Warcraft series are made by huge American Company called Blizzard. When this game was published, it was so popular that people had to wait in line to purchase one of them. This is what I experienced when I was living in Saipan (It is a commonwealth of U.S.). However, about a month ago, after I moved into U.S. I noticed that this game is not that popular in here than I expected. What do you think about this game?

I can say that Blizzard have done a better job at some other games. Take either Starcraft or Diablo II/LOD for example. Extremely popular games here. If you like games like that (called RTS's - RealTimeStrategy) try getting the Command & Conquer Series (Red Alert, Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, etc.)

Blizzard's games are always the most popular games in China. There're my favorites too. I love Warcrafts graphics especially the multi-direction views. I believe its much more successful than Starcraft. It has more characters and more exciting adventures. All in all, I love Warcraft.

Warcraft is the product of combining of Starcraft and Diablo, I think. In the Warcraft Game, the inctroduction of Hero make the game more complicate and more intresting. The chariming things of a RealTimeStrategy Game are operation skills and strategies. So the introdution of the concept of Hero just fit this point. and now the Warcraft become more and more popular in China and is getting the place of Starcraft in RealTimeStrategy E-Game.

I was a player of Starcraft, but now I am a begining player of WarcraftIII. and I found the game is more intersting than Starcraft. Because somethings uncertain also add to the game and make it more uncertain, for example, you may get something very precious when you kill a wild creature or maybe you get something worth nothing, all this maybe the key of a battle. and the other way, a higher level operation skills is more inportant. Now I am enjoying the great game.
