WarCraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal

aka: WarCraft II: Além do Portal Escuro
Moby ID: 1377

DOS version

Fight the Orks in their homeland!

The Good
There are new cutscenes, missions and hero units. Additionally, there is a completely new territory: the Orks' homeworld itself, Draenor. As usual, the background story is worked out in detail, in the game manual as in the cutscenes and mission briefings.

The Bad
There could have been some new units - not only new heroes. And what I truly did not like was the way the mission briefings were used to narrate the story - in the original game, the briefings just served to, uhm, brief about the mission, so it sounded somewhat strange to me to have them used in that way.

The Bottom Line
A well done add-on that leads through the Dark Portal into the reddish homeworld of the Orks. If you see this planet, you can understand why the Orks are bad tempered...
