    The World of Warcraft Cinematic shows a group of Horde and Alliance Battling one another throughout Azeroth, while featuring a Night Elf Druid, Dwarf Hunter, Undead Warlock, Tauren Shaman an Orc Warrior and a Human Mage.

    The Burning Crusade Cinematic Introduces both Draeni and Blood Elves and also is the first cinematic to show a troll. The Cinematic is narrated by Illidan Stormrage.


    The Wrath of the Lick King Cinematic is ironically narrated by King Menethil, Arthas' father who describes his son as a "weapon of righteousness" while we see the evil Lich King summoning his undead minions to his side.


    - Personally I think that the Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic is really cool, but I was a little disppointed that they didn't continue with the band of heroes theme. Nevertheless, I think the WOTLK Cinematic gets my vote.

    Why must i always read spoilers!! :(

    I'd say that the original cinematic was the best. Great music, cool fight scenes. Loved the Undead Warlock summoning the Infernals, and the Human Mage ontop of the tower fighting the Infernals. They all pale in comparrison to Warcraft 3's cinematics though.
    Arthas coming back to Lordaeron and killing his father, Thrall and Grom killing Mannorath
    , to the ending cinematic. All amazingly done.

    gotta agree with kiilth here, none of them hold a candle to the WC3 cinematics which were part of the reason i bought wow in the first place.

    Also, due to BLATANT RACISM i wont be voting on this poll untill blizzard include a Gnome in the cinematics :(

    I guess i just figured you've played World of Warcraft, where both of these things are mentioned more then once (including in the booklet). I think there comes a time when we just assume people have played a game, and stop spoilering.

    Anyway, sorry, and spoilered just for you (better late then...you know)

    I still prefer the original fmv, though they are all brilliant

    But in the original I love the scene with the undead and the infernal roaring behind him

    Ermm, I presume it is still governed by copyright law. All of them, but you might want to try Youtube or something similar.

    Thrall's action replay of the Mannoroth V Grom/Thrall fight when you complete the hero of the Maghar quest line in Nagrand is still one of my favorite things in the game, have done it 6 times now, most recently on my DK. The Dragonblight cinematic is good too, and the questline that follows is simply epic.

    The trailers/cinematics for WoW are all available to view or download from the official blizz sites - here - the original is probably still my favourite, spinetingling good when I first saw it.
