Summary: The best of the best....gets better
Review: Warcraft III rocks! Similar to the Blizzard game "Starcraft" this game is jam packed with fun and it is a very strategic game, amazingly additive. This is a must buy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Game Yet Confusing to Starcraft fanatics
Review: A good game which I had difficulty to adjusting to since there are many confusing options. As I progressed through single player (and beat it) I fell in love with the game. I enjoyed the deep class system , and warious options and special abilities. Yet the only thing that made me score it 4 stars is that I miss the simplicity of Starcraft... Definetly a must buy!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Awesome Buy!
Review: This game is simply awesome.If you played games like starcraft,Age Of empires or age of mythology this is simliar to all of them but better.With Warcraft III It Adds:

One new Hero per race, each possessing powerful spells and magical abilities

A host of new units, each equipped with new abilities and spells, giving players the opportunity to create diverse strategic and tactical forms of combat

Player-built shops, unique for each race, equipped with items carefully designed to improve and aid the units of every race

Neutral Heroes, available for recruitment by all players, that can supplement and strengthen a player's army with all new spells and abilities

If you are looking for a game to get good at I suggest you pick

this one as it will be a top game for about at least another 2 years.

If you find this game fun and your a RPG fan be sure to check out World Of Warcraft.

Summary: Orcs are friends, not goons
Review: I have to admit that I've killed many orcs over the years and never felt an ounce of remorse about it--and who could blame me? They smell bad, they drool, have terrible dental hygiene, steal the jobs of hard-working dwarves and gnomes, and of course...they eat people. Or so I was told. (*Mild Spoiler*) You can imagine what a shock it was to learn in Warcraft III that not only are the orcs not enemies; they are allies you need to save humanity's collective bacon. So as you play the game, you'll need to drive that Lord of the Rings propaganda out of your mind and find peace with your inner orc.

Warcraft III is a terrific real-time strategy game that goes farther in blurring elements of role-playing and strategy than any game that's come before it. The inclusion of heroes as role-playing characters is terrific and provides extra incentive to explore the entire map because you never know what items or quests are hidden in remote corners. It just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you find those hidden magic boots or that ring of protection. Warcraft III also marks the best story to date for a Real-Time Strategy game. In the third campaign of the single-player, I tell you that I was an orc...for about an hour. It's also worth mentioning that he tale cleverly unfolds in a way to allow you to play each of the factions (Human, Undead, Orc, and Night Elf) in a compelling progression.

Anyone who has played RTS games before will be familiar with the interface and gameplay of Warcraft III. All of the usual unit types are there--it's just that in Warcraft III they seem more polished than in other games. Whether it's the endearing signature responses when you click on them or the way the units intelligently form up, move, path find, and attack, every aspect of every unit has obviously been thoroughly tested and balanced. Not once when I gave an order did a unit wander off from the pack to explore some random corner of the screen and cause me mouse-crushing, game-cursing rage (see how well I found my inner orc?). It may not sound like much, but those of you who have played many real-time strategy games know that this is not a given. When I ordered a unit to march to a certain place and kill, they did just that.

I realize that the game is over a year old now, but it's worth noting how technically sound this game is. I did not have a hiccup in this game. Not once in my single-player campaign did the game crash to desktop, freeze, stutter, spit or delay. The load times were very reasonable and there were also no graphical problems changing resolution or color depth. The graphics themselves are probably the weakest element of the game; all of the units certainly look very blocky and dated. But of course, for a real-time strategy game, who really gives a crap? You don't need state of the art graphics for an RTS. I certainly didn't find that it affected my experience.

I only played the multiplayer a couple of times and I got stomped like the kid in my elementary school who used to wear cardigans that looked like they'd been swiped from Mr. Rogers' closet. It was that bad. This game has been out long enough that even if you seek out a so-called newbie game, you're dealing with people who obviously eat, slept and breathe Warcraft. But there was no problem finding a game and I didn't have any problems with lag or people bailing out of games. It just so happens that I stink.

On the whole, this is a beast of a game: fun to play, compelling, balanced and technically sound...and I think it's time we thought about an orc for president.

Summary: One of the best level makers ever
Review: This review is about the awsome world editor. If you what to stop kicking your opponts aroud when you're goten really good take a break from the game and check out the world editor. Alough it's hard to use at frist when you know how to do just the basics you can make awsome maps. The tiggers can be had to use but, like you might have lerned in school ever cause has a effect. This is what the tirggers are like cause and effect. If you stopped to think there are condishtions with cause and effect. take this you trip on a rock in the grass it's a soft landing because you land on the grass or you tirp on a rock and fall on the road it's a hard landing because you land on the road. It's kinda like that. After you leaarn the basics you can even start making cinamatics.(you can make anything as good a Blizzard does though)With the object editor you can change almost any units and/or make new units. If you think you're really good make a campain. But if you just like to makes maps go ahead. When you finish a map host it on Battle.Net(if you can)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than being beaten to death by packs of rabid midgets!
Review: Simply put, this's one of the best strategy games out there. It's also pretty descent as RPGs go, though the interface is still decidedly strategy, so it does tend to lack a bit of rpgishness that hardcore rpg'ers may expect from it.

Overall, it's really a great blend. The expansion re-wrote the entire game and made it balanced and worth playing, removing most of the flaws from before. The strategy guides included are somewhat helpful for single player missions, but really, blizzard's own site gives way more accurate, up to date, and full information. Relying solely upon the strategy guides is a mistake, but it's not a bad idea to take a look at them either.

Many people are still sure that starcraft is the better game. It's very much so possible. The battlechest does alot of things right that starcraft missed, but somehow looses a bit of that "perfect" feeling somewheres. It's hard to figure out where though.

The plot is good, the graphics are nice, while keeping low enough that most people can play the game without any computer upgrades. The voice acting isn't bad, but could be a little better. (Which's true for about all games except maybe soul reaver 2 so no big deal) Everything about the game is top notch, and it's definately one of the best games yeu can get. If yeu're looking for the best buy for yeur money, and haven't tried warcraft 3 at all yet, but like either RPGs or strategy games, grab this now. It's really worth it.

The flaw: The expansion part of this game insists way too heavily upon 'rushing'. Very fast attacks at the start of the game. The official online play is somewhat good for new players, trying to keep skill levels seperate, but it really doesn't work so well. If yeu're new, expect a hard game online. Don't bother playing online until yeu can beat the computer players in a skirmish.

Rating: 5 stars
