Description
Blizzard introduces a new concept in gaming: the RPS (Role-Playing Strategy) game. A strategy game set heavily within a role-playing environment, RPS takes the individual combat and interactive environments found in role-playing games and combines them within a competitive strategic environment. Warcraft III puts players in command of smaller, potent parties of heroes and troops. They adventure and do battle in a dynamic world of living towns, wandering monsters, characters and quests, while simultaneously devising strategies to defeat their enemies.
Features:
Features:
- Four different races to command including Orcs, Humans and Demons, each possessing unique units, magical abilities and weapons of war.
- Skeletal and skinning animation process allows infinite frames of animation resulting in true fluid movement of 3D models.
- Advanced world design tools allowing players to customize every aspect of the game including tile sets, character art, quests, mission objectives, and unit types, AI, attributes, special abilities and spells.
- Expanded multiplayer options over Battle.net including a larger number of players per game and multiple game types including team play and questing.

"Enjoyable"
I'm afraid to say that Warcraft 3 was not what I was expecting. I like my RTS's to have heaps of units and have lots of manoeuvring such as Cossacks, or even Starcraft.
Warcraft has a very small maximum unit limit. Also the heroes didn't really catch my attention. They overpowered every combat they were in and it became more of a who can get more Heroes to a battle then any form of real thinking. All other units became secondary to a great extent. The only real tactics that was used was in making sure that you had enough of unit type X to counter the enemies unit type Y. Other then that it was a bash their heads together kind of game.
I beat the game, but mainly because the story was strong and the cut scenes incredible, and I do mean incredible!!

"Great Game, Excellent Delivery Time"
No one has done the real-time strategy game better than Blizzard. The sales numbers and staggering amount of gamers on battle.net speak for themselves. Cases can be made for C&C, the Homeworld games, Dark Reign, and Ground Control but in the end there has only been one title that captures the hearts of so many gamers – Craft. Be it WarCraft or StarCraft, its fans are legion, rabid and completely loyal. Zerglings would be a good name for them, come to think of it.
"Great PC laptop game...And it works on a MAC too ...Bonus!!"
I got this and Frozen Throne expansion because of:
1. the price (about $16ea) and
2. I remembered enjoying it a decade ago and
3. the reviews for Frozen Throne expansion (which needs original game to run)
were impressive.
I didn't realise until it arrived that it includes the MAC versions on disc
too!!! Big BIG bonus for me as I've been looking for some games for my new 13"
macbook pro. This works really well at 1280×800
(TIP: make sure to enable “open using Rosetta” in the “Warcraft III.app”
show info pane – to view the cut scenes)
Its still a great game – very enjoyable with some funny momments
