Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just picked this up in a store in Burbank about 3 hours ago. I was a player in the beta, and I loved how Blizzard shook up the old, VERY tired RTS genre. The world doesn't need another StarCraft clone, and Blizzard doesn't need to make one -- they own the franchise, after all.
Warcraft III IS different: The heroes aren't just named ordinary units, like they are in StarCraft, but rather they are semi-RPG characters dropped into the game, that can level up and acquire new items. During the beta, nothing was more fun than finding a StarCraft player who ignored the value of a hero unit: One level 8 hero and a small entourage of units with him could easily demolish whole armies and towns that the StarCraft player was dutifully pumping out.
I am about halfway through the first of the four campaigns in single player, and so far, the Human campaign has a nice variety in its levels, with some featuring no building or traditional RTS play at all, but just RPG play. The plot is strong and it draws you into the game. Needless to say, the amazing cinematics and the cool in-game cinematics help out a lot in that regard.
If you pick up the Collector's Edition -- and you should, since the game plus the book it includes are almost the same price -- you get a beautiful fake leather box (it's HEAVY), the game with an autographed manual, The Art of Warcraft art book, a DVD of the cinematics -- BEAUTIFUL! -- a CD soundtrack and four art prints that are the covers of the regular edition. The art book is for sale seperately at Amazon and is a great book, full of pictures I've never seen in 7 years of playing Warcraft. And as I said before, buying the book plus the game is almost the same price. For a little bit more, you get all the Collector's Edition extras!
GameSpy and PC Gamer are already giving this game 90+ reviews and what I've seen so far from the multiplayer beta and the Human campaign, I have to agree. This is a must-buy for gamers!
