This is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. The RPG element is almost non-existant. The RTS element is incredibly dumbed down — just build a few soldiers, a few archers, a few spellcasters, and a few artillery, and attack, and that sums out every campaign mission and online game you’ll ever play. The story is ridiculous, it’s a copy of Starcraft/Brood War almost to the letter — you start as good guy, good guy turns bad, you play as formerly good bad guy, then you beat the bad guy who commands the formerly good bad guy. Every creature you face talks trash to you right before you kill it, along the lines of “you fool, you DARE challenge me!” Every single time. Just about every cutscene involves some idiot getting tricked into joining the bad guys, like in Brood War except even dumber.
If Blizzard hadn’t built up so much goodwill with Warcraft 2, Starcraft and Diablo, this game would have been in the bargain bin after two weeks. 0/10 and may god have mercy on your soul.

The Battlechest is pretty good. You get both WarCraft3 and its expansion (the Frozen Throne) and 4 manuals: a base manual for each game (although the base manual for the expansion is tiny), and a quest manual for each game.
I think I would have loved this game had it been turnbased. But it is real time, and managing a group of warriors here, your workers there, your buildings somewhere else, another group of warriors in another place again all in real time is a huge toll on me. Ok, there are hot keys (to switch among groups of units) that make your life easier, but it is still boring to have to care for so many things at once.
I stopped playing this game very soon.

I bought this pack so I could play DOTA onlien with friends. Soon, however, I tried out the original, ‘play-as-packed’ version of the game. I found it a bit boring…
Play DOTA!!!

Warcraft III and it’s expansion has many flaws in the story, the missions, and even some of the units. When I mean flaws, I mean a TON of things were ripped out of Starcraft. Most of the Warcraft II’s units have returned. There are two new factions: the Undead Scourge and the Night Elves. The Undead Scourge resemble the Zerg from Starcraft. Just read the manuel and you’ll see how similiar they are. The way you build their buildings are similiar, you have to build it on the dead creep. A great thing about Starcraft is the incredible storyline and the characters that were introduced. The superb voice acting actually made you care about the characters. Not the case with Warcraft III. You have to rely on your heroes too much. I didn’t think it was a good idea to implement RPG elements. When I played some of the missions, I could tell I had done it all before in another game. In one mission in The Frozen Throne, it resembled a mission from Brood War PERFECTLY. You had to destroy an enemy base while the enemy was idle for a few minutes. Brood War’s version was easier and I was forced to use cheats on The Frozen Throne’s version.
Personnaly, I think Starcraft is a better game just for the fact that Warcraft III is simply the fantasy version Starcraft in 3D(graphics are awesome, by the way. Good for customs) and plus it came with Humans and Orcs.
