Hey, I think it's a fine game, but I just don't think it was as good as Starcraft or as revolutionary as Warcraft II.

Did I like it? Not really, no. The single player campaign was fun enough, but the multiplayer sucked and the upkeep limit was very anti-starcarft. All all the emphasis on heroes was just blah. I have no idea what the game was like now, but when I played you pretty much lost the game once your heroes died.

Now don't get me wrong, WC3 was in development for a long time. I believe that it Started out as a true sequel to WC2. However, the overall story arc and feel of the game definitely feels more like a prequel to World of Warcraft than a sequel to Warcraft 2.

And once again, I don't think it would have sold as well or would have gotten as good reviews if it did not have the "Blizzard" logo on it.

I'll take Warcraft 2 and Starcraft anyday over the hero-fest that is WC3.

Not that it matters... I am mostly playing Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft these days.
