Erwin's Pages is the place where you can see it, and here's the usual snippet: Overviewing the beta, there was predominantly the immense stability and "readiness": technically the beta (especially version 1.03) can be shipped. The graphics, sound, animation, terrain, etc. all seem to be definitive, although I hope Blizzard would liven up a bit the terrain. Excellent marks go to the relatively low system requirements and fast performance, although Blizzard has announced the retail version will have slightly heavier specs. As usual, the Blizzard's gameplay is extremely addicitive, this time offering a lethal mix of Starcraftian and Warcraftian RTS and Diablo hack & slash role playing. Certain new features like upkeep are striking, but need further refinement. What we'd also like to see perfected after the beta are the units differences. The basis is great, all 4 races are diverse enough and are designed brilliantly, but the gameplay still needs that razor-sharp edge Blizzard is renowned for. But putting on a less demanding face, the Warcraft 3 Beta is an impressive product that already levels with Warcraft 3's earlier released, biggest rival and most succesful clone, Battle Realms.
