 - Great GameThis is my college game. but i was playing it on someone else's computer. i finaly bought it fir me because it's something i really want to have. it's the best. i haven't seen graphics in the new games better than this one. the new graphics only take a lot of memory on the video card, but this one work with an older one too, and the views, and everything else is awesome. colors too have a very good selection, over all it's a great game. yes, it's not new, it doesn't take a lot of resources but i don't thing there's gonna be a game that is going to impress me as much as this one. Rating: - Great RTS to start the 21st centuryExpectations were high when Blizzard announced that they were developing a sequel to Warcraft 2. As if that game wasn't popular enough, the last strategy game they made was the legendary Starcraft. Well, Blizzard didn't disappoint, with Warcraft 3 being one of the best in the recent batch of real-time strategy games. Unlike Starcraft, Warcraft 3 is much more focused on battle tactics and unit control ("micro") rather than base and unit production management. The introduction of the heroes is a unique twist on RTS gameplay, with the result that Warcraft 3 doesn't really play like any other strategy game on the market. The single-player campaign is incredibly well designed, and the hero mechanic is uniquely suited for this purpose. Blizzard starts to add tremendous variety to the missions in the expansion pack, with the result that the campaign, though lengthy, never gets monotonous. The art design and graphics are beautiful and vibrant, while keeping system requirements at a reasonable level (unlike many RTSes currently on the market). The longevity of this product really lies in the multi-player, though. The automated matchmaking system on battle.net does a great job of matching you with players of similar skill, but there are also a tremendous number of custom made maps developed by players using the Warcraft 3 map editor ("Defense of the Ancients", or "DotA", being the most popular one). While this game is not as strategically deep as Starcraft, it is still a blast to play, and if you enjoy strategy games, you shouldn't pass up this one. Rating:  - Hours of Orc Fun!Warcraft III will keep you engaged for hours. I had a great time playing this game. Every campaign poses a unique challenge. If you prefer more complexity in managing your populace, I would recommend the Lords of the Realm series of games. Rating: - !!!WOW!!!Single Player..CHECK Multi Player...CHECK Endless Online Play for free with a a deidcated mod community...CHECK! I love Blizzard! Yes I am a fanboy, but only because they do pcgaming right! I have played WC3 FT for over 3years, with no end in sight (well Stracraft2 may dethrone it). Initially I played the single player game and its gameplay, story, images, effects were amazing. After a while a friend of mine invited me to battle.net within WC3 to battle online. That's where all the trouble started :o) There are hundreds of games online for free with a huge player base if you want to multi play the classic Warcraft build town, send troops, creep game. This was fun for a while and I mastered what I could. Then I discovered the custom maps. DoTA, Line Towewr wars, Rosk, Line Hero wars, TEch wars...endless mods all for free each with a play anytime community. I haven't ever had to wait that long for a game that I wanted to play. Get this game, not only for the single player but for the endless online play that will rock your socks! Well I am off to DoTA! Rating: - Great GameFrozen Throne is a great expansion to a great strategy based game. Only problem I had with this game is that I wasn't able to play a custom game online with my friend. Other than that the online play is good and the campaign mode is great fun.
