Summary: Superior To Any Other Game.
Review: Last summer, while waiting for this game, I couldn't believe how much media hype it was getting. From Blizzard's promotion's on Diablo and StarCraft battle.net, to websites such as IGN.com and GameSpot.com, there was just so much saturation in the last few weeks. So, naturally, I preordered it, to get my hands on it as soon as possible.

It finally arrived, and I popped it in. What happened then was only what I can call a gaming epiphany, because, wow, the game was just so much fun.

Single Player: As you first load up the game, a characteristic Blizzard cinematic greets you, one that is so vibrant and realistic that you already get a sense of the greatness. If you click on single player first, you will be swept in a glorious fictional world of Warcraft (no pun intended), which keep you immersed for days and days.

Battle.net: Wow. Just simply, wow. They have a ladder system which makes it fairly impossible to exploit, gaming icons which show your progress and wins, and even an advanced ranking and statistics system that can even show you how much gold per minute you have collected. Also, the arranged team function lets you play with your closest friends and track the team's progress and statistics. This is what WarCraft III is all about, and what makes the game have infinite replay value.

Heros: These are by far the most ingenious addition to a real-time strategy game. There is nothing more satisfying than stomping your opponents army with level 10 Tauren Chieftain, which has some devastating skills and insane amounts of HP and damage. After playing this and then trying out StarCraft again, any RTS without heros are just too dull. Add to the fact that you can kill neutral opponents such as dragons and humongous lizards, and gain some really cool items for your hero, the game is just a huge permutation of fun.

Buy it now, for it is something that you can't miss.

Summary: Fun!!!
Review: Fantasy like world with heroes and orcs, trolls, that sorta thing. Is made by the same company, Blizzard, that makes Diablo and Starcraft. Become the night elves, undead, orcs, and humans. Has missions and custom games. Very neat.

Summary: A Welcome addition!!!
Review: Warcraft III is one of those games every gamer should have in their library, period. Looking past the excellent single player mode, which is really an extended tutorial to teach you the basics of every race (there are four), multiplayer is where this baby really shines. Competing against other players over blizzard's battle.net service has never been easier. Connect to battle.net, look for a game, it matches you with an opponent of equivalent level and you're all set. Once the game ends, you're poised to start the next, then the next. Before you realize it's late at night, the entire world is asleep and there you sit playing Warcraft III. Addiction is the best word to describe this game. The four races offer a variety of strategy at your fingertips often dictating the outcome of the game. Your wins and losses are tracked and experience points are awarded upon victory. Get enough experience points and you reach the next level, lose a game...you'll slip back. Custom games enhance the online experience further by offering player-made maps specifically altered for fun rather than stiff competition. The inclusion of a hero, the core element of the game, is a plus. You'll fight to keep your hero alive and spend every waking moment making sure he is there to support your troops for without him, you'll lose the battle. Heros, too, earn experience points and gain skill points with each level-up which can be distributed to a skill of your choice. Each hero has 3 abilities and an ultimate at level 6. To sum up an already lengthy review, Warcraft III is a must have game for fans of Real-Time Strategy games. It is an epic game of survival between the orcs, humans, night elves and the undead with a little hint of role-playing thrown into the mix...and a great single player campaing to boot. The outcome is a game which will be around for a long, long time to come!!!

Summary: Not for the stupid
Review: Buying this game was a major + for me. Some people may say,"Its food cap is too low, or that heros are stupid". The truth is that Blizzard has finally got down to the greatest part of war; tactics. Since they have lowered the food limit and given you highly valuable units to use, you must think. ...You see, other Blizzard games room for a bunch of units. So people massed one big unit and killed each other. In conclusion, woe to the who wishes to buy a no- brains game. Blizzard, one day I shall be part of you!!!

Summary: Couldn't keep me interested
Review: I have been a big fan of the RTS type of game, specifically other Blizzard titles like Warcraft I, Warcraft II and Starcraft. This one just didn't live up to the hype. I waited a long time for the next generation of Warcraft and found the graphics to be cool, but missed the older style of play. The multiplayer just didn't keep my interest.

