Four years after release, and Blizzard is still supporting this amazing title...anyone who wants to get into the Warcraf
I thought that this would be a regular strategy game (building an army and attacking and that's it), but I was really wrong. No, in this game, you actually build up your armies and create heroes, but it also acts as an RPG as well. All of the heroes have special abilities that can either heal, protect or destroy. Each hero gains more experience for every creature or enemy it kills. It really adds a new layer to the strategy game experience. Great gameplay overall.
Yes, this is a four year old game, and yes, you can judge the graphics all you want, but just think of this...it's basically a top-down view of World of Warcraft (just a little less sharp looking). The graphics are very cartoon and stylized, and it works perfectly (just like World of Warcraft graphics).
The sound in this game is absolutely stunning. Hear the chopping of trees, the digging of miners, and the pounding of builders in all their glory. Also, hear each different unit type respond with their very...unique ways. Nothing more to say except the music is pretty standard, but overall, the audio is great.
The fact that Blizzard is still fully supporting this game in both updates and online play and tournaments is absolutely great. No matter what time you are on, you will find someone to play with or against. Overall, the internet play is great (minus a few annoying "waiting for player" issues).
All in all, Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos is a great addition to the Warcraft strategy game universe. It is also a great introduction into the World of Warcraft universe. Be sure to check this out!
