Summary: Warcraft 3 is the best game I ever played.
Review: This game is really great! I have played many strategy games where you control armies and battle eachother, but this is by far the greatest! The best thing about this game is the battle net. You go online and have huge wars with other people. I like when there are wars of like 100 guys just duken it out! There are four races; the orc's, night elfs, undead, and the humans. Each race has it's own up's and down's like the orc's build the fastest but are horrible at air attacks. This game is not about rushing in and killing everyone, it is more tactics. I can gaurentee if you rush into someone elses base your going to get crushed, real bad! For all of you who have the old games and think that warcraft...., your wrong. This game is a MUST BUY!

Summary: Blizzard's greatest work!
Review: This has been the best strategy game i have ever played. Very creative, 4 completely different races, an incredible gameplay and it's a little bit long so you can stick with it for a long time.
And the free online play is like playing another completely different game. I have played this game at least 7 hours a week during the past 5 months and a half and it is still my favorite game (i play online). Also by playing online you can play other mini games that other players have created or improved such as the sheep tag; in which you have to build farms to get away from the shepards or the tower defense where you have to build many different towers to defend a city or other things. And many other more! It makes the game EVEN better than it is.
The storyline is very good and you can use some units called the heroes that are like playing the characters of Diablo. The only thing I think it could've been improved are the graphics; they aren't very good. Another thing is that it may be too heavy for a some computers, so make sure you carfuly read the requierements.

Summary: A six stars game
Review: Warcraft I was great, Warcraft II/Starcraft were better but Warcraft III is a real breakthrough in computer games industry.

1)Great graphics and an interesting story written as you play.

2)Superior artificial intelligence. Your enemies can organise their attacks, know how to use each unit and when they realise that cannot win in that instance they can either retreat or cause you some damage to make matters easier for the next wave.

3)Enormous creativity with 4 unique races, 3 heroes per race and 4 special abilities per hero all of them important and with very few similarities. This picture is further enchanced with many neutral units, neutral buildings and magic items. The creativity of the developers is also evident in the campaign: You have a large variety of tasks like Explore, destroy your enemies, do something before time runs out, hold against vast armies and survive for 30-45mins etc.

4)Better strategy is now required by the player because there is a limit in the number of units he may have. So he should rather organise his troops than building vast armies. In some cases the player has to cooperate with his computer ally.

5)Impressive psychological impact during the campaign. A video before makes clear how important is to achieve the task and so a video afterwards. Sometimes the game is interrupted by a video. you can press ESC and continue but you prefer to watch. At last the future of this world is in your hands. The same with some dialogs during the game as "The barriers between the worlds are weakening. Creatures from hell have came to our aid".

6)Campaign some day will finish but there are many other maps where you can build your army and face 1-11 enemies. You can arrange the teams as you wish. Heroes acquire experience (that means and power) while you kill enemies. Consequently there is a drawback if you stay in your camp and let the others to kill each other: At the end (or sooner) you will face a powerful enemy who will destroy you.

As overall picture I can say that the developers have examined every detail and succeeded to create the miracle. One may consider some of their ideas as bad but the certain thing is that they have examined EVERYTHING.

Summary: The best game out ther
Review: this is by far the best game ive played in years. it has rocksolid gameplay, great music and sound effects, awesome graphics and is perfect in just about every other category. One of the great things about this game is that it can be beat on single plyaer using strategy, but not too much. however, when you get to multiplayer, every move and attack must be carefully planned. you cant just go around beating up on other players, you have to really think. because this game has a food limit of 90 (each unit takes up a certain amount) this limits how many units you can train and makes you focus more on strategy than aseembling the biggest army you can in the shortest amount of time. Also, this game has the best level editor ive even heard of, let alone seen. You can make and entire game and do every single thing that blizzard did in designing this game. Every single thing. Basically, this is one of the best games you will ever see I would have paid a hundred dollars for it. If you have any questions regarding the game please feel free to email me at...

Summary: Definetly a contender for Game of the Year
Review: Warcraft III is your standard strategy based game. Create a town in one of 4 races. You can choose to be either Night Elves, Orcs, the Undead, or just plain old humans. This game is the currently the latest game from Blizzard and it is by far the best. The only thing that keeps it from gaining a 5 star rating from me is the graphics factor.

