Truly a great Strategy RPG... And I don't even play strategy RPGs...
So, I get it installed, with the expansion pack too, because I'm impatient, then I play it, wondering, as usual, am I really going to like this game?
Then when the title screen appears, I just look at it for a few seconds, you know, to take it all in. So I press Single Player, and make a profile, etc. And click on the prologue campaign, then as I watch the intro cinematic,
I immediately feel as if I'm that huge, fat, smelly orc... Though if I were him, I'd take a load off the wolf I'm riding.
As the gameplay tutorial goes on, I start to enjoy myself, as I don't usually do with Strategy RPGs... As I get to the end of the Prologue Campaign (Trust me, it doesn't take long) I was right into it, like an uber-nerd at a game of Dungeons and Dragons...
So, here's how I see it:
Graphics: Great, but seriously, graphics aren't everything here.
Gameplay: Even though building camps and stuff can get boring, when you get to actually LEAVE the camps and get to some action, with constant character switching and tactics, it 's really fun
Storyline: Though I never really made it that far yet in the main storyline, it's actually really immersive and interesting at the beginning.
If you like Warcraft III, and don't already, the expansion, The Frozen Throne, is a must-have, it goes further into the whole Warcraft III concept.
