Summary: Warcraft III: Game Concepts
Review: Warcraft III is a new spin on the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre of games. It's intent is to add some element of Role Playing into RTS gaming. A little bit like "Diablo meets Starcraft".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. Creeps are neutral enemies (sounds weird I know) that lurk about around camp sites, neutral buildings, or other important spots on the map. They will attack anyone on sight and can be used to gain experience. 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 an 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 slightly disappointed that it's not a true RTS but given the proper time I believe it will still rank highly.

Summary: THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This game simply is the most wonderfull I've ever played! When I heard last spring that the game would come out next year I couldn't wait.
Wacraft 2 has a quite good atmosphere and you almost wan't to live in this nice little landscape. Warcraft 3 has an even better landscape; the colours, the 3d movement, the lights and everything. The music and the game menu is also perfect.
Warcraft 3 is also very freindly to slow computers. Even to those under 600 mhz.
The units are well made and the buildings very good. The comments are also nice, exept for that some are a bit more boring now than they were in Warcraft 2.
I can't wait for the whole game to be released!!!!
This game is the best!!!!

Summary: end of June?!?!
Review: The beta is sweet, tho only multiplayer, so no single player action (my personal favorite) but patience... Looks awesome, particles/textures/light/edges are well done, and even the ground and scenery and "unimportant" environmental stuff is great. Gameplay is kinda revolutionary- focuses more on small, strategic battle rather than massive charges and resource production. Heros have RPG-type levels and cool spells that can be learned. Most likely best RTS of '02.

Summary: Warcraft 3 Beta Review
Review: "This Battle.net Beta includes all four of the game's races as well as a significant number of the full product's items, creeps, and neutral buildings. However, the beta is playable only through Battle.net. You can play any of the four races including Humans, Orcs, Undead, and Night Elves against other players on battle.net. Excluded from this Battle.net Beta are the following full-game features: Single-player campaign, multiplayer LAN games, all cinematic sequences, computer opponents, the editor, saving and loading, and several Battle.net features."(Reign of Chaos Battle.net Beta Program) After having experienced the game myself, Warcraft III puts all other real time strategy games to shame. Commenting on the graphics, everything looks outstanding from units to buildings as well as the scenario. Blizzard really does a nice job making the texture and colors pleasant to look at even when zoomed in. In the previous Warcraft series, the main plot is basically battles between Orc and Human. In Warcraft III, Blizzard adds two more races (Undead and Night Elf) to increase more strategies. Although these two races are new, many people have already grown to love them. I really enjoy using the Undead. Like Warcraft 2 and StarCraft, the battle system is pretty much the same. Unlike other strategy games such as Red Alert and Age of Empires, learning how to play a new race in Warcraft is like learning how to play a different game. They don't just change the colors of different races; they change everything from units, structures and the style you should play. Warcraft 3 uses the two resources gold and wood and various kinds of units and structures. For those of you Diablo fans, Blizzard bends the meaning of strategy having to include the option of RPG. Every race has heroes to choose from. Each hero is capable of gaining experience, leveling up, learning new skills as well as keeping an inventory for items such as scroll of town portal, health potions and mana potions. It really adds a nice touch of Diablo to it. The Undead, one of the two new races, really takes skills to play. In order to win the game, you need to master the resources as well as understanding the abilities of every unit. The first time when I played, I build a lot of tough-mean-looking units and invaded my opponent. Clearly I thought I was going to win for my force really out numbered his. My opponent was smart enough to use the abilities of his units by casting some destructive spells and frying my guys. Take the Undead unit Necromancer for example; it can learn skills such as Corpse Explosion and Summon Skeletons, which can be very deadly and useful. In summary, I really enjoyed playing Warcraft 3. This is not just an ordinary typical strategy game where you will be through after playing once. Learning how to play Warcraft 3 is really like playing four different games. I'm not going into any more details on every race. Let's just hope Blizzard is able to release the damn game soon.

Summary: Warcraft 3 - Excellent
Review: I have to say I received the Beta from Blizzard and I think its amazing game. Gameplay is excellent, graphics are awesome. The races so far are balanced. Gathering isn't essential as it was in its previous installments, as in Warcraft and Starcraft. I can't wait for the full versian to come out. It truly is one of the best games I have ever played.

Summary: You have no idea...
Review: I have been selected to test the beta version of WC3 and you have no idea how amazing the game is. I would have never expected a game like this one. Warcraft III is not just a sequal to WC2, but an entirely new type of stategy game. You cannot even imagine the game uintil you play it. ...

Summary: THIS WILL BE THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: OK I THINK THIS GAME WILL BE THE BEST ONE OF ALL THE WARCRAFT SERIES. IF YOURE A WARCRAFT OR A BLIZZARD FAN THIS GAME IS FOR YOU. IT HAS A NICE 3-D ENGINE, UNLIKE WARCRAFT, AND WARCRAFT II.
YOU CAN USE THE HEIGHT AS A ADVANTAGE AND THE GRAPHICS AND BATTLES ARE NICE. JUST GO AND GET THIS GAME AND IF YOU WANT MORE INFO GOT TO WWW.WARCRAFTiii.com AND YOU'LL LEARN ALOT IN THIS GAME. THERES 4 RACES--HUMANS, ORCS, NIGHT ELVES, AND THE UNDEAD. I KNOW THIS GAME IS PRETTY PRICEY, BUT IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY PENNY. SO JUST DONT STAND THERE, BUY THIS GAME, AND BUY IT HERE BECAUSE OTHER PLACES THEY'V RUN OUT AND ARE LIKE 70 BUCKS BECAUSE THEYVE ALREADY SOLD OUT.
