Rating: Summary: Absolutely fantastic game Review: Blizzard has delivered again!! For an expansion, this is an incredible value! Each race has new units, new heros and new buildings to add to the mix. In the single player campaign, they've created a very complex storyline where you are using many more new and unique heros than those that are available in the multiplayer format -- and that aren't really advertised (Naga Witch, Undead Ranger, Dark Knight). You also get two additional races - the Naga and the Dranaei -- to play as well in the course of the single player campaign. There are some very challenging, very unique missions to go through -- makes for some great game play!!In addition to the single player storyline, there is a separate Orc campaign that shows off their world editor tools and some new features built into the game that make it a little more RPG-ish or maybe Diablo-ish. The normal rules for hero development aren't a factor here as your heroes gain experience (no level 10 cap) and new and different items (even different from the regular campaign items). The Orc campaign is in 3 Acts. The first one is on the disc and Blizzard will make available at a later date the other 2 acts for FREE. Way Cool Game -- especially the Neutral Hero Pandaran Brewmaster : ) This came out of an April Fool's page on Blizzard's website a few years back - its a riot!! I wish they had included more of Pandaran Empire. : D If you already have Warcraft III, get this expansion - you won't be dissapointed. If you're looking to buy a game, buy both of these for some intense and enjoyable gaming.
Rating: Summary: I was disappointed Review: I am not a game junkie like some. I just like to sit down and get into a great game that has a great story line and looks awesome. I don't need to be nit picky about every little thing. I have played these series since the very first original Warcraft Orcs & Humans. I have enjoyed each game for hours and was impressed with each new release and expansion. Then came Warcraft 3. I didn't like it at all. The look was pretty old school. Boxy characters, boring graphics, and difficult navigation. Some may love this game. My step son plays networked games nonstop. I moved on to other games after only a few levels. I didn't get into this one at all.

Rating: Summary: Different from Starcraft, but still an excellent buy! Review: OK, so the biggest complaint I've heard is "it's so different from Starcraft" or "I like Starcraft more". It's true that if you're looking for a follow up to Starcraft, you're going to be a wee bit disappointed(Starcraft was a hard act to follow). But this game is still hands down, one of the best RTSs on the market. There are many in-game options that are vastly improved from Starcraft (or Warcraft 2, for that matter). You'd have to play it to know what I was talking about, but for example, when you build something, your resources are taken away from your total immediately, instead of when you start building it (can't tell you how annoying that was). And the Battle.net updates keep improving the gameplay. First player is awesome and has killer cut scenes. Multiplayer is where Warcraft 3 ROCKS! Battle.net has done a superb job in maximizing the options on online games including clans, quick games, arranged teams and much more. For long-time Blizzard users or if you just heard about Warcraft for the first tmie, you will thouroughly enjoy this game. I can't wait to get the expansion.
Rating: Summary: The height of the RTS Review: You'll be upset if you don't buy this one, because it's the end of an era. Monday June 30, 2003: Erich Schaefer, Max Schaefer, David Brevik, and fourth Blizzard big wig, Bill Roper all resigned. Blizzard was so far ahead of their time. Games made in 1997 are still at the pinnacle of the RTS market. They are still on the shelf. And! They still work. Blizzard already has 12 patches on WarCraft III. They were all about support and TLC for the customer. When they were were born, they had a goal to produce the best product the market had ever seen, and they accomplished their mission. This could be the last of the RTS generation by Blizzard, since they have some heavy roles to fill, and the parent company is up for sale. Super potential for collectors item. Artwork is admired by all. They had the top cinematics experts and the best pencil / concept artist in the industry Metzen, seen in the 1980's D&D work. This was the Renaissance for RTS.

Rating: Summary: GREAT!!! Review: This game was wonderful. I LOVE it!!!2nd favorite game, behind Starcraft: Brood Wars
Rating: Summary: Dont listen to them! Review: Ok liste up, I have a athlon t-bird 1.2 gig cpu, 512 memory, geforce4 mx440 (overclocked) This game can run fine on my system! I have the graphics all the way up, antialliasing, and anastropic filtering! So to that guy who said it is slow on his Pentium4 1.6 gig cpu, your wrong! You either dont have enough memory, or your video card is slow! Im a system builder, and this game really hogs the memory and your video card. You need at least 256 megs of ram to run it, 512 will run it fine, and for the video card you need at least a geforce2 class board (with at least 64 megs of ram on that). I hate people who dont know what their talking about. As for the game its a blast, get it. E-mail me if you have any more questions. [website]
Rating: Summary: Cool expansion to cool rts! Review: Warcraft III Frozen throne isn't anything improved technically but sure offers a whole new cool storyline and new cinematics, new levels, characters, options, etc. it's cool(but not best) thus i strongly recommend it for gamers alike! :)
Rating: Summary: THE Game of The Year Review: This has to be the greatest game in 2003. Considering that Rise of Nations is just a game which can make the most units faster than the other. But Frozen Throne beats ALL the competition. It has the greatest held together story line I have seen in a game in years and it comes with a great campaign and a host of new units and heroes, and as if that wasnt enough you get free online play over battle.net. The servers are lag free even though you dont own an Alienware Area-51 computer or a Vodoo F-Class. On battle.net it takes maybe 3 minutes average to find a game you're looking for with its anonymous matchmaking service. Rise of Nations? Well there it takes an average time of 5 minutes to find an actual game that you want but I can sum it up in one word "LAG". These servers make an 8 player Diablo 2 Cow Level look lag free on a Compaq computer from 1999. The Warcraft III Frozen Throne is a "MASTERPIECE", it may have very small imbalance issues but Blizzard dedicates more time to fix these imbalances than they spend time with their families. This masterpiece is a must have for any gamer and anyone that says different is plain WRONG.
Rating: Summary: An elf would of done it better. Review: First, let me state that the Frozen Throne is by far a better game then the original Warcraft 3. For an expansion it packs a lot of new scenario ideas. Nothing revolutionary (unlike Starcraft) but a lot more entertaining and inventive then your average RTS game, even the one it is meant to expand on. I would even go so far to say that it is almost in the same league as Starcraft, which was the last RTS I ever got into and to which all other RTS are compared. Most pail in comparison to Starcraft, only the Frozen Throne passed. If like me you enjoyed the hero idea in the RTS then you will enjoy the new hero additions as well as the Orc Campaign which is essentially a miniature Diablo game done Warcraft Style. Highly recomended.
