WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos

The Good
Let me get straight to the point......without the custom game included in multiplayer, this game would truly blow. The thought of creating your own mini game for everyone to play on battlenet gives you lots of options. There are so many different custom games you can choose from, that by the time you get sick of one, a new one is added to the list. These mini games range from hero arenas, (where you pick a character and go around killing everyone else), to tower defense (where you constantly build towers to defeat hordes of monsters running across a wide range area). This feature was also included in "Starcraft",also made by blizzard, but is clearly more addictive and entertaining.

The heroes for each race are a nice addition to the single and multiplayer.

This game's graphics are the best I've seen in 3rd person rpg's

The Bad
Don't be fooled by the regular gameplay offered in WC3. It personally scared me away from playing this game. It is by all means disappointing that you have such a reduced limit of units. To me the whole idea is that you have a large army to rape all of your enemies (not literally). By the time you build up your army It seems like you only have 5 piece of crap units that scratch their ass every time you tell them to do something. I dont know why blizzard ruined what was so fun in games like "Starcraft".

Overall, the single player is fun, but i still have some complaints. The story line is predictable and rather stupid (maybe I dont appreciate the story as much, because I have'nt played WC1 or WC2); the cinematics are detailed and realistic, but were a little boring to watch; and even though each mission is unique, it gets very repetitive and the game forces you to work with races that you might find boring.....cough, cough {humans}

Don't let the gameplay of this game distract you from the real fun

The Bottom Line
Dissatisfying to 3rd person rpg fans, but contains addictive multiplayer fun.
