Summary: The RTS that changed PC gaming
Review: This game is great. RPG elements have been mixed into a solid RTS structure to give you a riveting experience like no other. Establish a base, enlist heroes, and build armies to conquer your foes. Enjoy heart-pounding cinematics. Command four unique races: Humans, Orcs, Undead, or Night Elves. This is Blizzard's best RTS yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful.
Review: Warcraft III was amazing, and TFT only improves it. As written elsewhere in these reviews, the gameplay is improved dramatically (both in single and multiplayer terms), the new heroes (especially the Ranger with Fan of Knives and Charm) are a lot of fun, and the storyline leaves you begging for more. And, as always, Blizzard keeps its wonderful sense of humor. ("And this one time, at Bandit Camp...") Hee hee.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for an RTS/RPG lovers.
Review: This game took me 4 nights to played. Can not sleep well without playing this game. It is worth buying.

Their 3D engine is very good, as their gaming engine is awesome also. Everything very good.

This is the best game in RTS the world ever....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Although it is great, it requires more improvement.
Review: At the first time, I do not hope with any Blizzard too much, as I faced from Starcraft-Broodwar expansion pack.

Although the story is good, I have many comments of this expansion :-

- The story is too short compared to the original version.
- Very bad improvement in Custom game, I can not choose new races to play, even I can in the scenario game. ??
- The additional map is too few.
- There are NO additional rpg maps. (Although it had in the original version). All I had to do is find out in the web, and downloaded manually.

Blizzard, please consider my comments. I hope your next expansion will be better.

Summary: best game
Review: This has got to be one of the best games if not the best game ihave ever played. I love the fact that heros again EXP and gain lvl's wich bring this above its predessesor. Great gameplay value and endless war possibilities make this game very fun. Also just the fact that you have the free online gameplay provided by blizzard also gives this game its value.

Summary: My god what a great game!!!
Review: This game is excellent combining varying gameplay with an excellent map editor and online gaming system. You can play hundreds of different games online and can have a huge amount of fun playing the single-player campaign.

I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS GAME!!!

Summary: WOW
Review: This is maybe the best game that I have ever played. It has everything.
Graphics- Not the best, but very good
Interface- AWSOME it is very easy to find your way around, but the more you play the more you get to really know the controls.
Upkeep- great. Blizzard Entertainment really puts a lot of effort into their games. (they only make 3 series.) there are a lot of updates that come, but every single on of them make the game that much better.

All in all, I would tell you to grab this game NOW...well...what are you waiting for!?!?!?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Probably the Best Game out right now
Review: this is game has a huge improvement in graphics from age of mythology and command and conquer generals the other current strategy games. ithas , as with all blizzard games an awsome new array of units in new races. Although it probably has the unit AI and commandability the games major advantage over the others is that it has heroes. units that gain experience and level up like a role playing character, it won't take as long as Diablo but it is still just as fun. this new aspect of roleplaying/stragey mix definitely puts it down as the best game out right now.

the expansion only makes a great thing better

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good game but,,,,
Review: Warcraft III and it's expansion has many flaws in the story, the missions, and even some of the units. When I mean flaws, I mean a TON of things were ripped out of Starcraft. Most of the Warcraft II's units have returned. There are two new factions: the Undead Scourge and the Night Elves. The Undead Scourge resemble the Zerg from Starcraft. Just read the manuel and you'll see how similiar they are. The way you build their buildings are similiar, you have to build it on the dead creep. A great thing about Starcraft is the incredible storyline and the characters that were introduced. The superb voice acting actually made you care about the characters. Not the case with Warcraft III. You have to rely on your heroes too much. I didn't think it was a good idea to implement RPG elements. When I played some of the missions, I could tell I had done it all before in another game. In one mission in The Frozen Throne, it resembled a mission from Brood War PERFECTLY. You had to destroy an enemy base while the enemy was idle for a few minutes. Brood War's version was easier and I was forced to use cheats on The Frozen Throne's version.
Personnaly, I think Starcraft is a better game just for the fact that Warcraft III is simply the fantasy version Starcraft in 3D(graphics are awesome, by the way. Good for customs) and plus it came with Humans and Orcs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Addition to WCIII!!
Review: I was very excited when this expansion came out! We went to the computer store and got it same day it came out, and I immediately became immersed in the WCIII world again. I played the campaign until the very end (I think its the first time I ever 'finished' a game) and all I can say is.. WOW!!!

Ok, maybe I can say more than that. :D It was a BLAST! There are several new races that you get to actually play during the campaign - including one that can go invisible and sneak around! I found the campaign to be challenging enough that I actually had to think and strategize, but not too challenging to where I got frustrated. There was one mission where I don't know how anyone could beat it without cheating. The enemy had a bunch of dragon type units and the ability to make more so quickly - I was cheating hardcore (giving myself massive amounts of gold and instant unit-making ability) and I was sending droves and droves of my guys at them, only to be beat down. It took me 2-3 hours to destroy that one town and that was with lots of cheating. I try to do the missions without cheating, but that one was insanely hard!!

One thing I do want to make sure I mention - the videos. Wow.. the video at the start of the campaign and the other at the end. They are INCREDIBLE visually. I watched the end one about 6 times - it was that amazing! Also - the credits for the game are funny.. worth watching when you get to the end. ;)
