Warcraft III

Warcraft III is by far better than the previous ones. Blizzard made sure there were no little bugs in the game. The “problem” in this one is that spirits are unleashing hell upon all the races, and one guy that screwed up a long time ago is trying to make everyone unite and defeat the spirits. It goes much in the style of the previous ones,
Age of the Empires, Starcraft, and Tiberian Sun games. You build items, an army, and then kill people, if you are in a multiplayer mode. It also has a pretty cool single player
game too. You perform missions, starting with the Orcs (there are four races Orcs, Humans, Night Elves, and Undead), and then after you beat a couple of missions with them, you progress to the humans, but still following on the same storyline. In single player, you can create heroes, which are “super dudes” that have a unique experience/leveling system. Every time they kill someone, if the thing they kill has a higher level than them, they gain a certain amount of experience. When the hero levels, he can learn a new spell, such as a healing spell or an attack spell. Heroes can also pick up items that make him stronger or he can use it on another person. And then there is the Battlenet. Finally, somebody has gotten a Battlenet right for this type of game. In all the other games I have, i.e. Age of Empires games, Tiberian Sun games, etc., you need to download plugins purchase this, install that, its way to much work and it always ends up screwing up my comp and not working anyway. In Warcraft, you click Battlenet; enter your email, name, login name, password, and your done. Now you can login and play all kinds of other people. You can choose your race, whether you want it to be 1-1, 2-2, every man for him/herself. It’s quick and easy. I love it. The graphics in the game are pretty
good, and right before each level is a movie that has incredible graphics. It looks nearly real, except
you can tell it’s not quite. The storyline makes sense; it progresses correctly in a way that makes sense
even to stupid old me.
