This is not just another war simulator. I've played this game for several years, and it just gets better. The campaign has a decent story line and the levels themselves are really cool. The online play is why most people buy this game, because all of the races are equal and fair in competition, the units are really cool, and the tech tree is complex enough to give you some versatility. Not to mention that the game comes with an extremely comprehensive map editor so you can literally make your own melee maps from scratch, or your own scenario maps.
The only downside this game has is its crashes on Mac. I run it on XP and Mac and the XP works great, but you will likely have to find one or two patches online to run the Mac version properly. Otherwise, one of the best games out there.
I have a few negative things to say about WarCraft 3. First, It is difficult to master. But once you learn how to defeat the Easy AI you jump with joy! It took me 2 months to master rushing when playing on Battle.net. Second, the campaign is not great. You cannot select which campaign you want to play and the story is not the best.
Pros:
1. Awesome gameplay
2. Cool units and heroes
3. Races are fun (Except the Undead race)
4. The fact that it's a Real Time Strategy (I'm a big fan)
Cons:
1. 2+ months to master
2. Campaign selection
3. You cannot select that many units at a time.
Overall a 5 star game!
Not only a great deal, this game has stood the test of time and is still enjoyable today. Play solo in campaign mode, multiplayer RTS classic mode, user created maps, mini games, tower defense, DOTA, castle defenders, and the list goes on!
If you like to command and conquer, this game is a must own.
