The game itself is an excellent adaption and visualization from its predecessor, Warcraft II. The addition of the hero system is a great add on (and the concept for the far more popular, World of Warcraft "heroes (( players))" ). It provides a rich storyline with unique command and conquer style tactics, with so many different levels of play as to keep you on your toes. You can adopt a fairly defensive approach to most of the game play, but the much harder, but tactically rewarding way is an aggressive offensive on your enemies. Bugs (Or rather, flaws by design): You can use the Paladin's primary ability, which allows you to heal the living and harm the undead, to actually harm the demon Mal'Ganis, who many WoW players would not attribute as "undead", but rather a demon. For WoW purposes, Dreadlords are undead and can be attacked as such. Vista : Vista players will find the cinematic scenes occasionally glitchy and pixel intensive, as it didn't quite adapt into the Vista setup, wasting an amazing display of graphics. For WINDOWS XP users, so long as you have enough RAM, this should play just fine. Addons: World Editor is the most amazing feature about this game. It will allow you to create an entire map based on your specifications, including rules, settings, triggers, bosses, quests, allowing you to create unique and diverse situations that may not be pre loaded into the game.

I used to play this game all the time. It was fun and really good way to kill time in-between class. I dont have much time to play it now but it feels good to know that i can come back to it whenever I have a chance. The graphics are outdated as compared to new games standards but if you dont care about that you will have a blasts playing this game. if you have a hard time passing levels there are always cheat codes for this game. ( it ruins the game play so i suggest playing without them) With the battle chest you get the original game plus the expansion pack. You also get game guides to make sure you get the most out of your gaming experience. All in all it is a great game and for price you cant go wrong.

Cons: The game is almost 20 years old so there are drawbacks, right now you cant use battle.net due an auto-patch that will replace your vintage game with something less good. Pros: The game has aged very well and was before its time when it did come out. Graphics are still pretty good (just not super extravagant). Story is one of the best ever written until you get into about the third expansion of the MMORPG that was based off it.

It is one of the best strategy games out there, even though it's kinda old it still holds up. As the package itself, the box arrived a little tattered, the plastic inside was broken and the strategy guides showed wear and tear, but I don't care about that, the CD Key worked, the discs were not scratched and it fits fine on the shelf. I have an old plastic disc case I can use to replace the broken one. All good.

Although is a classic, must definitively be pllay. I order this one, but the key was already used, so I cannot sync it with my battle net. Good price for the 2 of them.
