Summary: Excellent Game, truly unbelievable!
Review: This game is great, what else do you expect from Blizzard? With combining both "Reign of Chaos" and "Frozen Throne", its a winning combination. "Reign of Chaos" is a great game that takes you through 4 campaigns with 4 races, the new Undead and Night Elf races are nice introductions to spice up the game and evolve it from the times of Warcraft II. Much has changed here, this game has a little medieval touch to it which I really like, pretty easy to understand what an axe is, unlike in Starcraft(the sci-fi weapons). They made this game well because there is no "easy" difficulty setting, only "normal" and "hard", so you'll like trying to win the levels and put a little more effort in(unless your a ... and have to use cheat codes to spoil the game). And the campaign is definetly NOT easy, only the human campaign is truly easy. Once you get to the Night Elf campaign, well good luck, you'll need it(especially on the last level). Sure, certain missions are easy, but thats what the expansion pack, "The Frozen Throne" makes up for. First, I'd like to say the the campaigns on TFT are EXTREMELY HARD. You start off with the Night Elf campaign, and the first mission isnt too difficult, but if you compare RoC's(Reign of Chaos) with this one, you'll see that the bar of difficulty has been raised. Next, you go to the Alliance Campaign, which pretty much entirely revolves around the Blood Elves, which is a new, non-playable in custom games, race. You also get to use the Naga forces again as you did in one Night Elf mission. You then move onto the final, and hardest, campaign, The Scourge. Yes, the undead are still here, and DAMN is this campaign hard. Every mission requires skill, patience, and raw brutality to win. Anyone who says this campaign is easy, must be the best gamer of all time. These missions are hard, and are very long. This will keep you mesmorized in the game. There is also a Bonus campaign!! Just when I thought things couldnt get any better. This campaign is looonnnggg(if you have all 3 Acts downloaded, you can get them by simply logging onto battle.net on your account), Rexxar, a beastmaster, goes through many many levels of obstacles. This Bonus campaign makes up for the lack of an Orc campaign in TFT. This campaign is a story, and never cuts off, just revolves around Rexxar, its absolutely awesome! 4 new heros(1 for each race, and even more that you can hire!) add even more to the excitement. You should really get a battle.net account(and this is great, its totally free) so you can automatically download new patches to make your game better! I really love battle.net, no paying 20 bucks a month to play with millions of other people online, no 3 months free then pay, none of that! Its just a free gamer universe for Blizzard games. This feature here will guarantee that even when you finish the campaigns, battle.net will bring you YEARS of enjoyment to the game. Another thing to add in, this game was named "Game of the Year" by Gamespot, and its so true. I dont see how you could not like this game, aside from little complaints that really dont give a serious down to the game, you'll love this! This game is definetly worth your money, and putting the expansion with the original in the same box, is an even greater plus! Buy this game, its worth every penny, you will NOT be dissappointed.

Summary: Impeccable....Simply Impeccable...
Review: This game was my life for about 4 months straight. Every morning I'd wake up and play Warcraft. Blizzard has done well with all its games but this one(and diablo of course)has been by far the best(or at least till world of warcraft comes out). The cinematics on this game are a work of art and I could watch them again and again. What's really impressive about blizzard is their battle.net feature. Not only is it free but all the games people create are mad fun. With this feature it's virtually impossible to get bored with this game since new games are being created everyday. I sadly have a crap computer now with dial up...a few steps down from a nice gateway and cable. But nonetheless this is a fabulous game. Blizzard has never let me down and if all their work is like this they truly never will.

