I rather liked Tides of Darkness. The graphics are always good and I would have to say exceptional for the time.

Although I am not sure what came first, Command & Conquer or WarCraft but they both have the same type of feel. Warcraft tends to be a classical fantasy and I am rather fond of the gene. But this version doesn't seem as tactful as the predecessor, as the AI is considerably more intelligent even know I can beat it fairly easily. There are simply more options, more to do and the cut scenes are great.

I love building my base, making sure the church goes in the right place. I like the towns to have a unique feel and my citizens to look happy! But then again this is war. Being able to build a big fleet of ships makes for a great sea battle and I do love having the ctrl function that allows you to have multiple armies to send into battle. All the upgrades and levelling up of the units in my army does add that addiction factor and I could easily spend hours a night on the game.

So I am grateful there is a Dark Portal expansion pack to add to the last ability which Tides of Darkness lacks. Even still Warcraft II is an excellent game with good background music, excellent graphics and great functionality.
