SUMMARY
In Warcraft 3 the player controls the Orcs, Humans, Undead, and Night Elves through their respective campaigns. This game is a real time strategy game which puts you in control of the army of the race and makes you carefully manage resources to build up a base and army in order to defeat your enemies.
GAMEPLAY
The first thing that hit me was the storyline events that happen the instant you start a new game. The opening cinematic for this game is incredible, it firmly sets the idea of the world that you are living in and sets up the prophet for the conflict that is to come. This is immediately followed by the tutorial in which Thrall, the Orc leader, decides to play along with the prophet and follow him. The tutorial is well structured and does pass on the characteristics of the game very well. By the end of it I could use the heroes abilities easily and command the armies without too much trouble. This game was fun to play as well, the storyline actually continued to progress even in the game itself.
Another thing I liked about this game immediately was how you could build bases to support your army. With all of these options I am guessing that this game will be heavily emergent, and very fun because of it. I found that I actually started to care about what was going to happen next so it was difficult for me to stop playing to even write this (I plan on going back to playing as soon as I finish this post), which means that this game is doing something right. That’s the end of my first review, I’ll get back for the second part.
