| Ok, well I bought this warcraft war chest because 24-7 World of Warcraft (minus the 8 painful hours of maintenance on Tuesdays) just isnt enough. I actually played this game years ago, before WOW came onto the scene (and from what I can tell pretty much killed the PC gaming market). It is still great fun, very smart, and if you are a WOW addict gives you some nice back story and a way to get up close and personal with the various WOW bosses. If not, it is a great blizzard RTS (real time strategy -- I think this is the category this game falls into anyway). And if you are waiting for Starcraft 2, this will entertain you during your wait (or during the 8 hours of WOW maintenance on Tuesdays!) |

| Video game technology may have progressed in the last 6 years, but fun is still fun. This game set the bar back then and continues to entertain today. Plus, you don't have to worry about whether or not your computer can handle it! Just set all the graphics settings to "11" and off you go. The strategy guides are useful and compact, easy to have at hand while playing. Still a great game. |

| I have an intel imac and this game works great on my imac. I am playing humans and already reached many levels. This game is much better to me since I couldn't play Starcraft on my imac and had to return the product through Amazon. When I have mac os x and Starcraft didn't work, just didn't make sense. Anyhow, this game is great and I am actually following the storylines. |

Let me just summarize my review to those of you who would rather not skim through paragraphs of text: Warcraft III is one of the greatest games ever made, and I feel honored to have spent YEARS playing it! Oh, and yes, I still play it constantly to this very day.
There's so many reasons to buy such an amazing game like Warcraft III. The campaign is deep, well-written, and the voice talent is just superb. Not only do you guide amazing and iconic characters through an intricately woven plot, but you quickly feel empathy for them as you continue to play. On top of that, the musical score is perfectly fitting! It's both epic and , honestly, hard to get out of your head once you've played the game a good while. The campaign mode is like a roller coaster ride. It starts off nice and easy for beginners, slowly coasting you to the peak of the event.. Before long, you're launched into the game proper. At this point, you'll begin to encounter challenges that are scaled perfectly to how well the game has trained you to be. The further in you get, the less the game helps you along - for some games that can be a major stumbling block, but Blizzard has mastered the art of gradual immersion... Okay, I should move on before I lose sight of the rest of the game!
Now on to the multiplayer! Long story short, it's incredible. The multiplayer experience works flawlessly, with balanced races and very diverse heroes to choose from. In addition, the expansion - as well as a patch update to the game - adds more heroes to the group. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention! Blizzard's staff has put together some truly extraordinary patches that further balance the game, as well as add more to it! Okay, back to multiplayer. Essentially there's two modes you can play in: local area network and Battle.net, the free online play service provided by Blizzard. In addition, Blizzard includes a Map Editor with the game installation. This editor feature is so deep and varied, the possibilities are endless. In fact, I've played thousands of different maps made by users on Battle.net! So, in summary, you can either play the amazing RTS experience against strangers, friends, or computer AI, or you can explore the vast expanse of custom-made maps online!
The last thing I'd like to add is a note on modification. Blizzard, being the open-minded and generous folks that they are, allow their users to make custom heroes, add custom skins and models, and even write their own coding for triggers! This further deepens the ability to do literally anything. In the mood to play a futuristic zombie survival map, but you want to play as a space marine? Sure thing! Are you looking to play a game in which teams of powerful heroes duke it out for supremacy? Those games and many more await you on Battle.net! All you have to do is order the game and enjoy!
My apologies to those of you who were at all bored during that lengthy review, but as you can tell there's so much to talk about! Warcraft III will always hold a special place in my heart, and I honestly believe I'll still play it for years and years to come. Blizzard Entertainment, thank you for once again providing the gaming industry with a diamond for all to cherish and enjoy. |
