Summary: A new story concept
Review: This Game is fair to the high standards of Blizzards and has on its own developed a new kind of PC Strategy Story Board.
The new concept of the Heroes does fairly well and adds a large chunck to the development of the story, which is without doubt excellent, interweaving four different fates, never lacking suspense or surprise.

The graphics do very well in the game play, but are just three steps ahead from being cartoonish. Overall the Story takes to much from the gameplay and the strategic thinking of the player
often bends under the weight of the already compeltely scripted story board. This Game, rather then being an excellent strategy Game, deserves to stand on its own as a high quality entretaining product, developed with passion and a love for detail.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Warcraft 3 = Greatmess
Review: [...]As for warcraft: Great Graphics..Single player is boring until you get beyond the Undead part, then is owns...no it isn't better then StarCraft, no RTS will EVER be better then StarCraft (Except maybe StarCraft 2). As for the expansion: I am playing it, yes, and it rules..New units new Heroes and it adds a little more fun to the game...
What is with this:"No strat is involves?" come on, this game has tons of strat..well, I am done now, [...]

Summary: Blizzard games are the best
Review: Warcraft III is one of the best strategic game out there, like most all blizzard games. It has a unique interface were there a movie scenario inside the game which gives it a unique story line for the player to get to know the characters. Playing as all four races also give the player all points of view to the storyline, it also makes for one hell of a multiplayer game. An aspect of the game is that each race lets you develope your own strategy to take on apponents, persay you want to make a whole lot of riflemen but riflemen arn't that strong so you build a small force of knights to take the blows of an on coming force while your rifle men send a hail of bullets down on the enemy. The games world editor looks pretty awesome and thats about all I can say about it, it's really confusing. Some things I can say about it it that you can customize your units, you can chage there color or size or even weapon attack. You can even make your own in game movies, I don't know how but I'm sure someone does.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor single-player experience
Review: I only wanted this game for its single-player campaign. For multiplayer, there are any number of titles I could choose from, so why pay more money for the same basic gameplay? I was hoping for a story as engaging as Starcraft, but I was extremely disappointed. The "protagonist" in the campaign held no appeal for me. I was unable to get into the game because I just didn't care whether he lived or died. I quit playing after about 8 missions because the story just wasn't compelling.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a good single-player experience, look elsewhere.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun RTS game, not too much strategy involved
Review: Being a player of Age of Mythology and Starcraft, this game doesn't have much strategic decisions compared to those games. I must admit this game is much better than Starcraft and can be as good as Age of Mythology depending on the way you play.

Pros: Tons of Fun
Easy to learn
Balanced Races
Heroes add to fun factor and strategy
Amazing Multiplayer

Cons: Graphics are a bit blocky
Not too much strategy involved
Fairly easy to master
No sea units =(
Mindless Singleplayer campaign
Computer A.I. is equivelant to Age of Empires 2

Bottom Line: This game is the best choice for a player that's new to real time strategy games but players that easily master most R.T.S. games and are looking for a challenging R.T.S. game that has much more strategy involved should think of getting Age of Mythology.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely fun, but Blizzard must make it even better
Review: When warcraft 3 first came out, I was shocked to see the graphics. Images downloaded from the net were poor, but once I played in my own decent computer, I noticed that the graphcis were better than expected, but by no way phenomenal. Most of it is high definition polygons, including units and structures. The water effects looked cool. Blizzard did an excellent job, but I still think Starcraft's 2D graphics rock till date. Blizzard certainly improved voice, the menu bars and tons of in-game elements. Most importantly, Blizzard improved the story. I am not fond of playing multiplayer a lot (..I'm really busy with school!), but the single player itself was worth all the money I spent on the Collector's Edition.

But Blizzard has competitors and Warcraft 3 will have to fight for the throne. After playing Age of Mythology, I was convinced that AOM was better than Warcraft 3 overall. Now critics will go do anything for Warcraft 3, but their fervor will melt if they see the outstanding features of AOM and not to mention a pretty interesting storyline. AOM is the only strategy game to really beat Warcraft 3 if the critics let go of their stupid fervor, and consider the facts.

Warcraft 3 Expansion is coming up pretty soon. I am currently testing it at Battlenet with 9,999 other players. The new units make a great addition, but unless the story is good, I wouldn't recommend anyone to spend any more on Warcraft 3 Expansion, but to go directly and buy AOM

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best game (any system) ever
Review: This was the best game I've ever played for any system at any time anywhere, including Chronos Trigger, Final Fantasy X, and any Zelda game. If Blizzard makes a game better than Warcraft III, I'll probably faint

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Game ever
Review: This is by far the best game ever made by Blizzard to date, it should be in every PC owners game collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Game Is Great!!!!
Review: This is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The graphics are extremely good, and there is a deep and interesting plot. The game is challanging and there is lots of replay value. Any RTS player will love this game and thank themselves for buying it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blizzard's best yet
Review: Since the rating was "How much fun the game is" I rate it 5 stars. The game is stimulating and Battle.net is set up so eloquently. The graphics are amazing and the storyline is enjoyable. However, do not purchase this game if you run a computer that heats up quickly or if you own a bad video card. My computer had the problem of constantly restarting automatically due to the immense heat created by my AMD 1.2 GHZ ThunderBird processor when running this game. My other games such as Tribes II, Starcraft Brood War, and Diablo II LOD doesn't do that. As my conclusion, I'd like to state that Warcraft III is addicting like many other "Substances", so don't be dazed by it too much and have your grades slip.
