Summary: Some Observations
Review: I just finished the single user part of this game. It is a great game. I am not going to do a full review of this game since it has been done elsewhere. I am just going to record a few things I noticed while playing this game.1. There is no new orc campaign in the main story arc. The bonus Orc campaign is not part of the main story. Also, it plays more like Diablo than Warcraft. 2. The bonus campaign only contains the first act, but with promise that 2 new episodes can be downloaded. Does this mean that future episodes are not free? I wonder if Blizzard is trying to start a subscription service. 3. This program (v.1.10) suffers from serious memory leaks. This means that eventually your computer will run out of virtual memory. If you are running an advanced operating system like Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you can just restart your program every few hours. I shudder to think what will happen if you were to be running Windows 98. However, Blizzard is very good about updates. So, if you log on to Battle Net at all, the problem will probably be fixed through a update download through Battle Net eventually.

Summary: Exciting new chapter of the Warcraft Universe
Review: I've been beta testing the multiplayer version of W3-TFT for the past few months and I just finished the single player campions. As expected, Blizzard brought us another great addon. Good:
1) Several new heros(1 for each race, quite a few for hire heros), all quite different.
2) Many new units that changes the multiplayer playing style greatly.
3) All the units are rebalanced.
4) New races(kind of, you can play them in the some single player missions).
5) Exciting story line.
6) Very different missions, most of them are not the build and destory missions we are used to, many new missions really require you to make the best use of your every single unit, which is W3 is all about. Bad:
1) Really thin manual with no story line inside; After the great manual they put together for Warcraft 3, this is really dissapointing.
2) Multiplayer games still most concerntrated on rushing and you rarely got to develope high level units.

Summary: Pre-release hype not warrented for substandard expansion set
Review: If one merely purchases the Ice Throne expansion set for the sole purpose of playing the new campaigns you are in for a treat. Same great 3-D'ish graphics and a great, creative campaign storyline as the original product (Warcraft III Reign of Chaos - a prerequisite) make the original a wonderful game. Herein ends the positives for the expansion set. For those who might want more form the expansion set will find it very much lacking. Few new heroes and units do not really make a great additional product. Units per side increased from 90 to 100 but this is still low in my opinion. Hero limit per side is still limited to three. Game play is still noticeably slow on Pentium 4 1.6GHz machines a far cry above their recommendation of 800 MHz. Many gamers were waiting for a better World Editor and a stuck with the same slow and rather uninspired program. Those who want to experiment with game balancing by adjusting unit values are still unable to do so legally. Blizzard Inc. maker of the Warcraft Series has a bad habit of sending a whole horde of lawyers to the doorstep, terrorizing and harassing authors of the software editors and those who host sites with this kind software. In short price paid for enjoyment value is low, and that I think is the most important considering a computer game. Too much hype for a poor product. Pass the brickbats to Blizzard on this one.

Summary: this review is only for very skillful player, not for newbie
Review: Here are the most significant changes in the new expansion:
1. Tier1 melee units and Tier3 melee units are the same armor type: Heavy. So those range units like RifleMan are no longer counter of high tech level melee units like Knight. 2. The Hero will get 100% damage from melee attack (normal type).
and the lowest upkeep is now 50(raise from 40). So melee hero will no longer be the TANK units in front of your army. 3. Because you can buy things from your shop for very low price at beginning of the game (100 points to cure 3 units for ORC).
So you never need the tower to assist you at beginning of the game. That means MF is just a piece of cake even for newbies. 4. The single game is REALLY boring. nobody who likes SLG will spend time playing single game. That is just a joke for kids. 5. AI of the computer in the custom game is very low. The previous one for the original version (War3 ROC) is much better.
In the original version, computer is quite smart to build counter units for your army (cheating)? But in the expansion, I tried 6 times only mass the tier1 units (like Grunt and Thrower).
Easily to defeat computer at any time (no rush or tower stuff).
These things never happen in the original version.

Summary: Warcraft III the Frozen Throne Expansion Pack
Review: At first I choked at the price of this product, high for an expansion, higher than many complete games are selling for, however after firing it up and playing a while I quickly realized that this wasn't just an expansion. It's a major overhaul of the game it's self - And a lot of new content to boot! The original title was a major set up from Warcraft II, and the Frozen Throne expansion pushes the title just as much. Obviously there is a new story based on the last title, and awesome new units and heros, but aside from the new content is the way that things work now. For the first time you can queue up upgrades, AND you can also queue up units at the same time (before one upgrade OR up to 7 units). A building Upgrade still takes over the queue, but not such a big deal. Also new to the game are Runes, like healing/mana potions, except that you can't pick them up. Once activated by your hero their effect is immediate. The Tomes also work that way (Strength, Agility etc). I haven't yet been able to play all the new units and heros, but the Night Elf (first campaign) Warden is much better than I thought it would be. My biggest complaint is that there isn't an traditional Orc Campaign. What they have (called the bonus campaign) is a single ongoing scenario that is much more role playing. So far it's fun, but I would still have liked a traditional campaign. Oh, it's also only part 1 of 3, so there is at least one more expansion to come... Pros:
? Much new content
? New interface features
? Great new units/heros
? Interesting Orc Campaign
? Works well on a machine at low end of requirements Cons:
? Price (though still good value IMO)
? No traditional Orc Campaign Conclusion:
This game easily overcomes the few bad points, and is still a good value, though obviously you need the original Warcraft III to play. Highly recommended, and after you install it you won't want to play the original anymore...

