Summary: great game bad food limt
Review: good game takes time to beat. Better than the first and second. they took out water units so that was bad. Units look better than in the others. gameplay is good and the new heros are a very good thing to add. but theres a 90 food limt wich is bad it lets you only have around 80 units on the feild. alltogether great game 4 stars is for the lose of water units and the 200 food limt

Summary: Warcraft 3 Fun but can be overwhelming
Review: I've been playing the warcraft series since the first one came out, so I have experienced its transformation and can say that this one is by far the most dramatic in terms of graphics and game play. If you dont like to micromanage then this is not a game for you. You literaly have to keep track of everytihng thats going on in the game, from buildings to troops to what hotkeys do what. Now this is nothing new to warcraft because you've always had to do this in all previous versions, but this one takes it to the extreme. The shear number of things happening at one time can get a little overwhelming if your not use to it. If you can hadle it, the game is a blast to play. From heros that gain levels, to the great number of different units to command, (though it is kind of a drag that you can only have a maximum of 90 troop units at any one time compared to previous versions where 200 was the max.). The one player story is very gripping and loads of fun by itself, but the online play is where its the most fun. Sending in that unexpected overwhelming force to crush your opponent and seeing the word Noooooooooooooo show up on your screen is very gratifing. Although I'm usualy sending the word Nooooooooooo more than recieving it :). Like I stated earlier, if you can handle the micromanagement get the game and have a blast, otherwise stay away and keep your sanity. Happy Gaming

Summary: A Amazing Game!
Review: It's a amazing game full of wickid creatures and awsome graphics.
I've had this game since the day it came out in july and i still play it because it never gets boring with b.net and making ur own maps characters and other things like that. The only downfall it had was that there's no water ships but there's other things that make up that difference like that there is four teams instead of just 2 I think if u like any Blizzard games like diablo 2 Or Starcraft you will love this game.

Summary: A little off balanced
Review: I've played both Starcarfts and really enjoyed them, when I sat down after getting Warcraft III, I was blown away by the superiority. The big draw is obviously the four differant races. The humans have a nice balance of abilities and magic upgrades, and the three heroes have a good mix of defensive and offensive abilities. Then there are the orcs, which are surprisingly reliant on abilities, every single unit has some kind of upgrade, even the Peons. The Undead, aside from being completely disgusting, require almost no special work to get their abilities working. The Nightelves, my favorite for their mobile structures, have certain units that are entirely reliant on magic (the Druids) and others that you just order to attack and they just go (Dryads, namely). The Campaigns are a lot of fun, and present a broad variety of styles, from town building to fighting your way through a cave. At the end of each is an incredible movie, with awesome graphics. The custom games, however, are unequal in that the AIs rampant use of magic requires a completely differant strategy than the campaigns and they gang up on you all the time, even when they're on differant teams. But I find that the replay mode is a great way to develop new tactics, and a lot of it is luck. It's fun, even when you lose, though. It's an engrossing game with a huge tech-tree that allows you to work out unique stategems. It's a lot of fun, even if you stink.

Summary: LAN multiplayer is where it shines
Review: Single player Warcraft III is a lot of fun - there's some compelling missions and you can build up your heroes to a powerful level by the end of the campaigns. On normal difficulty it's a little bit easy though - try it on hard.

Where Warcraft III shines though is in its multiplayer capability. LAN especially. Teaming up with or fighting against an experienced player (desirably a friend for maximum fun) is something you can do all day.

There's too many good things to say about this game - it's a perfectly balanced, exciting, tense strategy game that requires thinking caps to be on at all times. After a tense game of multiplayer Warcraft III you'll be exhausted, infuriated, and ready for more!

Summary: Technically THE best Blizzard game yet!
Review: I am also a huge Blizzard games fan. I have Warcraft, Warcraft II, Diablo, Starcraft, Diablo II, Warcraft II Battle.net Edition and now Warcraft III. Not to mention ALL the expansion packages that Blizzard has released.

That being said, I have to rank Warcraft III right up there to my favorite game of all time, Starcraft. The reason why is purely because of the eye candy features within Warcraft III. The graphics is unbelievable and to be able to say THAT with ANY game today (as good graphics are not uncommon) is extremely impressive to me.

