Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: Very Very nice graphics! Very good choice of heros to play as and a good range of attacks. You can make your own maps and have poeple fight on it with you and against you. You can create dif types!

Weakness: only bad thing is is when you get a pop-up u can't click anywhere and u have to exit the pop-up to continue the game. While on the pop-up it says you lag and after 50 seconds poeple can chose to boot.

VERY NICE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! I Recomend this product to anyone that likes rpg, fighting, and strategy games. You can do a lot on it and very cheap for this kind of game.

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: **Hero Upgrade/Inventories **4 Clan diversity (much like StarCraft) **Great in game colors, great video's and story line.

Weakness: **Looks very similar to the engine from Battle Realms. Has the same game play, this game would have been awsomely impresive if it had come out a little sooner.

Hero upgrades can turn a battle as they can be equiped with 6 inventory items. Including health, and mana potions, srolls of skills, and tombs that permantly upgrande your hero. 3 hero's per face, quite cool. The 4 differant races are totaly differant, you remember the zerg creep, or the protoss warping of building, and how they were unique, well WC3 does the same, making the game totally cool. I...

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: excellent story-line, great graphics, interesting heroes and characters

Weakness: typical Warcraft game-play, point and click repetitive scenarios and objectives

Over all it's a good game. It's not at the top of my list but it's defiantly worth having and playing. This game has many memorable moments.

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: Sound is terrific. Extreme attention to detail. Great multiplayer. Decent single player (even though its predictable). Battle.net version is easy to use and promotes teamwork.

Weakness: Graphics are a little dated, and engine is a bit laggy for low end machines. Not as much depth as StarCraft but still an improvement.

The game is fun. Often we judge a game too much be how much ground breaking material it has or how many new graphical improvements or technical advancement it makes compared to other games but sometimes a game can make up for all of that just by shear addictiveness and that is exactly what WarCraft III does to you. Even though the single player doesn't pull you in too much the multiplayer does....

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: the vector graphics are amazing as are the colors

Weakness: AI is kinds sketchy at points

the game is spectacular, my friend snagged a copy of it from a "friend" and we have played almost the entire time since we received it. The multiplayer is kicka55, and the gameplay is full 3D motion. I have a set of klipsch 5.1 and the sound that this game puts off is wet your pants good, sets u right in the game. and the animation and colors in the game are amazing, extremely vibrant and...

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: Good Graphics, Interactive Terrain, a blast to play multiplayer.

Weakness: No random map (I understand why), the worst ending to a game ever created by the likes of man

Graphics are great even on low end machines (at a sacrifice of beauty). I tested this game out on a 11mb video card machine and still it looks almost as good as my Nvidia Geforce 4 Titanium. The game is literally lagless with 128 megs of ram (tested on same machine with sucky video card). Not to mention all but 1 or 2 multiplayer games have maps created by users being played, some are a blast,...

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: Great Graphics, Good hero system, 4 balanced teams, Challenge on Battle.net

Weakness: Repetitves sounds aknowlegement (like almost every RTS). Maybe too difficult for people who are new in the genre. The guys who stole my Cd-Key...

I played since the game went on shelves and I must say that Blizzard did another good job. The Upkeep is a new system created to limit units and is not a weaknesses in self but I don't like that. Same thing for the 90 units max; it make the game almost only axed on Heros and not on strategic epic battles that we got in Warcraft II. The single player campaign is addictive but certain dialogues are...

Blizzard WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos

Strengths: Everything. Graphics, Multiplayer Online gaming for FREE, Single Player Campaigns, Ranking Ladder, Diverse races with heroes that yield their own unique abilities.

Weakness: The way b.net matches up gamers in online play. (e.g. A very experienced Level 28 many times can be found playing against a not so experienced level 5 in solo play.)

I highly recommend this game to anyone who has not yet had a chance to play it, from the moment I put this game onto my computer I couldn't keep from clicking all the way through the Single Player Campaign. If you like Starcraft, or, Command & Conquer, you'll absolutely love Warcraft III. Also recommended: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos

If you play just about any other real-time strategy game for a few hours, you'll quickly realize that the 'strategy' is typically comprised of building up a huge wave of troops to simply overwhelm your enemy through sheer weight of numbers. While that was once considered to be an ideal strategy, it's been shown to be not as effective as it once was. Also, watching it be executed in a game gets...

WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos

“Heroes arise to challenge fate and lead their brethren to battle.” Thus begins the introduction to the real-time strategy game, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. An elaborate cutscene sets the tone and draws players into the realm of returning evil and the struggle for two races to move forward, to forsake a homeland and pursue a final stand in a far-away land. While this is a nice premise,...

Warcraft III ReignChaos

So WarCraft III has apparently already pre-sold some ungodly number of copies at this point, so it seems almost beyond the realm of my capacity to have any affect on whether or not most of you will buy the game or not. Regardless, it's my job and I'm opinionated so you all get to read it nonetheless. However, unlike any past reviews I may or may not have done regarding other Blizzard titles, this...

Warcraft III ReignChaos

When I decided to tackle Warcraft III, I had high expectations. Blizzard's real-time strategy games -- Warcraft and Starcraft -- have always set a standard by which other companies can only hope to aspire. Granted, these games may take a bit longer than usual to develop, but Blizzard's products have always been stronger because of it. Warcraft III is no exception.
