THE GOOD: - Continued. - The Gameplay. - One Extra Heroe for each race. - Neutral Heroes for hire. - Two new races: Blood Elves and The Nagas. - More maps and better graphics. - Best played Online. - Online Ranking System. - New Abilities, New Upgrades, New Structures, New Items.
THE BAD: - None.
SUMMARY: This game is worth getting and can get addicted. If you have played StarCraft, then you would definitly like this game. It is much better and has better gameplay value. This game has been a big seller of the century for Blizzard. More than 300,000 copies has been sold out. If you buy the game now, then buy the Warcraft III: Battle Chest. It includes the Reign of Chaos Strategy Guide and The Frozen Throne Strategy Guide. It is a total of $40. If you buy the two games seperately, I assure you it won't include the two Strategy Guides for the games. It would also cost $50. And because of this, you would definitly buy this...
THE GOOD: - More Units - More Heroes - Continuation of Storyline - Online Avatars and Ranking System
THE BAD: - ...None?
SUMMARY: WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos was a big seller for Blizzard in the 21st century. With over a million copies sold and over 300,000 people online daily; WarCraft III has proven to be a worthy advisary for online RTS games, especially the newly released "Rome: Total War".
Frozen Throne picks up where Reign of Chaos left off. Arthas is now King of the Scourge and has gone into exile to claim the throne of Lordaeron, the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elves all go their seperate ways and defeat any remaining demon resistance. The Orcs, tired of fighting, begin to set up their own home on Kailmdor, which Thrall proudly names Durotar in honor of his heroic father.
Frozen Throne also expands in the multiplayer department. Four new heores, the Undead Crypt Lord, the Human Blood Mage, the Night Elf...
Before we get into this, I should mention that I am in the ''StarCraft is better then WarCraft'' group... that matters to some people. That having been said, The Frozen Throne is probably worth your money.
Gameplay 8/10
The gameplay is VASTLY cleaned up with The Frozen Throne. I find custom games fast and rather difficult to play. I really don't want to have to learn a new play style, but that's me, and I do enjoy the single player games. I think WarIII has a great single player game. Improvements include bars that indicate to the player how many workers are in a mine, people are in a ship (yes! There are boats now!) etc. It makes things much easier.
A player can now stack upgrade builds, very handy but of course you cant try to build a level one and level two upgrade at the same time and then cancel the level one upgrade so blah ;P When upgrades finish, the game tells you which upgrade was completed as well, which is VERY nice as now if you have multiple...
THE GOOD: great graphics for a computer game. great sound effects, and tons of extra stuff. allows you to choose from 4 races or randomly.
THE BAD: sometimes freezes (no pun intended!!!!!!!!!)
SUMMARY: this is not you basic war strategy game. it's better! this actually tkae place in the past. you get to choose from 4 races. which are: elves, orcs, human, and the undead scourge, which i will explian in a minute. okay, what what make this game different fromit's predisscessor is not much, but i can say that you have tons of new fighting environments and at least 5 new troops for each race. and don't even think abotu using LAN, i mean come on, i'm not going to all that trouble. but, you do want to get this game, because it is very addictive and is worth every MB. i mean, penny. (if you only pay in pennies) i recommend it for RPG fans, fantasy/medival fans, and sadistic voilence lovers(not unlike yours truly, i might add). i gave it 4.7 because of...
THE GOOD: NIGHT ELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mountain Giants!!!!!! Warden!!!!!!!!!!! Orb of Venom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pandaren Brewmaster!!!!!!!!!! Naga!!!!!!!! Demonized Illidan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BAD: Pit lord, why did you bring a full on demon in and ruin the game? WHY???????????????????????? and the Undead!!!!!!!!!!!UNDEAD SUCK! and the end cutscene thing where Arthas and Illidan fight.
SUMMARY: This is the bestest game out there with the words War, Craft, The, Frozen, Throne in it. The campaign is set very nice like to ease players into it, but then ramping up in difficulty to keep players on their toes. The plot is superb, the twists and turns, very nice. The races give the game an extrodinary color and depth that not many gams have. Each race has its own distinct "color" and mode of fighting, and is each focused on a different just plain way to win. The courageous humans are focused on ice and fire magics, while neither...
