- Has great gameplay to honorly contain the name "WARCRAFT"
- Warcraft is a big name and when a game comes out and has Warcraft in the name then it better be good it trust my it does a damn good job doing so.
The story mode is a great story mode. It introduces the new heros and units really well. The story is what really got my hooked on this expansion set.
The multiplayer is a lot different from Reign of Chaos. Some would say there isn't that much but I am a person that was hooked on multiplayer on Reign of Chaos(ROC) and after 2 weeks of playing this whole game changed cause of the timing of everything but when I play Frozen Throne(FT) the whole game is faster and you can call out the big units real fast so if you like this one just know the ROC is real different.
Verdict: 5.0 out of 5.0 But try not to get use to the ROC multiplayer cause then you will be like me that likes ROC more than FT. - 2005-12-18, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- a Nice edition after all
- the expansion was nice specially the story and new add-on's to the game(unites, building and magical abilities ,..etc). But I didn't enjoy the game that much because the game was running sluggish because of my computer....ahhhh....time for a new NVIDIA graphic card.
I recommend this pack to warcraft hordes. - 2005-10-13, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A top notch creation, as expected from Blizzard
- Blizzard is known for their million seller series of Starcraft, Diablo, and Warcraft.
If you never heard of Blizzard, then you must be out of PC gaming world. Their existence is that important.
So, like expected, Blizzard brought us another wonderful add-on to an already incredible game; and it's name is Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne.
This is a must-get for any RTS mania. It is so good that in fact, anyone that ever played any video game in his/her life needs to buy this. There is so much more than just plain old stragety to this game.
Campaign mode is just jaw-dropping good. The cinematics are way over the top of anything, especially when you acknowledge the fact that this game was released in the summer of 2002.
Already 3 years old but it doesn't seem like it because if you're a TFT player you know there are so many things to do with the game that you rarely get bored.
Aside from the world first class Campaign mode, there is the unbelievable map editor that comes with the game CD in which you get to not only edit existing maps by changing terrains, but start fresh new with an empty map and fill it with stuff, or use triggers to make custom games that exceed the popularity of most other RTS games....which is a real shame.
I mean, you would expect game makers to make games right after seeing so many people go kuckoo over Starcraft, but in 9 years there has never been a single RTS game that came nearly close to the greatness of Starcraft in my opinion. The closest though, however, should be Warcraft III.
As a conclusion, buy this game if you haven't. Absolute wonderfulness packed into 2 CDs of the original and the add-on. If you still need a reason to buy, just know that this is one of the very best in the RTS genre. So rarely do you get to buy a game like this... - 2005-08-19, 1 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- wholly addicting
- I think Blizzard is overly modest in labeling these programs as Expansion sets. I've been playing WarCraft since WC II and I felt that its expansion set, as that of WC III, are more like whole new editions of the game, so Frozen Throne should actually be WarCraft Five. Frozen Throne doesn't just add maps and characters, there has been a clear tweaking of the game. Everything builds a little faster, or maybe that's because I play mostly Human and have been winning more, so maybe Blizzard corrected some of the Race inequities from WC III. No longer does ever battle with a Night Elf end with my opponent rushing and destroying me in three minutes. But I digress. The main point I want to make is that Blizzard is totally committed to pleasing its fan base. The best example of that is the roster of Neutral Heroes. Owners Manual lists five, the game actually has eight, so they are constantly evolving the game. Just the other day, they released another bonus map online for Frozen Throne. Compare this generosity to what EA Sports does with the John Madden Football franchise, which is to fluff the feathers a little each year and ask you to buy the new edition whether it's new or not. WC III came out, what, almost five years ago and it's still fresh, thanks to the Expansion set and you don't have to ante up $50 each Xmas to keep playing an up-to-date game. PLUS, you play online for free? You just don't get that deal anywhere else.