Summary: Warcraft 3 is back, and better than ever before!
Review: The original Warcraft 3: the Reign of Chaos was a simply excellent game, as all Warcraft installments have been to this very point, so it stood to reason that its expansion pack would be equally awesome, and I can honestly say that I will be spending a lot of time with it.
What Reign of Chaos started, Frozen Throne continues, vastly expanding the number of creatures, missions and character/race interactions the gamer can and will experience.
The sound is actually far better than it was in Reign of Chaos, which frankly, had a very dull tone to it, useful for lulling babies to sleep. In Frozen Throne, also, the voices are of equal quality as in the first Warcraft 3 installment, which is to say, perfect.
The game is still quite playable, and introduces a new race and several new units for different races. Also, the graphics maintain the same high standard of excellence. And as always, Blizzard has inserted a number of surprises for those enterprising enough to seek them out. The missions tell more of the story, and further divide the races of the Warcraft World from 5 into an almost innumerable number, in preperation for the World of Warcraft.
But it's not the missions I'll be spending the most time on. It's the world editor.
With the addition of new creatures and character models to the Warcraft mix, the world editor it uses to allow gamers to make their own levels has become even MORE all-encompassing and powerful. Now, it is possible to make virtually any style of game you desire with relitively little effort. Took me under a month to learn the whole thing, and that's mostly because I had a tough time finding tutorials.
In other words, Warcraft 3 is, overall, the RTS game I spend the most time with, and as such, it's probably the best choice if you only buy one. But if you buy one and an expansion, be sure to get this. It's worth it.

Summary: If You Play One Real-Time Strategy Game In Your Life...
Review: Every company these days has their own version of a real-time strategy (RTS) game and many aren't worth the price as they are cheap rip-offs of other popular ideas. However, if you'd like to play a game created by the company most responsible for the RTS craze, then look no further than Warcraft 3. Not only do you get the most balanced RTS game available which makes for better multiplayer competition but you also get one heck of a single-player campaign. The story in Warcraft 3 is terrific and probably better than most role-playing games. To top it off, Warcraft 3 combines superior graphics with the best artwork you will ever see in a real-time strategy game. The orcs, undead legions, humans, elves and many worlds they explore are a visual as well as strategic experience. And best of all, this game that was well worth the price when it was released is now packaged with the top notch expansion, The Frozen Throne, which is an expansion that is actually better than most regular RTS games these days. If you've never tried the Blizzard series of real-time strategy games, you're missing out. This company is pure class and even provides a free online gaming service called BattleNet that allows you to match your wits against thousands of online gamers. Whether it be releasing some of the most stable games in years or banning griefers on BattleNet that formed a childish organization whose only intention was to backstab allies in multi-player competition, Blizzard is known as one of the best gaming companies in the business, and it shows with their games.

Summary: Warcraft 3 Review
Review: I loved Warcraft 2. When I bought Warcraft 3, I thought it would be just like 2. When I saw and played it, I thought it was
many times better and different from 2. The graphics are so much better and the gameplay is better as well. In 2, spells
hafe to be manualy controlled, but in 3, some spells can be
automaticlly casted. Another cool thing is the heros. Three heros for each four races. You can build up their levels and have them learn more powerful spells and abilities. Each hero
even has an ultimante abilite that is very powerful and usefull.
Dont hesitate to buy this game.

Summary: Amazing expansion for an amazing game!
Review: Warcraft III is my favorite game ever, and The Frozen Throne just makes it even better. Unlike most strategy game expansions, where it seems the creators just threw in some random new units for the hell of it, you can tell that the people at Blizzard Entertainment actually put some thought into how to improve the game, and the new units add more balance. This is what expansion sets should be like!

Summary: One of the best RPG's ever!
Review: WarCraftIII Reign of Chaos is a excellent game once you get started it's hard to put it down. Mind it does take a long time to complete the game but Battle.net really makes up for a lot of that. In WarCraftIII you'll spend what seems like endless hours trying to defeat four different races personally I like the Orcs over anything else. I rated this game four stars because the only way you'll enjoy this game a lot is if you have played an RPG that took what seemed like hundreds of endless man hours to complete

