 Addictive Game November 14, 2005
At the beginning of the game, it was hooked. I enjoy the game so much, I am going to purchase World of Warcraft because of WCIII:Reging of Chaos. If you are a big strategy game fanatic, then you would love this game. I would give this game a 5 stars for graphics and real time strategy. I would recommend this game to anyone. Keep up the good work of future war craft III.br /br /Addicted

A wonderful strategy game to revolutionize computer gaming. June 3, 2003

I purchased this game, Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos on July 3rd, the day it was released. I expected it to be wonderful like other Blizzard games, however I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail that Blizzard has put into it. If you are new to the World of Warcraft, the game is about a medieval-themed fantasy world in which several races exist battling for domination. The game-play is that of a real-time strategy game, one has to think quickly and in advance to slaughter the competition. This game appeals to a large age group, however is generally geared toward players from their teens up. (due to some animated violence and the complex thought involved in playing). Warcraft III has two main elements, a rich, bold, and exciting single player campaign filled with an intricate plot and stunning cinematics as well as a free online multi-player strategy network second to none. The highlight, in my opinion is the online aspect of Warcraft III, dubbed Battle.net which accurately describes the premise of the online gameplay. On Battle.net there are also several types of games to choose from, single player melee games (facing anonymous players world-wide), multiplayer team games (fighting exciting battles with friends) and custom games. (In the custom games the sky is the limit, there is such a plethora of diversity among custom game types that one could play forever.) Many games have exciting action and enjoyable gameplay, however Warcraft III is unique in the computer-gaming world, it has a tremendous replay value, it is hard (at least for me and all the players I know) to ever stop playing. The online element of Warcraft III is a secure, anonymous network in which the player creates a special alias to play warcraft, this protects the computer of the user as well as the user's privacy. As I mentioned earlier, there are different races involved in the wonder of Warcraft III. Four Unique Races armed with distinctive units, magical abilities, and weapons of war face each other in brutal and extremely fun combat. Each race is carefully balanced to have equal advantages and disadvantages when playing other adversaries. In addition, the 3D engine is wonderful, it shows a vivid, third-person vantage point which looks marvelous. Unlike some similar games, Warcraft III does not require a supercomputer to run, although it does look better with a good video card. The requirements are as follows:p-- 400 MHz Pentium II or equivalent br-- 128 MB of RAM br-- 8 MB 3D video card (TNT, i810, Voodoo 3, Rage 128 equivalent or better) with DirectX 8.1 support br-- 700 MB HD space br-- 4X CD-ROM drive pSomething I neglected to mention is the awesome map editor included with Warcraft III. The feature-packed editor allows the users to create their own adventures and games to play solo or online with friends. Blizzard entertainment also provides excellent customer support, should the need for it ever arise from such a well-designed game. So all-in-all, Warcraft III is a genre-defining game. With it's stunning graphics, never-ending gameplay, fast-paced strategy, and unique theme, it is a must-have for avid gamers or computer newcomers alike. Have fun! :-D

Blizzard made it. That usually means quality. Warcraft III is no change from this tradition. While similar to the earlier Warcrafts and Starcraft, this game finds ways to be unique. The game uses a smaller number of units than Starcraft, so picking which units to build is more important. With upkeep and autocasting to consider, it is often better to go with smaller, stronger armies. I like the hero system, even if it is weird to use the hero units offensively without fear of losing the mission. A great game, but I'll still be playing Starcraft from time to time.
