    It has one of the best scripts in the history of video games. It is also one of the best in the genre and inspired later games.

    Great graphics for the time, great character design, innovative, a masterpiece.

    july 3rd, 2002- january 28th, 2020. wc3 reforged has killed this masterpiece as they forced everyone that owned this game and who wanted to play online to download a 30 gb update and install wc3 reforged as blizzard took the lazy way out and just added a old graphics option and called it "classic"

    Perfect game with every angle, the story is a long and not that easy one to understand, need someone who can hold his thought, the graphics of the game at that time unique nothing like, and even now I bit if there's strategy game with similar colorful art. the network play is craft brain.

    It was great game, milestone in history of RTS and game industry in general. Epic story, awesome balance, great music, charismatic voice actors, careful design of units (i still love Night Elves ladies!). Sadly, Blizzard had to ruin it all, by creating you-know-what, so it's more like an epitaph from me, rather then review.

    Warcraft III is the third installment in the legendary Warcraft RTS series. It was released in 2002 and it made the WoW phenomenon possible. Very much so.

I still remember the first time I played this game. I was completely new to the Warcraft universe, but the fairytale like graphics, the fantastic music and the superb story grasped me immediately. Lets talk about the story a bit. It is just so well written, so well constructed. How the individual campaigns follow and compliment one another is amazing, it is never boring and always full of surprises. Just wow. The Arthas story arc alone, his descent towards evil, but for completely understandable reasons, that is really mature. It really plays very cleverly with the concept of the greater good and lesser evil. The orc story line is also fantastic, no matter how far the orcs will go, they can never truly escape the curse in their hearts. And then the Night Elf storyline, that ties is all together and gives it all a greater meaning. Just wow. But the story and the characters are not the only great aspects of this game. The graphics is really unique, mainly the colors, so fairytale like, so vibrant, I just love it. The music is brilliant, every race has a few very distinct tracks that you will never get tired of. Besides that, there is the multi-player. Four races, each very distinct and different and yet so well balanced. And then there is the battle net scene of the early 2000s. I have so many great memories of it, I have made so many friends there, eventually I joined a clan and later we transferred to WoW and started our own guild that lasted for over 15 years. And speaking of the W3 - WoW connection. I consider the Warcraft III to be an unprecedented outburst of creative genius. Just think about it. Even now, twenty years later, they are still reusing the same characters, storylines, neutral creatures, items etc. in WoW. Yes, that says a lot about the lack of invention in WoW, but it says equally enough about the superb quality of Warcraft III writing and ideas. But most important of all, there is the Warcraft atmosphere, the It factor, the illusive mistress that every game wants, but very few actually get it. I believe there is an alchemical element involved in the creation of any piece of art and because of it there is no guaranteed formula for success. But Warcraft III has got it. For me and for many others. This game certainly succeeded. Obviously no microtransactions and no SJW. Back in 2002 neither of these things even existed. Ah, what a world it was.

    Even now, twenty years later, I keep coming back to this game every two years or so. I know the campaigns through and through, every quest, every creep, every secret. But still I keep coming back and every time I have a great time. What higher praise I could possibly give this game? For a long time Warcraft III was my absolute favorite game of all times (then another W3 game came along, but that does not diminish the qualities of Warcraft III in the slightest) and it will remain in my heart forever.

    The crowning entry in one of the great RTS franchises of all time, and the greatest implementation of end-user custom game creation yet released, even nearly 20 years after the fact.

Y'know, I might attempt to locate said disc later tonight. It's unlikely Ill find it, but if I do then ill be enveloped in the pools of bliss and childlike nostalgia.

    My favorite game, I spent countless hours, playing camping as a kid, on the ladder, and playing with my friends in both custom maps and standard. Great game.

    I would like to apologise to Warcraft 3 for taking this long to finally go out and buy it. 3 years after it's release, I finally decided to give it a whirl. 3 years wasted...

    I think this game is amazing, and i was oretty reluctant to try it because i knew world of warcraft sucks and its for nerds, but i played it, and it was a fun game. I liked the graphics, even the game is about 6 years old, and it was just a great, well executed RTS.

    Whoever thinks this game is bad probably isn't very good at it. This game is AWESOME! Great sound, easy gameplay, An excellent Effort from Blizzard. The PRICE is the only thing that makes this a 9 and not a 10.

    This game brings out the best of RA: 2 and combines it with Age Of The Empires, then throws in awesome 3-D graphics. This game has it all, the sound, the control, the eye candy, and the slaying. If you like Strategy games this will be perfect for you.

    Awesome single player game! missions are done perfectly well. my only complaint is the multiplayer. the only people who can win are the ones that play 24/7.

    This is a great game. Just going into world editor, making my own world and fighting in it was enough to make me buy it, but there's so much more too. The single player story is good, and it's just a plain alll around good game. May lag if you dont have a good computer but is still rare.

    An excellent sequel to an excellent series. The only thing i wish is that you didn't have to go through blizzard in order to play online. I mean, if warcraft 4 comes out are they going to shut down the servers rendering the game unplayable online?

    As far as RTS games go, this one's top notch. It's different enough from Starcraft for me to want to play it, and the campaign is top notch. Of course the graphics have aged a bit, but it is years old at this point.

    Although generally I had no interests in RTS games, have to say warcraft III is kinda a game that even can get a role playing game fanatic like me into it.

Cast absolutely all doubt aside that Blizzard might have lost its touch in games like diablo 3 and the new world of warcraft expansions, Warcraft III is an absolute good game. This game is far from being an RPG, but The light amount of RPG elements infused in the game are so appropriate since you will be spending a great deal of each campaign story with a given character and you would like them to grow somewhat between missions while you are still forced to rebuild the rest of your base and those character focus story-telling through the campaign helped so much to build something really great to the end. Yet WAR III is essentially an online game, but I really do not find the online match that frustrated like starcraft, because other than building a base and army, the hero can be a very key role in the game match. Also in the game mod called DOTA, you can only play as just a hero to against each other which is really a very good online competitive experience.… Expand

    Ah, Warcraft III, one of the first games I played. This game has some quite interesting characters. The gameplay mechanics. The multiplayer is fun and varied as well. Soundtrack is pleasing and sound effects are good. The graphics for the time were nicely done. Overall, a nice, fun game.

    At the height of popularity of the RTS genre, Warcraft III delivered something so polished and complete that it could be the only videogame in your library at that time and you would still be considered a gamer.

ItAt the height of popularity of the RTS genre, Warcraft III delivered something so polished and complete that it could be the only videogame in your library at that time and you would still be considered a gamer. This game has something to hook almost every type of person. It was smaller issues, mostly relevant to competitive play, that kept Warcraft III away from it's perfection. It delivers in every other angle. There's story, there's design, there's music, there's even one of the most complete and powerful modding engines. Blizzard never planned this game to have a ending, and some are still playing it.… Expand

    La verdad que este juego ya tiene sus años,pero la verdad que se mantiene bien.
    La historia esta muy pero muy buena, los gráficos están buenos, la banda sonora bueno... no le preste mucha atención jaja
    pero la jugabilidad era el tipico juego de Rol, de la epoca donde construias tu "Ciudad" para crear tus unidades de batalla o recolector de materiales.

    Completely reinvented in glorious 3-D, WCIII spruces up the age-old premise—organize armies and send them into battle against opposing forces—with much-improved graphics and a new pyrotechnic spell-casting system.
