Yes M'lord. 25/11/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Longetivity, fun, absorbing.
Disadvantages None really

You might ask why I am writing a review on a game/add on that is now over 4 years old, a virtual century in computer game production, especially when World of Warcraft has almost taken over the world in this genre. Well, firstly, because I am still playing it, as that in itself is a mark of a great game, that people are playing it for years. Secondly, because the cult players are still making maps and modifications for the game which means it stays fresh. What is it? For those that do not know it is a fantasy strategy game, an expansion pack to Warcraft 3, along the same lines as Command and ... more

There is no excuse not to own this game. 24/01/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Challenging, highly playable, good even for beginners, even experienced players will be delighted
Disadvantages Some would say short, however as an expansion it is one of the longest expansions sets I have seen

This expansion pack to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is a must get, for every player. Even if this is the first strategy game you have ever played, it will still satisfy your thirst for a good game. Although I could go on and talk about the graphics of this game, the sound, the storyline and such for a long time, I will instead focus mainly on the game and why it is as great as I claim. The first time I got this game I was quite skeptical, I had played previous versions of Warcraft, such as Warcraft II, and Warcraft (as well as their expansion sets) and I must say that at the time, my ... more

great add-on ever? 30/06/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages great story, level design, tweaks to the game, voice acting, graphics, and value for money
Disadvantages takes too long to complete, is very hard

Probably one of if not the best strategy game ever made released an add-on, yay! If Warcraft 3 wasn’t enough for you, then this amazing add-on prolongs the great story. Warcraft 3: For those of you who have never heard of Warcraft 3 or the Warcraft series. Its basically a typical isometric view strategy game with the basic micromanagement for mining gold and chopping wood. Then you use the supplies to train units and build buildings before you go show the opponents’ ass the business end of your shoe. There were four major races in W3 which were: Humans: who were probably the most ... more

Blizzard enjoys ascension to the throne 14/08/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages Well put together, excellent clarity
Disadvantages This game isn't meant to be enjoyed as such. It's meant to be played.

Mention Blizzard Entertainment to any hardcore computer gamer and you will most likely hear fond talk of Warcraft, Diablo or Starcraft. In the strategy and tactic gaming world, these titles are legendary. Armed only with the distant memories of my younger self frittering away the hours in front of a computer enclosed in a small, dank room, I decided to purchase Warcraft III – and was completely blown away. Unlike Microsoft’s Age of Empires, which got tiresome after a short while, Warcraft III reached out to me on an entirely different level. Complete with high calibre graphics, excellent ... more

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne - Good Offline, Great Online! 16/06/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Excellent multiplayer, Loads of variety, Great replayability.
Disadvantages Retro graphics, Internet required if you really want to reap the benefits of this game.

It's a classic game now, and many would call it 'retro'. The truth is, every time I log onto battlenet, Warcraft 3's in-game multiplayer service, I'm discovering a variety of new and fun games. Let's start with the singleplayer... personally, I found this fun for a while but kind of what I expected. Most levels involve building some kind of base responsible of producing units to go and destroy an enemy base, or achieve some given objective. These tend to vary quite considerably but the formula remains pretty much the same, but it keeps it interesting. I've not completed the singleplayer, and ... more

Adding 'More craft' to the war RPG genre. 13/10/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Forces you to employ more tactics into your gameplay than previous titles.
Disadvantages Dramatic increase in difficulty levels may overwhelm some players. No Orc campaign in main plot.

This is a marvellous melee, stranding together most of the unanswered questions that those playing Warcraft III Reign of Chaos may have. Such as what happened to Illidan, what other secrets this enigmatic world holds, and what has happened to the remnants of the burning legion. This follows the fallout of all undertakings of the Reign of Chaos title. In the night elf campaign, Maiev Shadowsong, former warden guarding Illidan's tomb, pursuing her vengeance to capture the demonic Illidan. Alas, he is not alone. A mysterious race called the Naga have been raised from the depths to fight by his ... more

Warcraft111: the Frozen Throne expansion set 17/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages lasts for ages and ages, very tactical, great fun and easy to use!
Disadvantages none that i can think of, its perfect!

This expansion set to Warcraft: reign of Chaos has everything for a long, fun, durable game. It has one of the longest storylines in any RPG (role-playing game) on the computer known to existance, with a very good online play feature. there are 4 main races: human, undead, night elf and orc. these are the main races you play as, but in the storyline, you get a chance to see and use different races, such as blood elves, draeni and naga (if you are a fan of world of warcraft, you would know that the blood elf and draeni races have been added on the expansion, world of warcraft: the burning ... more

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Expansion (PC) 03/08/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Great Online Play/Features; Indepth Campaign; Unique Races; Challenging.
Disadvantages Hackers; Occasional Lag; Repetive at Points.

I bought this game about two years ago when it shortly after I bought the original, "Warcraft III: Reign of Chao". Since then it has been a hit success and byfar the best game in my collection. Though the game is considered RTS, real time stratagy, I think it would fill most catagories including: tower defence, mmorpg, third person shooter. It also helped me immensly in understanding the game World of Warcraft. The games campaign covers all four unique races and is very indepth. Though in my opinion some missons seem repetive most are fun and challenging. Each mission also has a variety of ... more