Summary: A Great Expansion!
Review: The Frozen Throne is a must for any Warcraft fan. It adds enough new units, upgrades, and heroes to make the game seem new once more. Furthermore, a new campaign is added that continues the story where Reign of Chaos left off. The expansion adds a new hero to each side- the Shadow Hunter for the Orcs, Blood Mage for the Humans, Crypt Lord for the Undead, and Warden for the Night Elves. The Shadow Hunter is probably the most notable addition here, since previously Orcs had no good way to heal their units early in the game. The Warden is also a good Night Elf pick if you want to try assassinating someone else's hero. Additionally, you can hire mercenary heroes at a Tavern. These are just as good as the ones you get normally, save that they don't take any time to train. They include the Naga Sea Witch, Pandaren Brewmaster, Beastmaster, Dark Ranger, and Pit Lord. New units and upgrades are also added for each side. Some of the old units, including the Ballista and Catapult, have been changed and renamed. The Orc units are the Batrider (anti-air flyer) and Spirit Walker (Tauren support caster). Upgrades include the Troll Berserker- a throwback to Warcraft 2 and Reinforced Defenses, which makes defensive buildings tougher. The Humans get the Spell Breaker (a caster-killer) and Dragonhawk Rider (another anti-air unit) as well the Arcane Tower- which could save you from a one-hero rush. Upgrades include Barrage and Flak Cannons, which make Siege Tanks and Flying Machines into very serious anti-air units. The Undead receive the Obsidian Statue, which can either heal nearby enemies or restore their mana. It can also be turned into the Destroyer, a deadly magic-immune air unit. The Nerubian Tower is also added, which does less damage than Spirit Towers but slows enemies. Upgrades include Exhume Corpses, which lets Meat Wagons generate corpses on their own. The Night Elves gain the Mountain Giant, now the most powerful melee unit, and the Faerie Dragon, an anti-caster air unit. Upgrades include Mark of the Claw, which allows Druids in bear form to cast Roar. In addition to these units, every side can now build a shop that sells items geared toward that side's strategy. For example, the Undead shop sells an item that can make a patch of blight anywhere it's deployed, which allows them to build defenses outside their home base. There's also a host of new creeps to find and fight, some of which are incredibly powerful. The new units and upgrades do change the way the game is played. For one, it's now quite risky to make an all-caster army, since there's no less than three new units that are completely immune to magic. Needless to say, the new hero choices and the presence of Taverns also results in new potential strategies. Despite the changes, however, it's generally true that what worked in Reign of Chaos still works in Frozen Throne- you just might need to make some alterations to your army makeup. The single play campaign is great. It includes two new cinematics (as is the norm for Blizzard productions, quite eye-popping) and introduces quite a few new characters as well as some old. The story focuses on rivals Illidan and Arthas, but supporting cast is also involved, including a rather interesting bit from Sylvanus Windrunner. There's even a new semi-playable side added- the Naga. I wish there were a way to play them in custom games or multiplayer, even though they aren't fully fleshed-out as a race. In all there's a Night Elf, Alliance (humans and blood elves), and Undead campaign. The Orcs don't figure heavily into this part of the plot, but there's a bonus Orc campaign that continues the story where it left off and includes guest appearances by Thrall, Jaina, and Cairne (download it by connecting to Battle.net). One of the best things about playing these campaigns is you get quite familiar with some of the new available heroes, which will help when it comes time to make your choices in multiplay. In some missions you'll also see something notably missing from the game- naval units. These can be built by way of a goblin shipyard, though as yet they aren't available in custom games or multiplay. There's also a lot of new magic items to be seen, some of which are downright godly. For mapmakers, there are also new doodads and tilesets for the editor, including sunken ruins and Dalaran ruins. Some of the new placeable objects are quite impressive. The editor has also been revamped, allowing more control over characters and spells. If you know what you're doing, it can now change pretty much every aspect of the game. Frozen Throne is about as good as an expansion can get, and is especially excellent for an RTS expansion. If you like Warcraft III, you shouldn't hesitate to get it. The bonus campaign in particular shows that Warcraft really can be a combination RTS/RPG, and I don't doubt that there will soon be many player-generated scenarios like it.

Summary: Not as fun as II, but much better looking
Review: ... I also played the original Warcraft, ... Between the two, I would say Warcraft II beats III for its
Gameplay enjoyability, plot depth & interest, and the MUSIC!!! Warcraft III beats II as far as the game interface, the graphics, the reasonable challenge, the plot clarity, and the good sound effects. As far as the Cast Of Characters: Warcraft III has characters that are way more involved in the game and plot than before. however, none of them develop very much likeable personality. One of the heros basically turns undead and murders his father, which IMO was a violent anticlimactic moment. From that point onward all of the music is terrible and annoying. World editor ease of use: Warcraft II
World editor overall: Warcraft III ... However, WC III is an excellent game still, and there is no other game like it out there that I know of. Here is why I gave it 4 stars: GRAPHICS: A+
GAMEPLAY: B+
NTENSITY: B
PLOT/STORY: B-
MUSIC: D
SOUND FX, VOICE: A
