Summary: the greatest game ever made??
Review: wow, what a game. from the first moment i played it i loved it. This game isn't like all those other real-time-strategy games, it limits you on how many units you can build, and the new hero system is great. I gave this game the 5 stars that it deserves!

Summary: Amazing RTS. As good as starcraft but better. Great graphics
Review: This is the best RTS on the planet. I am a big fan of Blizzard games and have beaten Diablo II, Starcraft, and Warcraft II countless times. This game is simply great. The campaigns are unique and not tedious, and the multiplayer is fantastic. Good for any age as the difficulty level can be altered, normal for beginners and hard for guys like me. the four races are completely different and offer unique gameplay with each one. Of course the orcs are the best. (I am a long-time orc fan. even from the original Warcraft.) Everyine should buy this game. Even if you didn't like starcraft(all three of you) this game has everything starcraft does and much more. Bottom line: buyit. Now.--Jay

Summary: Good game but nothing special
Review: I have finished the single player campion and here are some of my impressions:
1) The graphics is surely a big improvement over the previous Blizzard games. But it is not truly 3D, the 3D environment doesn't play a role on how the units act.
2) The four playable races are not very balanced. Some are definitely stronger than the others. The unit generation and interface are very similar to Starcraft, each races are different but still in the same models of the three races in Starcraft.
3) There are plenty of units but all pretty standard. I actually think the units in starcraft are much more versatile and exciting.
4) The storyline is semi-complete at most. Major heros pretty much just dissapear after their particular campion(until the last level, which is a dissapointment, see later notes). And the major bad guys didn't even make an appearance yet. Guess Blizzard is saving all of them for WC4 or an expansion pack.
5) The levels are not well designed. There are not that much varieties. The last level is very dissapointing since it's a defense level, you just need to last 45 minutes and a big part of this 45 minutes are played by computers. (You can help, but not command).
6) Although Blizzard said that Heros play a major part in the strategy, in Multiplayer mode, it probably won't matter since you won't have time to develop your hero and they are pretty weak to start with. Overall, if you are a rts game fan, this game is probably worth it; if not, you may want to wait later to pick up [an inexpensive] copy when the price goes down.

Summary: Blizzard comes up with another amazing game
Review: First off, stop reading this and go out and buy this game now. Right now I'm not kidding. Come back and read this after youv'e invested half of a day plaing it. That being said...
Blizzard has just released the next "Game of the Year" for 2002. As always those amazing software developers at Blizzard have done it again. I bought this game the day it was released and I only played for 5 hours. My eyeballs were drying up no matter how much visine I put in them so I had to stop. The gameplay is amazing, the NPC's are great. I love how you have to manage your characters. This game has all of the best parts of the Warcraft/Starcraft series along with a bunch of improvements I never thought possible. This game is great, way to go guys!

Summary: Great
Review: I've already got the gold and beat the game on 6/29. It's really amazing especially the single player campaign. Buy it, play it, and you won't regret it. I'm buying the copyrighted version. Hopefully Blizzard will lower computer's AI in custom game b/c they're too damn fast! I'm just gonna tell you the ending right here.... nah just kidding

Summary: Warcraft 3
Review: Warcraft III is a new spin on the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre of games. It's very similar to the game Age of Empires.
The basics are the same as any RTS, you begin by selecting your choice from the 4 races: Night Elves, Undead, Orcs or Humans. Each race has their worker units and their fighting units, buildings and defense structures. Each race must harvest 2 resources which are gold and wood. Where this game begins to take a different turn is the concept of heroes. Each race has a collection of 3 different hero types which they can use to supplement their military force. Each hero has more hitpoints than your regular unit and has some sort of beneficial spells (some offensive and some defensive). What makes this hero concept unique is that during the game the hero gains levels as you progress through battles. As they gain additional levels you gain additional points in which to increase existing skills or add new skills.
A side concept to this leveling is the existance of neutral units. Animals are neutral units that lurk about around camp sites, neutral buildings, or other important spots on the map. They are basically harmless.
There are also neutral buildings where for some amount of money you may purchase mercenaries to join your army. So if you have a lot of cash and need people quickly just stop by the local mercenary shop and see what the daily special might be.
Finally, Blizzard keeps this from being a typical RTS game by limiting the unit numbers to a low amount. You have a 90 food supply and each unit draws from that amount. (Not necessarily on a 1 to 1 basis most units are 2 or more) They have a penalty called "upkeep" which says if you are over a 30 supply then the rate at which you mine gold becomes less efficient and another hit at 60+ supply. So if your supply is less than 30 you mine 10 gold per peon unit and depletes the mine at 10. 30+ you get 7 gold while depleting the mine at 10.
Some of the issues are that the races don't really feel that different, but as of yet the game is still in Beta and those are some of the changes they are working on.
As for my review I can't give a game 5 stars before it is in production, but I don't doubt it will become that. Keep in mind that Blizzard is a company devoted to producing a quality game. Their most criticized game was Diablo II and that has sold over 2 million copies. Starcraft is a game which is over 4 years old and it's still going strong. Fans of Starcraft may be disappointed that it's not as violent and that it doesn't have content unsuitable for teens.
Overall it's a fun game and more friendly to younger people than previous RTSs.

Summary: echem, this game is soooooo good
Review: Well this is a great game i might say. The thought of an RPG/RTS game is phonaminal. Blizzard has made another game to hold a record for a while atleast. The option of 4 races instead makes the game much longer, and with different difficulty levels makes it a very large game. The only bad thing is that he armys are to be smaller, but thats also a good thing at some points. Also if you like MMORPG games Blizard is coming out with one in 2004 called World of Warcraft, that will replace EQ (ever quest) any day.
