An in-depth Warcraft 3 review has been posted up at SLCentral. Final Rating is 9.5/10 stars, and here's a random snippet about gameplay:
Warcraft III no longer uses static maps with a couple of critters tossed here and there. The maps are now populated with neutral buildings and hostile unaligned creatures, called creeps. A wide variety of monsters exist on the maps, from red dragons to wendigos, from gnolls to kobolds, from spiders to centaurs. The maps are also dotted with shops where you can hire mercenaries and purchase items with your heroes, and also shrines and fountains, all of which operate as they did in Diablo II. These make for some useful battle camps when you're halfway to an opponent's settlement, and can often be points of control that turn the tide of battle. |
