Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

"For WarCraft III fans suffering from withdrawal, Frozen Throne is exactly what the doctor ordered."

"Despite the numerous units and Heroes that were part of the original Warcraft III, I always felt as though it were incomplete, that it was a bit too one-dimensional. It finally feels as though Blizzard is putting the finishing touches on a painting that was never quite finished, and gamers will finally be able to experience Blizzard’s fully realized ambition."

"Frozen Throne manages to fix the balance problems that crept up in WarCraft III, but is unable to fix the fundamental problem. The game remains at an uncomfortable middle-ground between strategy and tactics, not giving enough of either or focusing explicitly on one. Multiplayer remains the strong point, and one-on-one play is much improved since the balance is closer between races."

"The Frozen Throne adds a whopper of a new campaign, plenty of new units and even a weird new Orc RPG mode. But how about easing up on those unit selection limits?"

"Those who like and play a lot of Warcraft 3 have to purchase this expansion, just like those who enjoyed and played a lot of Starcraft had to purchase Brood War. There are a few annoying things in this expansion, but the thumbs definitely go up for this one..."
