Summary: Frozen Throne adds a lot to WC3
Review: I bought Warcraft 3 because I am a fan of the Warcraft series. I was blown away by the amazing graphics and the overall playability of the game. Once you have beaten the game in campaign mode you can go online and play via Battle.Net, or as many people do, via your home network.

Frozen Throne continues the story during the campaign and adds new units and abilities for the different races. The details that have changed in this expansion set seriously improve the overall gameplay and help overall game balance. You get new heroes and units for each race, not to mention that another new race is introduced during the campaign.

If you enjoy playing Warcraft 3, then this expansion set is worth the time and money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Demonic
Review: The gameplay of this title is superb and I enjoyed every minute of it, until I got to play the undead campaign which goes beyond Warcrafts's traditional, strategic warfare between orcs and humans into areas of demonic sacralige. Now I know this is just a fantasy game and all, and if people enjoy this, that's their business. I for one do not take pleasure in summoning a deomon lord from hell, fantasy or not and that's putting it mildy. Just a heads up to some of you who may feel the same about this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Review: Although the expansion game is totally sweet, you need to be prepared to start playing a completely different game than WarCraft 3. The new units and systems make everything much different. I love the game and have been playing it for a couple months now, but its really different, so don't think your going to play the same race and think you'll do just fine, because you won't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: This is a game that is very much worth all the praise and compliment it gets. Just the sheer amount of detail and depth put into this game wards it enough to be the game of the year. You can play this game all you want, unless you're the type to pick away at things just to find certain flaws you won't find one. The graphics are superb, the music is top-notch, and can even give some of the higher budget movie soundtracks a run for their money. The control(s) of this game are beyond anything I've ever seen when it came to terms of ease of use. Even if you're not an avid fan of RTS games, this game is a definite must play and must own. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great game, worth the money
Review: The game was chosen Game of the Year and Strategy Game of the Year for many game publications and websites. They are not wrong about it. The game is very fun with an addicting multiplayer and a compelling single player storyline; I played it nonstop for hours. You'll want to play the game through its approx. 35 missions because its so interesting and fun. When you play multiplayer, there are hundreds of possibilities for strategies and every game is different. The most interesting part of the game is probably the addition of heroes that will progress through the game like a character from a RPG. Also, it will run even on slower computers and with a 56k internet like. Overall, I love this game and still can't stop playing it, I highly recommend it along with the Frozen Throne expansion.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: okay, but could be better
Review: Warcraft III is a great game, but there are many things that Blizzard could do to make it even better. A great addition is heroes. Heroes allow you to have a larger than life unit and to lead your armies in to battle. The 3D environment makes the game look a lot more realistic than Starcraft. The campaigns could be a bit harder, but they aim to familiarize you with the new units and heroes. The many types of damage and armor makes Warcraft III a lot more interesting than Starcraft, where the armor was the same.

Pros:

3D environment look more realistic
Addition of heroes makes gameplay a lot more fun
Good storyline, very interesting
Graphics are great
The Map Editor has to be one of the best ever
You can practically do anything if you know how to use it
Great multiplayer additions
Each race has unique abilities, strenghts, and weaknesses

Cons:

Blizzard could add A LOT MORE UNITS!!! There are very little units for each race
There are very few cinematics
In Starcraft, that was one of their strong points but not in Warcraft
The editor is very confusing to use, but after some practice you get used to it
The campaigns are quite easy, they are used to familiarize you with new heroes
Unlike Starcraft, Frozen Throne requires a seperate CD key. If you want to lend your friend your CD, you would not be able to play the same game on Battle.net

I think that this game is worth the cost. It will not get boring that quickly, and the good stuff adds a lot to this game that others games are lacking.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Build More Farms!!!!!
Review: Let me just stary by saying, Warcraft Three is a blast. Practically everything about the game is crafted well, from the voice acting, to the cutscenes, the gameplay and the strategy. Different from the other blizzard RTS titles, Warcraft 3 gives you 4 starting races instead of three. The Night Elves, Humans, Orcs, and the new Undead. All have different merits, and strategic abilities, to keep the game well balanced. The campaign is reminiscent of computer style rpgs, which is a nice twist on the genre, but what will keep this game playing untill the end of days is the epic multiplayer. B.net is now 10X better than it ever was for SC, with all sorts of additions, and gadgets to keep cheaters out. You can also make OFFICAL clans in warcrafts b.net, rather than in starcraft where it wasnt really official at all. The only thing that annoys me, and its just me, is hotkeys. My observation with these games is that hotkeys are what keeps people on the ladder, the better you are at hotkeys, the better you are at rts's. But since this is a complaint about all rts's, I wont take it away from warcraft threes 4 stars!

PROS:
Nice graphics
4 races, all different
Fun campaign
Great multiplayer on b.net

CONS:
Small population limit
Relying too much on heros

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS GAME ROCKS!!!
Review: OK, how could i put this? Simply... by saying... that this game is very fun. If you've ever played Starcraft or heard from your friends that WCIII is very much like it... except better. You get heros! Wow heros are fun, very fun. Then you have alot more races than Starcraft, for example, Undead, Night Elf, Human and Orc. Ok, one more race but hey:D still good right? And then there is TD's which I play mostly. Those you go on Battle.net to play, TD's are games that users on B.net have created (you can create one yourself if you like with the WCIII map creater) they are very fun. I suggest Winter Wars **one of my favs** and more and more come out every day. If you seem to not like this game at first, give it a chance! I mean really!!! I liked it from begging to now. NO reason you shouldn't.

**~~Peace~~**

Summary: Its Astonding!!!
Review: When I first heard that Warcraft III was comming out I thought it was going to suck. How could they make anything that could even remotly measure up to WARCRAFT II? Well Bizzard more than manged it, they far excedded any of my expectations!!

The undead-God I love these guys. Its almst impossible to lose because they are simnply so easy to produce

The Orcs-There back and looking for a little payback who would have thought that they would have a hand in actually saving the world? Thrall is my favorite hero

The Human-Battered but not broken these guys prove they can still kick some butt!!

I also like that for every level you hero increased so did there hitpoints and magical ability. Although it did kind of suck that they were maxed out at ten.

Multiplayer?

Absolutly no camparioson it blows everything else away and that is after the game is more than a year old.

Bottom line-If you have any doubts forget them go out and buy this game, you will not regreet it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Game is amazing
Review: I suggest to buy this game!
Since I bought it I play every day and it's always as funny as the first time.I never thought that I could like a game so much
and plus you can play online at battle.net where the challanges never finish!
If you want to spend your dollars in a wonderful game just buy WarcraftIII!
Enjoy your game,
Luca.
