One of the greatest games ever, been playing it for a long time and still can't get sick of it. Bought again because I lost my serial number. Worth buying it.
Beware This game is too good!!!! 2007-11-21
Be aware this more just a game:
The single player version is a beautiful and very good strategy game with a superb story line. You don't want to stop playing when you started!
The scary part is online version: There are dozens of custom online games packed in this game and some of them are Extra addictive (Best example is Dota). I know many people who keep playing online version 2-3 "Days!" without sleeping!. This is not an exaggeration!
Bottom line: if you are a mature person buy this as this game as it is absolutely best strategy game made ever!
I do not recommend this game for kids, as without any doubt it's addictive side will cause a negative effect on their study ability.
Great Game 2007-10-25
This is my college game. but i was playing it on someone else's computer. i finaly bought it fir me because it's something i really want to have. it's the best. i haven't seen graphics in the new games better than this one. the new graphics only take a lot of memory on the video card, but this one work with an older one too, and the views, and everything else is awesome. colors too have a very good selection, over all it's a great game. yes, it's not new, it doesn't take a lot of resources but i don't thing there's gonna be a game that is going to impress me as much as this one.
Great RTS to start the 21st century 2007-09-27
Expectations were high when Blizzard announced that they were developing a sequel to Warcraft 2. As if that game wasn't popular enough, the last strategy game they made was the legendary Starcraft. Well, Blizzard didn't disappoint, with Warcraft 3 being one of the best in the recent batch of real-time strategy games.
Unlike Starcraft, Warcraft 3 is much more focused on battle tactics and unit control ("micro") rather than base and unit production management. The introduction of the heroes is a unique twist on RTS gameplay, with the result that Warcraft 3 doesn't really play like any other strategy game on the market.
The single-player campaign is incredibly well designed, and the hero mechanic is uniquely suited for this purpose. Blizzard starts to add tremendous variety to the missions in the expansion pack, with the result that the campaign, though lengthy, never gets monotonous. The art design and graphics are beautiful and vibrant, while keeping system requirements at a reasonable level (unlike many RTSes currently on the market).
The longevity of this product really lies in the multi-player, though. The automated matchmaking system on battle.net does a great job of matching you with players of similar skill, but there are also a tremendous number of custom made maps developed by players using the Warcraft 3 map editor ("Defense of the Ancients", or "DotA", being the most popular one). While this game is not as strategically deep as Starcraft, it is still a blast to play, and if you enjoy strategy games, you shouldn't pass up this one.
One of the best RTS/RPGs on the market 2008-07-06
Not only a great deal, this game has stood the test of time and is still enjoyable today. Play solo in campaign mode, multiplayer RTS classic mode, user created maps, mini games, tower defense, DOTA, castle defenders, and the list goes on!
If you like to command and conquer, this game is a must own.
Very fun game once you understand 2008-06-12
Warcraft 3 is another triumph for blizzard. The graphics great and the game play even better. A warning its not role-playing game this is a stratagy game. The concept of the game is to bulid you empire n=and dominate the map. This game is very very very fun. It will take 2 or so hourse for you to get the hang of thing but once the ball is rolling it wont stop. The online is extremely fun and the story mode is quite amazing. Just buy the game and if you dont like it then sell it. I love warcraft 3.
Amazing enthralling game series, 2008-06-07
Great game, awesome story which continues the amzing tale from warcraft & warcraft II: Tides Of Darkness. Great graphics, game play and new units. Great landscapes to battle upon and overall a very enjoyable gaming experience. Hope they make a pt.4 and re-release Warcraft and Warcraft II for OS X.
A must-have for all fans of RTS!! 2008-02-09
The 3D graphics look great. The game balance is absolutely flawless (typical Blizzard-style). I have yet to play a game from Blizzard that has disappointed me.
This Battle Chest comes with the original WW3 plus the Frozen Throne expansion (both strategy guides are included as well, which are basically just detailed walkthroughs for the single-player missions, so they're somewhat superfluous).
Just the single-player component of these two games is enormous!! (54 missions combined + an intro campaign + a secret mission + a bonus campaign). That's likely to be 35-50 hours of game time just in Single Player! There's also, of course, the world-renowned, Battle.net multiplayer part, too, so this game has essentially infinite replayability.
Compared to other RTS games, the single-player chapters are truly immersive. The missions are incredibly different and unique from one another, so you never feel that you're doing the same old thing over and over again. When you play a new race (4 total - each with a completely unique unit and building set, economy style, and feel), new and more powerful units are introduced gradually throughout the campaign, so you're constantly adapting your strategy and devising new and devious methods to crush the opponent with each mission!
Recent decent, wonderful backstory!

Any player of World of Warcraft should own this item or give it a shot simply because the entire explanation of how the World of Warcraft game got where it is. Why races sided with other races, where the hate and loathing comes from, and also explains the expansions for the game. The graphics and gameplay arent my favourite compared to other Warcraft/Starcraft titles, but the story is well worth it and there are worse strategy games out there.
