- Lacking in every Way...
- The story was predictable. The playablility was weak. The challenge was even worse. This is a build, run and kill. No thinking, no planning and no role playing. What kind of game was this? It was a way for us to interact in a VERY limited way with someones attempt at a story line. The only thing I liked was the way the heros were run.

- Not all that great...
- I liked Starcraft a lot, so when Warcraft 3 came out i decided to try it out. I was kinda disappointed.
1) The 3D graphics and engine that were supposed to be awesome really aren't...they're average...but not great as touted. This game is only a bit more 3D than Starcraft.
2) The overall look of this game is not what Warcraft is suppossed to look, i.e dark, gothic, and semi-realistic. Lets face it guys, the actual gameplay in this game looks like a CARTOON!
3) The hero system extremely messes up the game. Pump up all the heroes you can grab, plus a few more units, and go on a rampage that requires no skill at all.
4) Price.However, if you ignore (if its possible) the stuff listed above and by others, Warcraft3 is an average game, and Blizzard might even get around to balancing things. Blizzard is a pretty much trustworthy game producer, and I have never had a problem with them.

- Best Game Ever
- This game is the best ever. I have spent hours playing but cheated a little with the cheat codes. I'm so glad I bought the Collector's Edition it really worth what i paid for. All the things it comes with are so amazing. I really liked the 4 pictures that appear on the regular boxes. Especially the DVD with all the Warcraft III cinematics now that is really cool.

- What other game is as great.
- There is no better game, it is the best game ever. Not many even come close to what this game is, it is the best game to ever come out on anything. There are alot of very good games out there like GTA3, the Final Fantasy games, Civilization games, Medal of Honer, Wolfinstien, and so on nothing is better than it. Blizzard has done a great job with every game it has ever made. It has only made seven games over the last decade, but each has been a number one seller and all have been called great. But this is the best yet from Blizzard and the best game to come out as of date and for a long time to come. If you never buy a game again get this. Many to people in the computer industry think that this game will be the number one in selling for over a year and a half. Warcraft 3 sold one million games faster than any computer game ever, it was 17 days when it hit the one million mark. The game to hold it before that was Diablo: Lord of Destruction 22 days also make by Blizzard.

- [Draining] your life away
- I was able to play the beta three months prior to its release and it was everything that I hoped and more. As Starcraft was the evolution from Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3 is indeed the brain child of Starcraft.
That said let me get down to brass taxes here and show why this game is the God and ruler of online gaming. Before you even get to the game itself there is the revamped battle-net which essentially removed the option for those ally happy fools that ruined the value of a record in Starcraft. As an addoption of Ladder (first seen in SC) the Play Game option is an impressive means to rank yourself, and your friends against other players, playing increasingly harder opponents (an attempt to eliminate newbie bashing). With in each profile there is a bevy of information about the player's record for each race and with different team groupings which over-all gives a very good representation of how good a player is.
Now that the logistics are over I can get down to the real reason War 3 kicks so much tail. Graphics, units, creep (nuetral units), upgrades to name a few, all of which equals replay, replay, replay.
Each race has three very different heros, a mage, a melee and a unit that is an inbetweener. The hero is the single largest change and subsequently the most valuable unit in the game.
As the hero kills opponents, uses spells or even does something crafty he gains levels. At each level you are allowed to put a point into one of three different spells with the treat of a "super" spell after achieving level six.
In addition to new units, new upgrades there are also new shops. which when coupled with a revivable hero who can in fact buy and use items make a very interesting combination. There are protection and health spells, health and mana potions, and all manner of different nick nacks that can make things interesting. Before I forget there is one item that every hero starts with is a scroll of town portal which is really exciting in that it will take your hero and up to twelve units instantly to any of your or your allies main keeps essentially to zap to the rescue.
Well I could go on and on but I think the game speaks for itself so I say run out and buy it. My only word of caution is BE PREPARED TO GET THUMPED!! GL HF happy gaming - 2002-07-30, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