Blizzard Entertainment created this game differently from the other Warcraft and Starcraft games by making it three-dimensional. In the process of doing this, the characters looked more blocky than smooth. Another problem I thought was annoying was how only 90 creatures could be created on your team. In Starcraft, a total of 200 men can be on your side but in Warcraft III, that number has been cut down to a mere 90. Now don't get me wrong, that doesn't make the game a failure, it only makes the game more realistinc which, in some cases, is not always for the best. The game is still great, some hilarious comments are said by the soliders after being clicked on about 6 or 7 times.

Warcraft III is a very difficult game when facing a computer, it seems that the opposing computer player can see the entire map and knows where your base is right when you start... hmmmm... The campaign mode is not very difficult until later levels are reached. I haven't gotten that far but I have played on Battle.net and that is probably the highlight of the entire game...

Summary: Great Concept, Poor Execution
Review: The promise of the new genre that was to be created by this game (Role Playing Strategy) seemed to be almost thrown to the side by Blizzard. RPG elements are few and far between. The only real RPG concepts in the game deal with the Heros, and although the Hero system is one of the integral parts of the game, it just doesnt add enough to warrant much attention. And when you get right down to basics, this is really just another RTS game.

On the plus side though, it does have that Blizzard polish that you can always expect. Just a few little attentions to detail here and there really add to the feel of the game. You really feel that your in the WarCraft universe whenever you play this game. The graphics are solid and the unit animations are near perfect. Camera angles suffice for what they need to do. The soud is great. Everything from unit speech to the sound track sound crisp and clear.

The computer AI is a little harsh though. When you first start to play in the Custom Game/Skirmish mode, you will notice that the computer is incredibly fast and can easily overwhelm you. But one of the recent patches allowed for dumbed down versions of the AI. Unfortunatly these new difficulty settings seem to only slow down computer. So instead of having 11 Huntresses bearing down on your base within 6 minutes into the game, you will have 11 Huntresses attacking your base 10 minutes into the game.

The single-player unfortunatly was not very good. Other than the Orc campaign, the campaigns were very boring. Although I really dont want to spoil the game I will say that it seemed that everything that you accomplish in WarCraft II seems to be completely wasted in just the Human campaign, the very first one. The Night Elf campaign it seems was just thrown in there so there could actually be an ending. The race plays very little in the grand storyline of the game. The only thing that kept me playing was just to see the ending. Unfortunatly it was very anti-climatic.

The multi-player is where it shines though. You have your choice of playing in several different ladder formats that include, 1v1, 2v2-4v4 Random Team, 2v2-4v4 Arranged Team, and Free For All. Also you gain Battle.Net Experiance Points when you win a game. These points go towards a your level as a player. This helps during the Random Team mathes as it pairs you up with people that are of the same level that you are. The games are great fun to play and can turn out to be very long drawn out games where you eventually have to start fighting over resource locations. Or if you prefer, rushing is a viable strategy. At this point in the games life there are still a few imbalences among the units. The current patch (1.04) makes the Orcs fairly weak compared to the others. But of course im sure it will be fixed in time.

Overall, if your a fan of the WarCraft series, I would recommend this game even with the horrible single-player. If your looking for just decent RTS game, I would wait until the price drops before investing.

Summary: BORING!!!
Review: This game is [not fun]. I bought this game the 2nd day it came out, being a long time fan of blizzard. But this game is just absurd. I played this game for about a week, and then found myself saying..."I want my money back" The rpg mix that they've added makes the game so dull and empty, that it just lacks depth. The camera angle is the most annoying thing ever, and you can't do anything about it. I'd say, avoid this game altogether. I suggest Age of Mythology, which looks to be the game of the year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All the people who say the game is "over-rated" are duma$$
Review: WarcraftIII is the best stratagey game ever made. If you buy the game make sure you have a good internet connection-its just pointless withou it. It does combine some of the elements from Diablo, but those just make the game even better. Usually I play a game for about two weeks before I get tired of it-I've been playing WarcraftIII non-stop since I got it this summer. It's great, because if you get bored of playing games against other people, you can just go to a custom game and play things like "Tower Defence" or "Mini-Gunnerz". The game does require a fairly good computer, but whatever upgrades you have to make are well worth it. This game has awesome graphics, and the game play is astounding. This game should win game of the year for the next decade! All the races are slightly different, each has its own advantages and disadvantages-but I'll let you find out for yourself. The game does require some skill&time don't buy it if you can only play it for an hour at a time. Most games run about a half hour. If you buy nothing else (including food and that ...) buy this.
