Summary: This Game is Just Bad!
Review: Despite what other people are saying (i don't see how it got 4 stars) this is just not as good as it was hyped up to be. First of all, it just doesn't have the replay value I expected. The missions all just blend together and, well, it gets boring quick. So, after I had exhausted the limited excitement availible in the single player mode I ventured onto .... I'm a fan of most other blizzard games and I thought this one must be focused for online play. I was however, sadly mistaken. Its online play was just plain pathetic. The only good games are many of the little custom games 3rd party people created for it. But, those didn't even have much to them. ... p.s. it's slow

Summary: I've finally seen a game top Starcraft: Brood War
Review: Although seeming cartoonish and kiddy at first glance, this game is real time strategy at its best. Also, main reasons people criticize this game is that they've seen the commercial in the movie theaters and get stereotypical on it. They say, "Those beast guys have kilts so this game is stupid. I'm gonna go play Parrapa the Rapper 2 instead!." That is just an insult. Pathetic.
Visuals 5/5
Everyone is constantly dissing this game for it's beutiful visuals. I have never seen an RTS (real time strategy) game with graphics this good. The units glide across the screen with grace. Unlike in Starcraft: Brood war, the units aren't completely ot of proportion. In Brood War, the guy's head is bigger than his body. The spells aren't just all balls of light and balls of fire like in other RTS fantasy game.
Gameplay 5/5
The one thing that will have you truly addicted is the game play. (obviously). Unlike in Starcraft, if you play battle.net, you don't just play fastest map possible and other things like that. You actually learn how to play the game and have to find additional gold mines on the map to keep a steady income of gold. It's very interesting to go around a map and level up your heroes on the neutral units guarding gold mines and goblin laboratories. The battles don't take seconds with hundreds against hundreds like in Brood War.
Sound 5/5
I gave the sound rating a 5/5 because I just sort of like the sound. I wouldn't listen to it in my spare time but I think it goes fairly well with the game. I don't have many comments.
Replay Value 5/5
I don't really play the single player campaigns so I wouldn't know the replay value of those. But for battle.net I can play a normal game for two hours a day every day. I don't find it to get boring at all. It's a new strategy every time to find and perfect my knowldedge of the right strategy what units, buildings, and research to make and when. I still find better strategies day by day. It really is interesting.
Species 5/5
I definetely love the species in this game. They are absolutely perfect. They all vary and require different strategies and attacking times. There is not one unit, building, or upgrade that is the same between two species. In other game I have seen worse. (Age of Empires II).
overall 5/5
You should definetely buy this game if you want a fantasy and strategy game. Every aspect is supreme. I will never stop playing it. Ever. WHY ARE YOU STILL READING? GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Bottom Line: This game is fun!
Review: I realize that many people have expressed disgust with this game for one reason or another, but the bottom line is that it has good graphics and is very fun, particularly in online multiplayer mode. With an editor you can use to build your own campaigns and maps, plus an unlimited stream of skilled people to play against online for free, this game will keep you nice and happy for months. I would highly recommend!

Summary: Will Not Run on Non-Administrator Accounts
Review: Beware: This program, like many other recent games, will ONLY run on an account that has administrator privileges on Windows XP or 2000. That means that in most common home settings, school settings, or in public facilities with shared computers most users will not be able to play this game. If you have configured your home PC, for example, so that only you can perform potentially damaging administrative operations and have protected it from accidental damage by your kids by giving them "limited" accounts (a recommended "best practice" you should certainly be following), your kids will not be able to play this game. Similarly, if you have configured computers in a school in the obvious way, with only certain staff given administrative access and all others limited to "user-level" access, then only the administrators will be able to play the game. Note that although I agree with the general consensus that Warcraft III is an excellent game, my feeling is that it this limitation is a fatal one that should have been noted on the box (it is not) and thus I cannot give this product more than a single star, because it simply does not work in scenarios that it should be expected to work, and there are no warnings to this effect anywhere on the box or in the documentation. More information on this issue is available at:

Summary: Very good, yet, not THAT good
Review: As many people, I was a big fan of Warcraft, since I bought the Battlechest long time ago, so I was looking forward to the new part of the saga. As soon as I could I got the game, and after installing it, I had long hours of fun; however there are several things that keep this game from reaching perfection. First of all, it takes a lot of resources (I have 512 RIMM, so I didn't have much trouble, yet others with 128 will suffer while loading stages). Because of the amount of RAM the game needs, the number of characters that you can create is very little (up to 90), so there aren't any real battles like you could see in the classic Warcraft or Starcraft.
The game has a little bit of an RPG, since in every stage there's a special character (who can now be brought back to life) with a level that can go up in order to win new abilities; this character is much more stronger than a normal one, so battles are almost totally about him, since everyone else will die fast.
The game is very good though, the story is very good aswell, and the game will guarantee several hours of pure, old-fashioned, home grown fun. But if you want BIG battles, Starcraft, or even Age Of Empire are better for you.
Thanks, and Happy Gaming

Summary: A mind-attaching game!
Review: Where am I? Who am I? I found out for about a week ago... I guess my name's Christoffer. And I found out that I was a victim of the best game i've ever played. Which I'm very thankfull for. I loved the game, when I bought it in June or July and I still like it. It is a must-buy Features: 4 races: Human, Orc, Undead and Night Elves
A world editor to build your own world
A battle.net access to play on net (!) Final conclusion: Buy it. You won't regret it!

Summary: Pathetic attempt from Blizzard!
Review: This game is terrible. It offers nothing new to the franchise and is corny, unoriginal, repetitive, etc. The graphics resemble a cartoon. And a bad cartoon at that. The voice acting is as bad as it gets. I heard the words: "A sound plan" 49 times in the first mission. Also, this game has difficulty running on any system but the absolute best. Do NOT buy this game, you'll be bored within hours. As oppose to this, I strongly reccommend Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. A much, much better game, with tons of replay value!

Summary: I only have one complaint.
Review: For those of you who enjoy setting up your own battles on World Editor, I have some bad news. This game only allows a total of 1,080 troops on the battle screen at once. Unlike the campaign editor on Age of Empires - in which you can set up as many troops as you'd like - War Craft has a limit. This prevents the mass slaughter that so many of us love and live for. There are, however, some great points to this game. For one, the number of characters has gone drastically up. Now you can be or fight Gnolls, Harpeys, Dragons, Knight Elves, Morlocks, Stone Giants, Gargoyles, High Elves, various Trolls, Dwarves, Men, Ogres, Orcs,Tree Ents(or this games version of them) Skeleton Warriors, Demon Hunters, Banshees and so much more. There are fire creatures, snow creatures, water elements and many more beings that make this game well worth the price. You can be any of the creatures if you set it up on World Editor but sadly, you have a limit for how many troops can fight at one point. Oh well. Enjoy!
