Strengths: New campaign, new units, lots of balance fixes/new features Weaknesses: None I can think of Summary: Blizzard expansion packs are usually top notch, and The Frozen Throne is no exception. Instead of just throwing in a few new levels like most developers, Blizzard goes out of their way to add new units, fix any balance issues, and add new features. The additional single player campaigns are excellent, every bit as good as the original game. Blizzard has actually created some new races to play as - unfortunately, you can't use these races in multiplayer. However, they add quite a bit of fun to the single player campaigns. The Frozen Throne introduces several new units. Each race gets a new hero; there are also new mercenary heroes. In addition there are new general purpose units for each race. There are lots of new items, map tilesets, items, spells, and buildable shops. Blizzard has also made some made quite a few changes to the game: - Spellcasters now have an inventory, - Orc burrows can be upgraded to heavy burrows, - Cyclone is now dispelable, - You can buy transport ships from the goblin shipyard, And a couple more that I've probably forgotten. All in all, this is a feature filled expansion, definitely a great addition if you have Warcraft III. 81% of People (22/27) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

porkmeat from CA Member Since: Feb 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Months	Frozen Throne Strengths: Fun gameplay. low system requirements. Weaknesses: AI is not very consistent at times. Summary: This expansion to WC3 has been around for a while now. While quite a few other RTS games have been released during this time, it still remains one of the best. The graphics are still chrisp and beautiful and gameplay is topnotch. Best of all, the system requirements are low enough that you don't need the latest PCs to play it. 75% of People (9/12) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

It's free to play as long as you have a valid CD key. Weaknesses: None. Summary: I bought this game mostly for playing it with my buddies online on Battlenet. If you already have the original version, then this expansion set is a must-have too. Although the Warcraft game has been around for a while, its addiction has still remained as high as ever before. 70% of People (7/10) found this review helpful.

Weaknesses: None Summary: If you are a fan of the Warcraft series, purchase this game. Rarely do I purchase an expansion pack for a game, but the reviews persuaded me to do so with this game.

jkpolo007 from CA Member Since: Sep 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 4 Months	Great Game Strengths: Always updates, exciting Weaknesses: Same gameplay Summary: This game is great. It's especially fun while playing with your friends and stuff. It's pretty basic. I'd recommend it to people, even those who don't play Warcraft like myself. It's not your typical warcraft game. 67% of People (4/6) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

Phasher99 from NY Member Since: Jul 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 10 Days	Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Strengths: - Four new heros for each race and a couple of new neutral heros. - A few new units, upgrades and buildings for each race. - A whole new campaign which continues where the last left off with a great storyline. - Map editor gives alot of replay valu Weaknesses: - Not much improved graphics. - Map editor is the same. - Battle.net is the same. Summary: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne is the long waited expansion pack for the hit RTS game Warcraft III by Blizzard, the ever so popular company which created popular games such as the Starcraft and Diablo franchise. As the title shows, Warcraft III is not the first of the series. It takes off where the last game ended with the two races, Orcs and Humans as they battle it out mono e mono. This time however, two new exciting races join the cast. Warcraft III takes the Warcraft Realm into a whole new experience by putting it into a 3d enviroment. This expansion pack retains the fun and excitement of Warcraft III and adds a couple of new features. Such features includes a whole new campaign, a couple of new upgrades and units for each race, and a new hero for each race (and a couple of new neutral heros). It also includes a map editor (which came with Warcraft III aswell) so you can customize and make your own maps, which gives Warcraft III alot of replay value. Warcraft III can also be played online either on Battle.net or LAN. Overall, this expansion pack is a great buy for those who played Warcraft III and want to add some extra strategy and another few hours of campaigns. 60% of People (6/10) found this review helpful.

Weaknesses: Takes a while to boot up. Summary: Once this expansion is installed, you will never see the non-Frozen Throne screen when you open the WC3 program. The expanded world editor capabilities (for map editing) is well worth installation. Make sure you have at least the minimum CPU, RAM, and video card. 25% of People (2/8) found this review helpful.
