WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne

The Good
New heroes, units and buildings with awesome graphics, great sound effects, nice voice acting and the deep warcraft universe. The strategies will change a bit from RoC to TFT, giving some more balance to the units. In short, Blizzard added anti-air and anti-magic units so just mass casters or mass air units won't beat almost everything, and if these new counter-units are used well, they can give you the victory. Four selectable races and different strategies that will need different heroes and units give this game a huge replay value

The Bad
Tho most annoying aspect of the game, a crash to windows desktop now and then was actually fault of my PC and low-cost RAM, so since it has never happened again, i love every bit in this game / expansion.

The Bottom Line
Roc + TFT is the best game i have ever played. Since I bought it, I have finished the campaigns and played literally thousands of online games. Every time the game is about to start, the players have been picked, the team defined and the map is loading, I know that shall my team win or lose, I will have a great time

The Good
Blizzard did a great job in creating this add on. The graphics were impressive. The additional field units added a depth of strategy. The music was pleasant without too much repetition. The continuing story was entertaining and relevant to the levels you ended up playing.

I really like the increased cap of 100. It added to the mayhem you can cause.

The Bad
The wicked evil micro-management that came with the new Hero characters. If you didn't heal and curse on a second by second frame, you'd get munched and crushed without putting up a fight. The grouping mechanism is still awkward and the path finding AI is a little scary at times.

And the wide open ending that left you wondering what in the heck will happen next?

The Bottom Line
If you loved Reign of Chaos, then don't hesitate to get this addition. You'll not regret it.

The Good
Exactly the same good as Warcraft 3; the gameplay still works fine, the soundtrack is awesome and the story and the way the game tells it are still great. I can't say there is any improvement though.

This expansion is just as long as Warcraft 3: Reigns of Chaos was and could have been sold to me as a full-priced game. I won't complaint about it though :)

The Bad
Still the same flaws as Warcraft 3, Blizzard is rather consistent it seems.

The Bonus campaign just keeps dragging on and it's way too easy. It does end with a great climax, but everything leading up to it is just boring and never seems to end.

The Bottom Line
This review is a bit shorter than what I usually write, but that is because you can't really say anything about this expansion. It's still exactly the same good with the same flaws as it's predecessor, but now at a much lower price. It's still a recommendation for fans of the Warcraft lore and for strategy-game fans, but people who aren't either of those this game will prove to be a bit boring and a little too hard.