The added replay benefit as you go against opponents is a major plus, but obviously they had already added a similiar feature to the Starcraft game. The focus zoom and swivel was done very well. I can zoom in close up and watch the battle in detailed mode, or zoom back up a distance and watch the entire field go at it against each other.

The story line is still key to Blizzard's popularity. In Warcraft III, Blizzard once again told their story right. Even well before the end of the game, I knew that an expansion pack was going to have to show up to finish the story. Yet, after I finished the story in the single player mode, I was temporarily satisfied and ready for another set of Warcraft III. I jumped into the multi-player mode on Battle.net and promptly felt humbled as I thought I was an experienced Battle.net user with Diablo, Diablo II, Warcraft II Battle.net Edition and Starcraft (+Brood War), under my belt. The "remodeling" of the interface on Battle.net for Warcraft III is amazing and much more sociable. The buttons are just as easy to click with the overall interface being extremely user-friendly.

I have no doubt I will be playing this BEAUTIFUL game for a long time to come, but I will never abandon my all-time favorite strategy game, Starcraft. As long as Battle.net will support Starcraft, I will be there to take advantage of challenging people across the world. For now, I'm just enjoying the awesome features, gameplay, sound quality, story line, and graphics of Warcraft III. The ONLY thing I honestly disliked about Warcraft III is the price, OMG ... with the initial launch/release of Warcraft III, the price for one copy of Warcraft III was enough to feed a family in Africa for one month!

If Blizzard has to ban over 1000 people from Battle.net because of hacked software, illegal CD-keys and what other reasons... do they think that raising the price of their game will lessen people to use hacked versions of Warcraft III? Are they TRUELY making more money with higher pricing or are they losing money compared to games sold in the past? As more people are turning towards easily attainable hacked Warcraft III with the legit versions now beyond their wallet's reach. Especially with the economy being so "attractive" these days, ironically raising the cost of a game software that is easily hacked just does not seem like a viable "strategic" step for Blizzard to maximize their revenue income....

They should understand raising the price of their games will only hurt their legitimate customers. Lower the price and have more people jump on the bandwagon to own their OWN copies, instead of RAISING the price to turn people towards hacked version of Warcraft III.

Summary: The best Warcraft yet
Review: The second I heard this game was coming I knew I had to get it. Blizzard has created more than just a game, they've created a living world. There's more to this than just collect resources and crush the enemy. You get to put more focus on your forces. I hope there is a Warcraft 4 in the next few years.

Review: This game is the best =D. well, next the Frozen Throne of course. THe only part I don't like is that the orcs dont sound as funny and as stupid anymore as in WC2. Oh well, this game still is the best

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!!! Such a terrific game
Review: Probably inspired by Lord of the Rings the Warcraft series has amazed all the computer gamers, and this is no exception.

This game has got to be the coolest, most awesome and best strategy game ever made. The four races you get to control (humans, orcs, night elves and undead) are completely different from each other and are well balanced. The units you build/train to attack and defend are very different fom one another. You can build casters(necromansers, clerics, shamans, etc), you can build ground units(grunts, footmen, archers, etc), you can build flying units( gryphon raiders, hippogryph raiders, wyverns, etc), you can also build siege units to attack from distance ( mortar team, catapults, etc) and many other more.And one of the best features of this game is that you can control some units called heroes, that level up, get more powerful, learn new spells and improve them, and get items. They are almost as good as the characters of Diablo II!! T

The graphics may be just little square but the game itself trully makes up for it.

My favorite thing about this game is the online multiplayer mode, in which you can play with persons from all over the world for free. You battle them, ally them, be their friend and form clans and fight together, fight each other, make tournaments or make wars agains other clans. Another feature of the online multiplayer mode is the costume game, in which you can play with other people's maps edited or made by them, or play mini games actually made by them, or even you! It's like playing Mario Party or bits of other games! Some of my favorite of the mini games are Sheep tag; in which the sheeps have to build farms and run away from the evil shepards and the shepards have to catch them, I also like a game called helm's deep, from LOTR: TT (just like the movie) in which one team are the orcs and one team is Rohan. Rohan has to protect Helms Deep using human/elven armies using edited heroes of Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. And there will be even more mini games in the future.

It is extremly entertaining.This game is fabulous and if you dont buy it you'll seriously regret it. I'm almost sure that this'll be the game of the year
