I enjoyed it,
Warcraft III is basically a much updated version of WCII. Hard-core strategy fans seem to think its a "wimpy" RTS, but for someone like myself (wimpy RTS player :P ) it was great fun. What drew me in was what turned some other away. The game does have a thickly woven and interesting storyline, and you play different parts of it with hero characters, however heroes in this game level up and gain skills (which you pick) adding a very diablo-esque element to the gameplay. The cutscenes of course are incredible, both visually and uhm sound-ey (whats the word?), I think Blizzard really could consider making a film of some sort in the future. Overall it's a fun RPG/RTS, kinda light on both but it's a nice balance and adds something more to the monotonous building units and swarming the other base that you may be used to. Was never a big SC fan since I prefer the fantasy stuff, I'd say its worth what you'll spend for it.
