Strengths: Outstanding expansion -- will change the way you play the game. Tons of new techs, units, and NPC buildings/heroes.
Weaknesses: This is a tough game to master. All the new units and strategies involved with those units will make this game even tougher.
Summary: I've been playing the beta for about a week or two and the game design is pretty incredible. All races get a facelift with new techs for old units, and completely new units and heroes to add to the familiar army you already know.

The addition of NPC buildings and heroes is brilliant -- you can also build your own Item shop to replenish your heroes with scrolls+potions

The single-player storyline is supposedly top-notch, but the beta only lets you playtest multiplayer so I can't say anything about solo play yet.

Only negative is that beta players are too good. I get creamed every time I log on.

Strengths: Great plotline, single player and multiplayer both having great gameplay
Weaknesses: Can be hard to start out on multiplayer, everyone is good now.
Summary: The game is great, plotline, gameplay and everything has been improved.

Multiplayer is very challenging, and it is hard to start out if you are new, but the new map editor has allowed editors more freedom to create their own scenarios, some of which don't even include fighting each other but rather working together to defend against hordes of enemies.

Highly recommended for a strategy gamer, action gamer and maybe even the roleplayer.

Strengths: The Strenghts are the new techs, units, heros, and buildings.
Weaknesses: The only weakness that I found was the beta only had multiplayer so I can't say anything about the single-player campaigns.
Summary: This game is excellent. The graphics are awsome, the storyline is great, and the units and heros are also well laid-out. As for a comparison if you've ever played Starcraft or Diablo 2 and you liked them, this is the game for you because its almost a mix between them with the war statigies and the hero leveling and items.
