A score of 97/100 is the result of a review of Warcraft 3 at WiredPlay. The late but detailed review is full of praise for the playability of Blizzard's game, and the only complaint they have is related to the gold mines:
One drawback, that is there just to add a challenge, is that you have to find a gold mine in order to collect gold, and each mine only has a certain amount of gold. This sounds like no big deal, but there are only a couple of gold mines in each level, usually guarded by either the enemy or various monsters, and most of the time you need as much gold as possible. This wouldn’t be that big of a deal if everything didn’t cost so much to make. Also, the more you grow the less gold you get. You start out getting 10 gold about every 10 seconds from each worker working the mine, but once you get over 40 people, you only get 7, then once you get to 70+ you only get 4 gold, which is a real pain. I guess not everything can be perfect. |
