic monks, may be some of Blizzard’s best work.

But almost as soon as you’re drawn into this conflicted narrative and forced to take sides — Pandaren characters can align with Horde or Alliance — World of Warcraft’s quest system starts to drag. Mists of Pandaria is a marked improvement over the original pyramid-shaped quest setup, but it’s still so much back-and-forth.
