 Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Review for PC at GamingExcellence

 Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos Review
The plot and the narrative in WarCraft III are relatively straightforward, and you will be able to follow most of it even if you never heard of Azeroth, but you won't be able to grasp the epic magnitude of what is actually going on and fully enjoy the experience with no previous knowledge.
Therefore, if I were you (and had no previous WarCraft experience), I would at least first read the manual which (besides detailed technical and statistical information) offers a short history from the aspects of all five races in question, and visit a couple of sites which deal with the topic.
WarCraft is blessed with a manageable (reasonably small) number of highly different yet well balanced units and structures, none of which grow redundant during a single session of play.

July 2, 2002 - So WarCraft III has apparently already pre-sold some ungodly number of copies at this point, so it seems almost beyond the realm of my capacity to have any affect on whether or not most of you will buy the game or not.
WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos is not the same game that was originally presented to us three years ago.
While it's certainly not the most original property on the face of the earth (meaning that elves and orcs and the undead get used so much in fantasy it's like watching a dead horse beat itself), the characters and situations managed to be believable enough in a mature enough story to keep me interested.

 GGL - The Korean Warcraft 3 Experience: A History, Part I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
This article will be a chronological overview of non-Koreans (mostly focusing on Western players) who stay in South-Korea (hereafter refered to as "foreigners") to play WarCraft 3 on a professional level, and Koreans moving out of Korea to play WarCraft 3 on a professional level.
Despite a promising start in early WarCraft 3 (2002/2003), with televised leagues hosted by OGN and MBC, both individual and team leagues, the WarCraft scene slowly declined over the past three years in Korea to a shade of its former glory.
Many feel that they were in prime gaming shape during the stay, and it's no mystery why the first two WarCraft 3 World Cyber Games were won by players who were, at the time, based in South-Korea, with the third being won by a player who spent months in the country before the match.
