Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

I got the collectors ed. last night and have been playing since then. I must say this game even surpasses my expectations. And they were quite high.

Graphics- The Graphics on this game are outstanding.. once ya up the resolution a bit. 640x480x16 looks okay, but things are a bit jaggy. The cinematics are just absolutely unbelievable. Ten times better than even the Diablo II: LoD cine's, and even a little better than some of the FMV's from Final Fantasy X.

Gameplay- Balanced, Simple, Addictive. At first I was a bit perterbed at the whole idea of "Upkeep" (a percentage cost detracted from your gold as your army gets larger and harder to feed), but it actually balances out the game quite well. Though I believe there should be an option to turn it off in single player, as it seems a tad out of place. Besides Upkeep though, the only other changes are creeps (neutral units that populate the map in small groups.. a nice little touch) and heroes.. which are.. just wow. *chuckles* At level 1-3 they don't really do very much.. I mean, they help, but they aren't gamebreakers. But once you get past that, and rack up a couple of items (you get items by fighting creeps), then your hero will just saunter about the battlefield laying waste to all before him, quite literally. I've used a level 8 Paladin (human hero) to single handedly obliterate an Undead camp.. and he had half of his life still intact at the end of the battle.

Plot- From what I have seen so far the plot is the best concocted by the minds at Blizzard yet. In-depth and engrossing, the backdrop provided in the manual is more than enough to set up the backstory if you haven't played the first two games.. and the game takes off quickly, set up by the first cinematic and developing constantly thereafter.

Sound- The Sound quality is great.. even coming from just the speakers inside my monitor (no real bass capability, no real depth) it seems downright lifelike. Hovering over a battle the din of it seems varied and realistic, like watching Braveheart or somethin'. Voice Acting for the main characters so far is wonderful.. I swear they just pulled an absolute badass off the street to voice Thrall (Orc Warchief). He sounds like he could knock ya out by a sideways glance. Some of the bit voices seem a little overly cartoony though, take the footman for instance. Not nearly as good as the Warcraft II guy. The lines that occur if you click on the unit too many times are just as funny though. Take the orc grunt.. after a few pokes, he pipes up with "Me so horned, me hurt you long time." And that's one of the less funny ones.

Overall- If you have a computer that can handle it, I suggest you go out and get this game. Really. If you like Starcraft, Warcraft, or any fantasy environment or RTS in general, it's practically garaunteed you will love this. It's just so well done.

My prediction: Game of the Year. Most definitely.

Since my computers too outdated and crappy to run it, does anyone know if it'll be coming out on PS2?

No probably not, if you think about it Comand and Conqure was the only RPG PC of its kind to come out for the console scene. Plus it was for the N64. My answer is no it probably wont. Maybe later on though, but now I can imagian that prabably not for the next year or so

I highly doubt it will be released on the PS2.

And I feel your pain, Corey. My computer is a Pentium 1, 200 megahertz pavillion. It is quite CRAP.

I have warcraft 3. My computer is really slow. It freezes a lot,and my internet is slow so I lag all the time. But some times it works. I hope to get a better internet and a better computer. Then I will enjoy the game even more.

Arthas is an ass holer.

I just began the undead campaign. This game is defintely AWSOME, as I said before.

Next game I'll get: Age of Mythology.

UPDATE

An update to all the WC3 fans here on PS2 Fantasy who might've commited the sin of letting thier game CD's cool down.

Blizzard has now officially announced the expansion for WC3! Entitled WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne, the campaign promises to revolve around the final destruction of the Burning Legion forces and the machinations of both the fallen Demon Hunter Illidan Stormrage and the corrupted human prince Arthas in thier quests to gain the power of Ner'zhul through his prison of ice, the Frozen Throne of Northrend...

Other features of the expansion include-
  • A new Hero unit for each race
  • New units for each race to augment and add new strategies to players' arsenals
  • Player built shops equipped with items designed to improve upon the heroes of each race
  • Neutral heroes, hired as mercenaries for all races add a new element of variability to the game
  • Battle.net improvements to support Clan gaming, Tournaments, and new game types!

All I can say is.... WoO!!