Summary: Blizzard Does it Again
Review: Ok i have owned this game from the day it came out and have played it for hours and hours and even days. I have done just about (in fact everything) there is to do here. Yet I still come back for more... thats just the kind of game it is. Here are some of the features:

-Amazing Campaign. This single player campaign has a shocking twist that will suprise anyone and make you want more.

-Fabulous Cinema Scenes. These are what really draws you into the campaign and puts you right in the middle of the beautiful Warcraft 3 Universe.

-Old faces Return. All of the old characters from warcraft that you got to know and love retrn, as well as some new ones.

-4 Spectacular races each with their strenghts and weaknesses. The Mighty Orcs, The Noble Humans, The Stealthy Night Elves, and The Evil Undead.

-3 unique hero unites for each race. Heroes are special units that can level up and learn powerful speels. As they level up they grow stronger and their spells become more powerful.

-Neutral units (otherwise known as creeps). Creeps come in different forms depending on the location but always attack you if you get to close. Creeps can range in strength from a Cobalt to a Dragon. Killing these helps you level up your Hero without engageing the enemy.

-Many items. Items are scrolls, tomes, potions, and artifacts that only your hero can carry. They help your team by healing, powering you up, raising your heroes skills and levels, and even summoning new units.

O man their are soooooo much more like hundereds of untis and building and... o i could talk forever but i think i have given you the basic feel. O ya BATTLE.NET IS SOOOo FUN TO PLAY AND ITS FREE. hope to see you online

Summary: The Best Yet!
Review: Short and sweet. WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos is by far the best installment in the entire WarCraft series. The storyline is very immersive, and keeps the player embraced from start to finish, so one shouldn't find themsevles in a state of boredom very often. The graphics, character models, and spells are all very distinctive. The characters are modeled very descriptive and they move extremely beautifully, adding an even more intriguing feel to the already elastic, but enticing feel to the game. Reign of Chaos' only main flaw lies in it's difficulty level. The game is extremely tough and challenging, leaving the player thinking for moments of what right attack, character/monster, and spell to use in certain times of vital need. However, if one can look past the ROC's large difficulty level, the player will find themselves in enjoyable gameplay for weeks, if not possibly months! WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos is not only best in the series, but it may possibly be the best strategy/rpg on the pc! Pick up this great game. Also be sure to buy the WarCraft III expansion "The Frozen Throne."

Summary: Excellent Campaign
Review: I'm just going to start off by saying that the Campaign is probably the most satisfying ones I have played in an RPG/RTS game. The story line is great, the cinematics are beautiful, and how they link the different races together just makes the game even better. The campaign is very suspensful too, with several surprises in store.

The solo play is where the game gets marked down. The computer AI is very stubborn. It will almost never attack on certain maps, and on some, where the path is blocked by trees, it doesn't quite realize that it should create a path with a siege weapon. Even if you do that for them, the computer still will not attack. It doesn't go around attacking creeps to get a higher level for their heros, so what you get in the end is a boring solo play where you sweep in, wipe out your enemy, your ally does nothing, you win the game.

Of course, the game makes up for this in multiplayer play. The servers will find you a match in less than a minute in most cases, even if you are asking to play a 3v3 game. The ranking system is great, and I have only experienced one problem while playing online, which was due to another player's poor connection.

Overall, I really do believe that you'll enjoy the game. The multi-level heros makes it an exciting RPG, and the RTS elements are greatly appreciated. If you don't have an internet connection, the campaign may be a good reason to buy, but you'll get the most out of this game if you have an internet connection to play online.

Review: OK... THIS GAME IS GREAT! I bought it when it first came out, and i still love it (and I'm still addicted to it) Anyway, the gameplay is great.

Summary: WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos ROCKS!!!!!!!
Review: WarCraft 3 is unquestionably among the best PC games I have every played in my entire life. From the moment you put the CD into your computer till the second you finish playing the entire game is like one giant rush of adrenaline. The plot is incredible, the graphics are great, and the gameplay is out of this world. I would recommend this game to any gamer who wants to play something new and incredible, but most of all, something that never gets boring. Blizzard, keep up the good work!
