Advantages: Gorgeous Graphics, cinematics and storyline. Disadvantages: Extremely Addictive
Warcraft 3 continues the breathtaking story which began with its previous versions pulling the gamer into a fantastic world of sorcery and war.
A perfect sequel unlike most other sequels by others games, Blizzard has yet again achieved a masterpiece. A new Strategy game in its own right, construct a colony and thrash your opponents in any possible way. Warcraft is not only a Strategy game however, it belongs to the rare dual Strategy/Rpg games.

Little does he know that the Orcs are not the only danger to his people. An Army of the Undead are advancing led by a dreadlord called "Malganis" and are converting his people into vassels for the undead.

Advantages: great graphics, mesmerising scenery and very interesting and plausible storyline, that is very well realised. Many new and innovative game additions make this an involving game Disadvantages: can be rather addictive
...that big on computer games, Warcraft III is just another in a successful line of somewhat cheesy, but entertaining and thoroughly playable Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games from Blizzard. The first of these came out a good ten years ago, and was charmingly simple and completely addictive. The second Warcraft showed a marked improvement graphically, and much greater versatility in the game in terms of re-playability, with hordes of custom games and mapmaking ... ...those are quite mind-blowing in Warcraft 3), but relatively short cut scenes utilizing the game’s graphics engine that explain details about the storyline, and what the characters involved are up to. You can’t fast forward through them, which is sometimes an irritation, but for the first-time player (or, if you’re like me and played it a while but have forgotten everything) they’re very useful and explanatory.
The gist of Warcraft III is this: Demons ...

Advantages: Extremely well designed graphics and gameplay. Disadvantages: Humongously addictive
This by far has got to be one of the best games i have played "back in the day".
There are 4 sides in total that you can play. Orcs, humans, night elves and the undead. Im not going to explain the details of the storyline since i dont want to spoil it ;) but let me just say for the time it was set it certainly gives it the Lord of The Rings feel.
Humans:
They have swords and horsemen of course. But they also have elves at their side (no not night ... ...Orcs:
These are not orcs from Lord of the rings. These are green and are very strong, with teeth. Their not evil though, they have their beliefs and ways just like humans, their care about one another but due to their long history with humans they have been at war for a long long time.
Undead:
This is the evil side, its all about skeletons and spirits with this side, they are here to exterminate every living thing and corrupt the land to prepare ...

Warcraft 3: The Frozen throne is the next in the long series of Warcrafts (Warcraft 1, Warcraft 2: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos) So of course this serves as an add on to Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, but does it measure up? is the developer blizzards new child a genius or an abortion? lets wait and see...

Moving on from WarCraft 2 Blizzard have added two more playable races, the Night Elves, who are adept at move unseen during the night, and eliminating enemies from afar.

Advantages: Unique, Real time strategy, brilliant online gaming, good campaign Disadvantages: not so good 3D graphics
Warcraft III is a recent game (last 5th July 2002) released by Blizzard - the maker of such great games as the diablo series, starcraft and of course... the warcraft series.
There is an awful lot this game has to offer compared to its previous counterparts such as warcraft II and starcraft. The game itself is meant to be a strategy but the makers have made it role playing too... in a way. Just think Diablo meets Warcraft II and you're there.

Advantages: Rich gaming experience, extemely Addictive Disadvantages: Some races do not have adequate counters to certain strategies
When Blizzard released Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos to much hype on July 3rd, 2002, millions of eager gamers jittered and twitched in excitement.
They craved for the wasting of hundreds of hours in front of an illuminated computer screen in a dark room. A pasty sweat welling up on their forehead and a cramped arm from bazillions of mouse clicks (Did you know that Webster added bazillion this year?), they yearned for the discovery of new tactics to ... ...lived up to the hype. Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos (W3 from here on in) picks up where Warcraft 2 (W2) left off.
In this instalment of the Warcraft series, we are introduced to two completely new races in the form of the Night Elves, and the Undead. As in other Blizzard games, they have a fairly good job making all four races in this world similar in power, but completely unique in skills. This type of balance adds a wonderful dimension to a video ...

Advantages: Addictive strategy/role play game. Disadvantages: To addictive for your own good.
I was first hooked on Warcraft when I played Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness so like many others when I heard that a sequel was in production, anticipation overcame me.
Warcraft 3 did not disappoint. The story continues on well from the previous games but can be picked up easily by strangers to the world of Warcraft. The plot surrounds five different races four of which are playable.

The influence from Diablo is also visible in the plot as Heroes are introduced to Warcraft, these are powerful units that can advance in experience level, utilize additional skills and spells, and employ auras that affect nearby troops when leading them into battle. The mechanics of the game remain the same with very few changes to the controls ...

The cinematics are awesome, the storyline is great (and original) and gameplay is simple yet complicated.

The graphics of the game are great, the fact that a strategy game has come out in real 3D really shows what great developers ... ...points from warcraft 2 (such as some of the units/abilities eg: blizzard) are really cool, this gives you a feeling of familiarity to a game (something that all games need) and yet it does not make you say "yez, another game that’s exactly like its predecessor with only hyped up graphics" The reason im saying that familiarity is needed in a game is: how many of you picked up a game where you have never played that kind of game before, especially ...
