Customer Reviews

chocked full o goodness
This game is an amazing game, the storyline for the campaign is extremely well written and the graphics tho aged still look good.
There are too many good things about this for me too go into detail but with the ability to control the speed of the game it makes building bases fast and combat easy to control and there are lots of different units with lots of different abilities, so you build up a team of mixed units, not just 20 of the strongest guy (like most RTS games)It also has an easy to use map editor.

In all, this game is great and worth buying.

Simply enjoyable
I must admit I am not a fan of base-building strategy type games but once I got into this (which didn't take too long, the controls are quite intuitive), I found it one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. While all the different kingdoms are fairly similar there is sufficient variation to make them all interesting in their own right (my favourite being the Undead). Close scrutiny of the graphics is not a good idea as the characters can be a bit triangulated but as an overview it all comes together and is also very colourful.
Great game and available as a bargain.

Gameplay over Graphics
Starcraft, an ancient game with graphics that look like they belong on papyrus, is still popular because it's finely balanced and the gameplay is still amazing. Pretty visuals can't mask a poor game. Dawn of War and the Winter Assault expansion are full of imbalances, and can be incredibly frustrating at times.

But Warcraft 3 is finely tuned in every sense, and Blizzard's battle.net ensures it has one of the best online communities of any RTS. It deserves all the praise lavished on it, and there are plenty of reviews that do a much better job of extolling it's virtues than I can.
