As a huge fan of RTS and the Warcraft series, I have to say that this is one of my favorite games of all time. The game features four races, Orc, Human, Night Elf*, and Undead*, a huge step up from two races as were in Warcraft II. Each race has their own special advantages and disadvantages, making the strategy more sophisticated than ever. Having four completely different races also creates for engaging online and multiplayer play, requiring you and your teammates to work out a plan that will cover all of your vulnerabilities. Multiplayer also features custom games that you can create using the World Editor, Warcraft’s map-making tool. Many times these player created games can be the lots of fun, and I have seen many games ranging from Lord of The Rings, to Pokemon on these, but though they’re fun, the game you bought is the game you will play. It is not overly complex, and allows you to control easily, while still focusing the game on the strategic aspect of how you make and upgrade your units, so unlike in some games where you can just pump out units, this game requires you to work as a team with fellow players, or focus on certain strategies if your playing alone. The single player mode allows you to go on various quests taking turns as the different races and doing a set amount of missions so you can complete your entire journey, and start as quest as a new race. Though the single player is good, I would say the multiplayer is really what separates Warcraft III from other games. This is a must have game, and will instantly make you a fan of Real Time Strategies and the Warcraft series. Go out and buy this game that you will come back to time and time again.
*New Race, not in previous Warcraft Games.
