Product Information • This real-time fantasy game set includes two hit titles from the Warcraft franchise, Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne expansion, as well as an official strategy guide to help you through your campaigns. The World of Azeroth is under threat from the deadly Burning Legion army, and only you can save it. It is up to you to build an army strong enough to transform your defense into a capable stronghold. Play as either human or orc in the explosive campaign. Expand your empire by conscripting new units, building structures, and upgrading magic.

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne adds a host of new features to the game, including four new campaigns that take you across the frozen continent of Northrend. Explore new maps and master new units such as the Troll Bat Riders, the Blood Elf Spell Breakers, and the destructive Mountain Giants.

Align with Night Elves, humans, orcs, and even the undead in your quest for victory. Long Time Player The game itself is an excellent adaption and visualization from its predecessor, Warcraft II.

The addition of the hero system is a great add on (and the concept for the far more popular, World of Warcraft 'heroes (( players))' ). It provides a rich storyline with unique command and conquer style tactics, with so many different levels of play as to keep you on your toes. You can adopt a fairly defensive approach to most of the game play, but the much harder, but tactically rewarding way is an aggressive offensive on your enemies.

Bugs (Or rather, flaws by design): You can use the Paladin's primary ability, which allows you to heal the living and harm the undead, to actually harm the demon Mal'Ganis, who many WoW players would not attribute as 'undead', but rather a demon. For WoW purposes, Dreadlords are undead and can be attacked as such. Vista: Vista players will find the cinematic scenes occasionally glitchy and pixel intensive, as it didn't quite adapt into the Vista setup, wasting an amazing display of graphics.

For WINDOWS XP users, so long as you have enough RAM, this should play just fine. Addons: World Editor is the most amazing feature about this game. It will allow you to create an entire map based on your specifications, including rules, settings, triggers, bosses, quests, allowing you to create unique and diverse situations that may not be pre loaded into the game. Overall, I give: Play Style: 5 Storyline: 5 Strategy: 5 Graphics: 4 Cinematic: 5 World Editor: 4 •. Really great game I used to play this game all the time. It was fun and really good way to kill time in-between class. I dont have much time to play it now but it feels good to know that i can come back to it whenever I have a chance.

The graphics are outdated as compared to new games standards but if you dont care about that you will have a blasts playing this game. If you have a hard time passing levels there are always cheat codes for this game. ( it ruins the game play so i suggest playing without them) With the battle chest you get the original game plus the expansion pack. You also get game guides to make sure you get the most out of your gaming experience. All in all it is a great game and for price you cant go wrong.

Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New •. Best strategy game ever I bought this game before when first came out paying more than 50 dlls for the Reign of Chaos and 20 dlls for the expansion Frozen Throne and believe me when I tell you that those were the best +70 dlls best spent in my life. This game will provide you with hours and hours of entertainment either playing the campaign or playing online.

The Campaign has the most amazing story line of all games, similar to Lord of the Rings movies but even better. One of the great features about WC3 is the online capabilities where you can play against other players FOR FREE using the internet allowing hours and hours of fun with not only basic maps but the option to download virtually thousands of custom games and maps. Overall this game is a lot of fun and one of the best out there for strategies so I high ly recommended.