THE GOOD: good story line excellent charracters super races good maps hero's and the buildings of the races
THE BAD: can't think of any
SUMMARY: excellent game i played and played none stop for 3 weeks (i am serious) no way of getting bored with it GREAT SEQUIL BUY IT BUY IT hardly anything bad about it but i can't think of any the orcs are actually the heros of this (weird right)
but there are 4 races
elves humans orcs and undead
each with amazing units couldn't ask for a better game for my birthday
there are very good map designers on battle net and then there are the clans i am in one myself and the maps were big huge and then u would have to level up your hero and then they would have skills i like the orc hero's the best the sword master really excellent
THE GOOD: -Heightened upkeep = yey -Lots of B-net updates (comes with Classic patch too) -Good continuation of Campaign
THE BAD: -Balancing issues.. In my opinion -Obliged somewhat to buy it.
SUMMARY: In terms of Blizzard add-ons this offers pretty much the same as Brood War did to Starcraft, a few new units for each race and the continuation of the campaign. However, this adds a LOT of factors to the game and shouldn't be underrated, besides that fact, most people will upgrade anyway so you'll be obliged to buy it (!!Blizzard conspiracy!!).
It is worth the money however, and they added a lot of new features to Warcraft's B-net interface which is nice, and the campaign continuation was worth the money as well. For any Warcraft 3 fan it's a must have, don't expect too many changes from the original style of play though.
Refer back to my Warcraft 3 doc for a full review of the game.
THE GOOD: New Heros
New Units
New Buildings
New Items
New Races
New Game Engine
THE BAD: Kinda crappy pathfinding
SUMMARY: I'm an old Warcraft vet and I still play the original evry now and again (pixels...he he) and this is awesome. I didn't even bother with the second one because well I just got boerd of humans and orcs over and over again. But Undead and Nighght Elves (Naga too?) just adds so much more variety. Heros are also a great addition. being able to upgrade a unit through battle is sooo cool. They are also one of the best ways to lead your armies to victory. I love the senario level War Chasers, I sware it's the best for battle net battles. Also one of my favorite things is the humor in the game. click any character a few times and thew will begin to shoot out one liners with eac new click(See title). If you don't get this game I pity you...
THE BAD: Since when has Blizzard always been so serious :/Not enough wonderful cutscenes we know and love.
SUMMARY: I say gooooooooooooooood.
Really now, while many expansions of late havent lived up to what an expansion is supposed to be. WarCraft3: The Frozen Throne, fits the ticket. While there are some crusaders who'd complain about there not being any new races. You do have to consider all that has been put into this game.
Hell, we have to consider how near perfect the orginal was. I had no complaints. I have none here. Each race receives an item shop, filled with its basic potions, along with a few race unqiue items and an orb. The Undead get a non-graveyard required tower that can slow units. Each race also gets about 3 new upgrades. Some of which benifit the new units they recieve. While the new units are nothing essential. Each one makes an excellent support...
THE GOOD: -Excellent Story -Improved gameplay even from Original WCIII -Possibilities for huge numbers of new strategies thanks to great new units
THE BAD: -A little thin on the beautiful Blizzard cutscenes.
SUMMARY: Wow. Just. Wow.
No, not world of warcraft, you. I mean what WOW meant before news of that game leaked out.
The Frozen Throne is AMAZING, nearly everything you could want from an expansion, good even by Blizzard's own exemplary expansion pack standards, more than worth the price of admission to get the new units, new campaign, new tools, new map editing functions, new strategies, new hero items, new everything. I don't like sounding like a Fanboy a lot of the time, but here it's more than justified. I only wish I could drive to Irvine and give the Blizzard guys a hug or something..
Infact, the ONLY thing that I find MILDLY LESS THAN OUTSTANDING is the lack of more than a starting and...
