The premise to WoW (2009-03-02)
To start with, I'm a player of the old school Warcraft and Warcraft II. I haven't been into RTS games in a few years, so I skipped this title and went straight to World of Warcraft.

While WoW didn't seem like the Azeroth setting I was used to, I adjusted and kept playing. Then I learned that Warcraft III was essentially the premise to WoW. So, I decided to pick up this battlechest.

I learned a lot about the "new" Warcraft universe from this game. It tells the story of Illidan (WoW: Burning Crusade) and Arthas (WoW: Wrath of the Lich King), and explains a few other races and factions.

As for fun value, it was alright. For me, it served its purpose of explaining the storyline up to WoW and its expansion packs. I like how distinct each faction is with units and buildings. That was a nice touch.

The gameplay is solid. Very few glitches, and I didn't notice any bugs or exploits. Quite polished, really, but that's normal for Blizzard standards.

If you play WoW, but haven't played Warcraft III, I highly recommend playing for the storyline.

If you like RTS games, you might want to skip this one. The mix of RTS and RPG isn't really the best. You could probably ignore the RPG aspect and it'd play just like an RTS. This game is nothing like its predecessor, which was a disappointment.

lots of fun (2009-01-08)
Warcraft III in itself is a very good game with excellent graphics and exhillerating gameplay but what really makes this game is the multiplayer and how you can download games like DotA and battle tanks. I highly recommend this for all who love RTS games and mythological worlds.

If I could only own one game..... this is it. (2008-12-09)
The real gem in this package is "The Frozen Throne". Sure the Campaigns are really fun and well done;but, the online play is what really shines. If you have a decent internet connection, you can sign onto Blizzard's Battle Net and play against players all over the world for free. Thousands of players are ready to take you on in solo matches or with partners in 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 games.
For nearly 3years I have played this game almost on a nightly basis. I am a leader in a top-rated clan where I can meet up with my clan-mates and game.
If you need a change from the ordinary game, you can always play one of the free custom games based on "The Frozen Throne" like Battleship Pro, footmen frenzy, footmen vs grunts, tower defense, or the fantastic custom called DOTA { Defense of the Ancients" ([...])

Great Game. Runs Great. I'm a Mac Gamer (AND XBOX360 GAMER!!! WOO!!!) so I just wanted to let everyone know it runs perfectly.

I LOVE THIS GAME (2008-10-24)
Warcraft 3 is the best. I've been playing it forever and I lost my copy, so I bought the Battle Chest instead. I didn't realize it came with a players guide, so that was cool. DOTA RULEZ
