Summary: Wow!
Review: I had never played any of the previous Warcrafts - much to my fiance's dismay! He bought me this game, and I was skeptical. I installed it and started playing - and I was hooked! I especially like playing the Night Elf race, though all four are so different and interesting in their own ways. It's not like a lot of other similar game types, where most of your units are the same as everyone else's.. this game gives each race very unique and fun units to play with.

This game is a blast to play, especially on multiplayer. We set up LAN parties at the office to play, and its a blast! I think the max we had playing was 6 players at one time - I'm not sure what the max it supports is.

I also played almost the entire campaign - until my old computer died. The campaigns are a lot of fun, the story is interesting. I really got attached to Arthas! Basically you play out a "chapter" for each of the four races - and each chapter is about 10 missions that you need to accomplish.

I highly recommend this game - along with the expansion pack (Frozen Throne) which I have played to completion! They are both GREAT games, it doesn't get a lot better than this!

Summary: Great Game
Review: Warcraft III is a great fantasy game. Easy to learn. Looks good. It even runs on my Pen IV lap top computer. Most games do not. The on-line guide is very good. So you don't have to read the handbook to start playing. Warcraft III always has add-ons so you'll get a lot of play out of it. Well worth the price. Wyatt Kaldenberg

Summary: An epic game filled with thrills and spills
Review: I've long been a fan of the Warcraft series and the well-crafted Starcraft. As far as real-time strategy (RTS) games go, Blizzard seems unable to do any wrong. One of the most hyped up games of all time, Warcraft III lives up to the high expectations fans and Blizzard itself placed upon the title.

Blizzard has in Warcraft III the perfect recipe for an RTS: a rich and epic storyline that draws you in from the start; useful additions to ease managing your forces (peons that automatically repair nearby damaged buildings, priests that auto-heal nearby units, etc.); incredible music and sound effects; an excellent set of scenario missions that span multiple races; and best of all - tons of action!

I'm hard pressed to come up with any significant faults in Warcraft III. Every little detail feels hand crafted with the loving care that has made Blizzard's games so excellent in the past. If you like strategy games at all, there's bound to be something for you in Warcraft III.

Summary: Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Review
Review: Warcraft III isnt like any other PC game that you would find on the streets. It is a game that includes a lot of fantasy, myth and Legend. It is a fighting game where you have to build an a rmy with one race to destroy another race that you are against. There are quite a few campaign levels. This game is good because its graffic's level is very high. Along with its 3 Dimensional effects it produces extra effects such as realistic mist and dust. If you are looking for a fantasy fighting game, I would recommend Warcraft III the frozen throne or Warcraft III reign of chaos. because frozen throne is an expansion pack you will need reign of chaos to run it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Frozen Throne adds a lot to WC3
Review: I bought Warcraft 3 because I am a fan of the Warcraft series. I was blown away by the amazing graphics and the overall playability of the game. Once you have beaten the game in campaign mode you can go online and play via Battle.Net, or as many people do, via your home network.

Frozen Throne continues the story during the campaign and adds new units and abilities for the different races. The details that have changed in this expansion set seriously improve the overall gameplay and help overall game balance. You get new heroes and units for each race, not to mention that another new race is introduced during the campaign.

If you enjoy playing Warcraft 3, then this expansion set is worth the time and money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Demonic
Review: The gameplay of this title is superb and I enjoyed every minute of it, until I got to play the undead campaign which goes beyond Warcrafts's traditional, strategic warfare between orcs and humans into areas of demonic sacralige. Now I know this is just a fantasy game and all, and if people enjoy this, that's their business. I for one do not take pleasure in summoning a deomon lord from hell, fantasy or not and that's putting it mildy. Just a heads up to some of you who may feel the same about this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Review: Although the expansion game is totally sweet, you need to be prepared to start playing a completely different game than WarCraft 3. The new units and systems make everything much different. I love the game and have been playing it for a couple months now, but its really different, so don't think your going to play the same race and think you'll do just fine, because you won't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: This is a game that is very much worth all the praise and compliment it gets. Just the sheer amount of detail and depth put into this game wards it enough to be the game of the year. You can play this game all you want, unless you're the type to pick away at things just to find certain flaws you won't find one. The graphics are superb, the music is top-notch, and can even give some of the higher budget movie soundtracks a run for their money. The control(s) of this game are beyond anything I've ever seen when it came to terms of ease of use. Even if you're not an avid fan of RTS games, this game is a definite must play and must own. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great game, worth the money
Review: The game was chosen Game of the Year and Strategy Game of the Year for many game publications and websites. They are not wrong about it. The game is very fun with an addicting multiplayer and a compelling single player storyline; I played it nonstop for hours. You'll want to play the game through its approx. 35 missions because its so interesting and fun. When you play multiplayer, there are hundreds of possibilities for strategies and every game is different. The most interesting part of the game is probably the addition of heroes that will progress through the game like a character from a RPG. Also, it will run even on slower computers and with a 56k internet like. Overall, I love this game and still can't stop playing it, I highly recommend it along with the Frozen Throne expansion.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: okay, but could be better
Review: Warcraft III is a great game, but there are many things that Blizzard could do to make it even better. A great addition is heroes. Heroes allow you to have a larger than life unit and to lead your armies in to battle. The 3D environment makes the game look a lot more realistic than Starcraft. The campaigns could be a bit harder, but they aim to familiarize you with the new units and heroes. The many types of damage and armor makes Warcraft III a lot more interesting than Starcraft, where the armor was the same.

Pros:

3D environment look more realistic
Addition of heroes makes gameplay a lot more fun
Good storyline, very interesting
Graphics are great
The Map Editor has to be one of the best ever
You can practically do anything if you know how to use it
Great multiplayer additions
Each race has unique abilities, strenghts, and weaknesses

Cons:

Blizzard could add A LOT MORE UNITS!!! There are very little units for each race
There are very few cinematics
In Starcraft, that was one of their strong points but not in Warcraft
The editor is very confusing to use, but after some practice you get used to it
The campaigns are quite easy, they are used to familiarize you with new heroes
Unlike Starcraft, Frozen Throne requires a seperate CD key. If you want to lend your friend your CD, you would not be able to play the same game on Battle.net

I think that this game is worth the cost. It will not get boring that quickly, and the good stuff adds a lot to this game that others games are lacking.
