Summary: Pretty Good....
Review: I got warcraft 3 from a friend quite a while ago, last summer during July. And I can't say I was disapointed, incredible cinematics, very good gameplay and intresting storyline. The music is very cool! Yet, there is some drawbacks. It doesn't sound so good, yet the ingame graphics are great for a stragedy game. It ran fine on my computer. It ran kinda slow some times, but most of the time it ran normal and some times fast. It requires An Pentium II 400Mhz, 8mb 3d directx8.1 video card, bla bla bla and so on. You can view the system requirements for PC and MAC when visiting the WarCraft III item. Any stragedy game fan-this is your game to purchase! I truly recommend it!! =]

Summary: Probably the best game I've ever played!!
Review: No kidding! Most games bore me after playing for a couple of weeks, or couple of months if they're really good. I've been playing WCIII for over 6 months now and still can't wait to get home from work to start playing again! I especially like the Battlenet feature which lets you play for free against other players on the internet. There are several different game configurations for Battlenet (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, Free-for-All), which, combined with the different available maps and races,and different strategies of your opponents, will garantee that you never get bored with playing online. This game plays very quickly and will keep you on your toes. If you are tired of games where the only object is to build a massive army and stomp across the map in a tidal wave of destruction, then this game is for you. You will never have time to build a huge army. You really are forced to be more selective about what you build and what you tech. And it is very realistic in that mistakes are almost never forgiven. Another nice feature is the replay. If you save your replay after the game is over, you can go back and watch the game unfold from your opponent's point of view, seeing everything he did, what his build order was, and can fine tune your strategies for different situations. It's a great way to improve your game without the trial and error method which usually accomplishes about as much as beating your head against the wall.

Summary: Wow!
Review: An amazing game. Very addictive and visually quite appealing. It is, unfortunately, missing a few of the unit and structure types available in War Craft II (I want shipyards). I'm hoping to see the missing units/buildings show up in an exansion pack.

Im most respects (other than the above noted missing units/buildings) the game offers a lot more options to the player than WCII did in the form of additional races to play. Each of the four races (Human, Night-Elf, Orc, and Undead) have their own unique set of units and buildings (as opposed to War Craft II where the Human and Orc units/buildings may have had slightly different names but were basically identical).

Summary: BUY NOW!!!
Review: This is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever created. It holds the throne over Diablo II and any other RGP or RTS. Who ever gave this game lower than a 5 is crazy. It contains great graphics, fantastic races, and an amazing hero system. And the online/multiplayer aspect is the best part of the game.

Summary: The Best RTS Game Ever For Very Valid Reasons.
Review: I started years ago in the Origional Warcraft, I continued in Warcraft 2, I've enjoyed multiple C&C Red Alert titles, and yes even the beloved Starcraft. And the truth is, Warcraft 3 is better than all other RTS games for one simple unique fact.

By integrating some elements of RPG with Heroes War3 beautifully shifted the main aspect of the game from mining resources, making a city, assembling and army, etc. to simply action. Since you want your hero to gain levels, you want to always be attacking anybody.

In multiplayer games (b.net matching system is HOT) a player can be attacking neutral enemy units (creeps) before they even see the other player. Basically it is possible (and recommended) to be attacking someone, or something, the ENTIRE GAME. No more making a city and massing forces for a half hour, sending them all to their death and making more. Only 90 PSI is allowed for units, but each unit is individually stronger- adding more strategical options. It is possible to take out a force two or three the size of your own if you use units efficiently, especially your Hero. Not to mention control over groups of units has been DRAMATICALLY increased compared to anything else. Micromanagement is key for multiplayer success.

Amazing single player campaigns (4 of them) with three (yes, three!) difficulty levels, and an even better Multiplayer experience will give a player nearly infinite hours of glorious joy. In short, War3 really puts the Stratagey into Real Time Stratgey. Warcraft 3 is a beautiful masterpiece! To this long time RTS geek anyway =)

Summary: How do you improve upon perfection?
Review: Even though this is my first wc game out of the series, i'm sure this is the best.

There are 4 different races (Orcs, Undead, Humans, Night Elves, each with their own music, style, and builds. Each race has 3 heros each, but you can summon one at a time. You obtain extra, gold, powerful spell items, and units by defeating neutral creatures on the map. They even sleep at night hehe. If your hero gets level 6 he gets a "ultimate" which are super map-shaking spells

The replay value and strategies are endless. The music, sound, computer AI and graphics are fun and PERFECT. Warcraft3 also has the best multilayer server in perhaps the world ------- BATTLE NET

Need i say more? This game is a "Must Buy"

Summary: The best yet
Review: I've been playing Real Time Strategy games since Westwood Studios' pre-Command and Conquer game Dune came out on the Sega Genesis. Since then I've been hooked, and played about every RTS I could find. Midevil, modern, sci-fi, I loved them all. But now I don't know if I'll be able to go back to any of them.

WCIII has changed everything. It is, if you will, the Thinking Person's RTS. Gone are the days of determining victory by who can amass the biggest army the fastest. There are no more swarms of cannon-fodder units to send in endless waves against the enemy defenses (unless you count the Undead's raised skeletons). In WCIII, you not only have to carefully choose your battles, but be selective in the units you produce as well.

The Blizzard folks have outdone themselves. Again.

Summary: A disappointment
Review: I thought StarCraft got dull quickly...until I played this. I was sick of it within a day. Very repetitive, far too linear, and extruciatingly limiting. Simply not worth the money...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whoho! Go ORCS! ^_^
Review: This is my current addiction, and it's just as much fun as the last two WarCrafts (and StarCraft). The game has been revamped a bit, so it will look and feel odd the first few times you play it, but after that it's a great play.

The hero's are more annoying than helpful to my own style of play, but I've seen plenty of folks who take to them like ducks to water (quack!).

So if you like Age of Empires, or StarCraft, or any other fantasy-based realtime game, give this one a try!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Starcraft It's not, Fun it is
Review: So, I was playing Warcraft III last night. Good game,but definately has some shortfalls. Not as good as Starcraft (which I'd give a 9/10). I'd give this a 6/10.

I'm sort of ambivalent on the RPG aspect of it. I like the hero thing, and not being afraid to use/lose said heroes as you can pay to respawn them.

Good -

The sound is amazing. From both the humorous messages to the smashes, bashes, and explosions it's great. The music is worth turning up.

The graphics, while a bit cartoony are still good. The cinematics are breathtaking in some cases.

The plot is good, and not kiddie-oriented.

Some of the missions have unique objectives I've never seen in an RTS before.

Bad -

Cartoony graphics. It looks like they were trying too hard to make it 3d.

Some units are worthless. For example - the humans are far better than the undead. Of course, that might just be my playing style.

Only 100 food available. This means you can have max

100 units, but realistically speaking, units take 2 to 5 food EACH.

The game is too easy. Yeah, it has a hard mode, but that's ridiculous. I can see myself getting bored quickly. Hopefully the scenario mode is good, for me that's what made Starcraft and Warcraft II have replay value.

There are a few annoying bugs. And waaaay to many invulnerable characters.
