Editorial Reviews :
WarCraft II isn't exactly the freshest real-time strategy game on the market, but that doesn't mean it's any less fun than it used to be. For those of you who missed it the first time around, WarCraft II is set in a fantasy realm where knights hack at trolls with swords, deadly spells crisscross the battlefield, and powerful fortresses dot the landscape. The game pits the evil orcs against the humans, letting players choose whichever side they want in a series of battles over the world. With the WarCraft II: Battle Chest, players can experience the magic of the original game along with the added enhancements of the Beyond the Dark Portal expansion pack. Rounding out the Battle Chest is a complete strategy guide that will walk beginners through the basics and provide more experienced players with advanced tactics so they can master the game. That's good, because players will need all the help they can get challenging other WarCraft II fans online. It's possible to challenge one to eight other players on the developer's free Battle.net servers, while more solitary gamers can immerse themselves in one of the fun single-player campaigns or stand-alone missions. WarCraft II's finely balanced gameplay has lost none of its charm, even if the graphics are aging. In most missions you start with a small force and must gather enough resources to build a strong base of operations that can field a formidable army. We had the most fun with the set-piece battles, where we had to shepherd a few beleaguered troops across an enemy-infested map to either link up with a larger force on the other side or protect a hero on his way to some goal. Blizzard is famous for delivering games with terrific production values, timeless gameplay, and lots of extras, and the WarCraft II: Battle Chest is an inexpensive reminder of why the company has such a terrific reputation.
Buyer Reviews :
These are the games that started it all! The original great real-time-strategy games by Blizzard are classics.
I remember downloading the demo of Warcraft from a local BBS and loving it.
When Warcraft two came out I played this game until the last map, which I never did finish...always irks me.
I have gone back to play these games once in a while to try to relive the fun I had playing them originally, but games get outdated so fast and this set of Warcraft games is no exception.
The originals, these games practically invented a whole gaming genre...and heck it it wasn't fun to keep building and building to see what type of stuff you can get next!
If you can handle playing older games, check them out.