Summary: GREAT GAME!!!
Review: I got this game the day it came out and I have to say I'm impressed! The story line continues from War3 but there are a lot of differences (some good some bad). The campain gives you control of more than 3 heros sometimes. The campian also lets you control a new race once (naga). There is no orc campain and in the human campaign you control blood elves. I think there should be some minor tweaking for multi-player but I'm sure a Blizzard patch will fix that. *cough* orc bat-rider *cough*

Summary: Has Hell Frozen Over Yet?!!!
Review: I got this game the first day it came out(July 1st).It took me 3 days to beat it.But any ways this game is kick!It has a nice storyline,new customized games,new units,and a whole new way to play.The features are listed below -The story line is amazing.Even though there is only 1 cinemax at the beginning and 1 at the end.Some of you orc fans may be disappointed though.The fact is the main story revoles around the Night Elves(1st in camp.),Humans/Blood Elves(2nd),and the Undead last.To make up for that,the orcs are given a bonus campaign in which you are Rexxar(beast master) and Rohkan(shadow hunter) to play as. -There is one other race that you fight 2 times,and you get to be them 2 times,and that race is the Naga.The Naga are a race from the sea that were once the highbourne.You get the hero Lady Vashj who is a serpant type thing,and you get these serpant like people who have a lot of power.They are not a race in the campaign and have less structures and units than anyone else.But, when you get to be them, you'll wish they were a race. -The graphics are a tad bit better,and the neutral creeps are crazy and include things like the faceless ones,dragon spawn,hydra and other wierd things.Also the World Edit is better,if any of you are into that. -You are Illidan twice and he looks so cool.The heros that are new(the warden,blood mage,crypt lord,and shadow hunter) are very thought out and have some really cool abilities.You also get to be these things called Drangi(spt?)who are always invisible until they attack 1 time. -Each race has a type of shop like the ancient of wonders,voodoo lounge,tomb of relics,and the arcane vault in which people can buy stuff from.The cool thing is that all your units have 2 slots in which they can store items in.Also each race has a type of wierdo orb to gives them a lot of power. -there are also a lot of new units.For orcs they're batriders,spirit walkers,and berserker trolls.For Night Elf they're mountain giants,fairie dragons,an avatar(which the warden calls out),and spirits(the avatar creats with cropses).For the humans you have the spell breakers,dragonhawk riders, and the fire phionex(the blood mage calls it out).And for the undead you have the carrion bettles(from the crypt lord),the destroyers,the skeleton mage,and the obsidain staute in which you can either have it heal your troops or replenish mana. -you also get some good upgrades like the orc borrows getting up graded into a better armor,the ablility to have the crypt fiends go under ground for the undead,the ability to replenish more mana and health for the moonwells for the night elves,and the new upgrade for the guard tower into a good assult weapon for the humans. This game is really cool and the Night Elves buildings can now hit you when they're still rooted to the earth.There is tons of betrayl and a lot of the same people for wc3 too(like sylvanns windrunner,Malfurion(furion),tyrande,kel'thuzad,and other people).Overall this is a great game for anyone and I totally reccomend it.(Sorry for the length and I did not mention that it seems like everything costs less).

Summary: The truth about the few new additions.
Review: Actually, the more I play the more I wanna change my review. I've noticed some good things and bad things. The campaign is as I said nothing special. Seems pathetic compared to ROC. They couldn't even work in the orcs, so they made them a "bonus" campaign, which involves you do some boring tasks, than ends. People say later you download more, but thats just a rumor. Anyways, the problem isnt building. There are 2 types of missions. Get a hero, fight to the exit, while rescuing units of yours who for some reason still have their weapons even when in jail. Theres also get a half built base, upgrade your townhall or tree or whatever, than attack. Most missions are so easy to complete with the starting units you are given. The real problem is the characters. There are no backgrounds to any character or development. Maiev wants revenge over some dead guards so she hunts illidan, that is her ENTIRE story. You never learn anything else about her, except she has some real problems with being nice. Kael hungers for magic, which is stupid. Arthas is boring, wants to get his power back, and help the king of liches. Pretty boring. Then theres the crypt lord, ana'narub. He says "I was sent to aid you from the lich king" and bam thats it. You never learn anything about him. He is so boring. Then once you finish campaigns there is NO ending, and you learn what happens to NONE of the characters except one. Yes you have to wait for a new game because there was no ending really. It never says "Kael decided to eat, so he stopped being hungry". It says nothing about any of those characters. Battle.net seems to be boring. Every game is usually a rush now. They downgraded most unit costs, and now it is incredibly easy to get mass units and attack. Out of the 100 or so ladder games I have played, only a few involved zero rushing. Tournaments are boring, match after match, people love chatting about nothing. Clan support has added the new constant spamming. Every public channel involves tons of newb clans talking about how they "pwn" everyone and are "1337" so we should all join. The new units are boring. Spell breakers got old. Dragonhawks were in ROC just you couldn't build them, the AI could. Wyverns have had their name changed to Wind Riders for some odd reason. Batriders are fun, except noone goes them. I hate having to take down mountain giants, but they aren't too bad, same with those spirit walkers. Some units have been changed. Tanks are now engines and gyros are now flying machines. Boring. I don't know why they changed those units, but anyways. There are some new buildings, like nerubian towers, arcane towers, the 4 new item shops, thats about it for players. Than taverns and market places which are pretty boring. Neutral heroes are alright. Naga sea witch kinda boring, pit lord fun, beast master involves alot of summoning, dark ranger involves some life sucking, and the pandaran is probably the biggest relief. Its better than "vashj". Which reminds me, blizzard needs to get a good name department, cause the names for the new heroes and such are terrible.
