It seems like every minute I get a message saying that the computer has lost their hero again.Īnyway, I play it on "Painfully Slow" speed, just so my human reflexs have a chance. the Computer AI is insane! The computer AI has the Hero's scream around the map taking onĮverything, sacrificing their units, grabbing all the loot, and leveling their heros at blinding speed.
the Hero's start at level 1 without stuff in each game so they become just another Unit/Strategy My beefs with it (tainted by my WCII and Starcraft play) Fantasy characters (er, uh, like Zerg, and Protoss are in any reality.) Heros which add a variable strength vastly upgradable unit. the story/plot (as with many of Blizzard games) is an even thinner veneer for getting to the game play. a little cartoonish and the sounds are very humorous (if you like that sort of thing - it's a big hit with my 12yo nephew) IMHO, it is just like Starcraft with the exception of I bought it and Frozen Throne after playing it at my nephews house this summer. WarCraft III was, with the exception of its impressive cinematics, a bit of a disappointment.Ĭompared to other Blizzard games I'm still somewhat a newb. StarCraft is still one of the best games I've played, mostly for its characters, music and storyline. I have a friend who loves it and tries everyday a little bit harder to get me to buy the game (which is now available in some stores in Norway for 50NOK, which is about $6.) I don't think I have that much more to say. (It's been a long time since I played it, so I can't actually be any more specific than that.) The forest elves and the undead might have been a good idea on paper, but some of the units and buildings just didn't make any sense to me. I also didn't think so highly of the different races. It felt like I was playing a cartoonish version of WarCraft II, only without the plot. I like to think I can play games regardless of its graphics, but WarCraft III was too 'animated' for me.
I wasn't able to become interested in the heroes and their stories, unlike our heroes and heorines from StarCraft/Broodwar. First off, I didn't think much of the storyline. I have also enjoyed countless hours wreaking havoc on the rivalling race in WarCraft II, but the sequel just didn't 'do it' for me.
