Summary: wow...
Review: This game really blows Warcraft II out of the water. The graphics rock, and the gameplay is much improved. They've blended a lot of unique elements from several games into this one. My siblings and I play it all the time over our lan. Definitely recommended.

Summary: 4 Epic Campains, An Apocolyptic Story, What Else do you Want
Review: I got this game the day it came out because I pre-ordered it and never really got around to writing this reveiw until now. Why? Because I was to busy playing this marvelous, classic game. RTS games (like command and conquer, starcraft, age of empires) either had good graphics or a easy good well written story, butnever both. Until now. War Craft 3 combines good detailed graphics and a really good story, thats easy to understand. They also add a new aspect of RTS. You can have heros. You can build up to three different heros for each race. Through the campain you lead a hero for each race. You can level these hreos up by battling with them. You get to play four epic campains beginning with the Humans, Undead, Orcs, and finally the night elfs. The story starts with some future seeing dude warning the humans of the end, but they can change that. As you expect, they ignore him even though hes right. You lead a paladin hero, Arthas, the campain as he tries to save Lordaeron by fighting the Undead. He chases a dreadlord (a undead hero) a tries to kill him. At the end of the campain there is a suprise, a big one. In the Undead campain you try to resserect some guy and try to bring the leader of the burning legion (a army of demons whos behind the undead). In the orc campain you try to find hellgromscream and do other things, and in the night elf campain, well... I cant tell you or it would ruin the story. Bottomline is its a great game with good graphics and a good story. Its got good action in it and really fun. Its a must buy.

Summary: It could be better? What would make WC3 better anyway???
Review: Yeah, from my experience with PlayStation 2, I think WC3 should have been better if came out in DVD instead of CD-ROM. Can you imagine PlayStation 2 with that specification could run great games likes Final Fantasy X & Dynasty Warrior, why computer couldn't? In my humble opinion, great games for computer should able to be played even in low end systems. I'm iBook 700 user, because some reviews from particular website make me doubt about WC3 performance in my computer.
Please, why you all computer game developers don't want to make game in DVD format???

Summary: Ok games tries to give you everything, tries...
Review: I was a huge fan of Diablo II and Age Of Empires II. This game seemed to me to try to give you what is in both of those games. But it didnt quite deliver. I was very excited about the release of this game but when played it found it lacking for the following reasons:
- population limit is VERY LOW
- your heros level up but start back at level 1 every game
- since you need to level up to stand a chance you have to be agressive from the start of the game.
- the NPC just stand there, they should wander around, and once you have killed them all thats it, they dont regenerate.

It's a good game for the gamer with moderate expectations, but if you demand the BEST from your gaming experience then, checkout the other two I mentioned. Spend the money and get both of those rather than this one. That way you will get everything your wanting.

Summary: LET TERROR REIGN!!!
Review: This game is the best blend of fantasy, Role-play strategy, and war I've ever played on the PC. Can you say, 'Addictive as Hell?' The game's pretense is quite simple really- Four different races, each with their own unique abilities and leaders(heroes) are at war. You can either play the story mode, in which you control the races in turn and complete set objectives, or you play custom games, in which you build up your army by mining resources, then go kick the spit out of your opponents. Each race has 3 heroes(Special units) that you must bring into battle to gain experience points. The more experience you gain, the stronger you become(duh) - thereby unlocking more abilities to use in battle. Graphics are quite amazing(If you have the system to handle it) ... All in all though the game is great! Large battles, great animation, and intricate spell design make this game a must have for any RPS gamer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly enjoyable online experience
Review: While some reviews focus on the graphics of War3, they've missed the greatest achievement of the development team: making gameplay smooth, enjoyable and fresh, even after weeks of playing. While pretty pictures certainly help sell a game, experience gamers know graphics will only carry a game a couple days before it gets old.

War3 has some serious substance and gameplay depth. In a similar leap from War2 to Starcraft, the addition of a 4th race adds greatly to the experience. Unlike other RTS series (C&C, Age of Empires), there is no set counter to most units (if the enemy has X, you better have Y or you'll lose). The balance between the 4 races, especially in large team games, is truly amazing. Furthermore, each race is EXTREMELY distinct, unlike War1 or War2, where only a few spells differentiated Orcs from Humans.

New features like 3-D terrain and daytime/nighttime add another element to the game, forcing users to account for "real-life" concerns like taking the high ground or attacking at night, when visibility is reduced. Perhaps most important is Blizzard's well-established Battle.net service. The game runs impressively smoothly when playing on Battle.net, even in very large team games. The large community of players and Battle.net's new match service makes for enjoyable online gaming, a must for all new and future computer games.

Summary: The best game ever made
Review: BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos is defenately the best choice for someoene who is looking for a great game. Most computer games I get get boring after a while, but Warcraft III will keep you playing for ages. I got the game months ago and i play it a ton. This is the best game ive ever gotten.

Pros: Good terrain graphics, smooth gameplay, FANTASTIC movie graphics (almost looks real, there is so much detail), multiplayer games, 4 cool races (Night Elves, Humans, Orcs, Undead), a good variety of units, great storyline, and world editor, where you can create the most detailed maps and control most aspects of the game, cool sound effects, chatting on battle.net (where you play games over the internet)........This list could go on for quite a while.

Cons: Unit graphics arent the best, especially if you zoom in (They arent rounded out, they are a bunch of flat sides instead of bieng rounded out), this game takes up quite a bit of memory, so make sure your computer can support it.

Its expensive, but worth the money.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: RTS Meets RPG: Score!!!
Review: I admit that I had not played either two of the other Warcraft games, which as I heard from my friends, were incredibly fun. So naturally, when Warcraft 3 came out I seriously considered buying it. I asked for it for my birthday next to GTA3. I was a little disappointed at not receiving GTA3, but that grief soon passed as I became immersed in Warcraft 3's incredibly addictive game play.

The multiplayer was actually a little better in many respects than other RTS games I had played. I liked how things got going fast unlike AOE where it took FOREVER to finally get into battle, make units, etc. (Don't get me wrong, Age of Empires is one of the best RTS games out there.) However, I quickly learned that the very key to winning multiplayer is SPEED, and the game was actually going somewhat too FAST for my liking. I adjusted and had a great time. Another aspect of multiplayer that I liked was the variety of maps to choose from; not to mention the fact that up to TWELVE players could play on a map at once!!! I also enjoyed how truly DIVERSE each of the four races were. Not only did each group specialize in certain types of fighting, but (for instance) the Night Elves' primary ground troup is completely different from the Orcs, Humans, and Undead.

But the multiplayer wasn't the main item that kept me in my seat those first few days. Can you believe it was the Campaign mode that especially caught my interest?! The Campaign missions were made soooooo much more intriguing with the added Role Playing element thrown in. I loved raising Heroes' levels through battle experience. I also adored that, every time I clicked on a unit, it made a sound or responded with a disdinguishable phrase. This was not only pleasing, but helpful; so if I selected the wrong unit I would know by what it sounded like.

All in all, Warcraft 3 is an absolute MUST HAVE for any PC gamer out there! (If I could, I'd give this game 6 out o' 5 stars!)
