WarCraft 2 is a legendary game made by Blizzard, a big gaming company as of now. The game when it came out had everything and was a start of a brand new kind of game play. Now with THIS edition though you can play on the internet, which was something many people wanted for some time. The races of 2 arn't nearly as strategic as StarCraft, its following great achiever, due to the facts that the Orcs and Humans in the game play are almost identical. The only real difference is the spells, and the way the units look.
There is 2 reasons that I think you should buy this over StarCraft... One is that it has two GREAT previews of the upcoming game WarCraft 3 and the game Diablo 2. The other reason is that not everyone can afford computers that are incredibly fast. So if you can not play StarCraft very quickly and it goes slow on b.net for you, then WarCraft2 is something you must buy because it will work much more effectively.
RTS legend.

This game is the first RTS game that I have played along with Starcraft and Lords of the Realm 2. But Lords of the Realm 2 (Starcraft is a whole diffrent stoty) didn't have what Warcraft had. The easy to get used to gameplay with great graphics in terms of running smooth, the very low system requirement, and the satisfaction of the Battle.net. I have not played this game since 2000 (Because my dad broke my CD. Read my Starcraft Battle Chest review.) so I don't know if anyone plays online now but all I know is that I had the most fun playing this game back in 2000. I remember the satisfaction that I had with my friends after beating the opponent with my ogres and the dragons. This game ran fine when I used to have Intel Celeron 400MHZ, 64mb ram, and 56k modem. So if you get this game right now, you shouldn't have any technical problems. Also this game is very easy to get used to with easy gameplay and great graphics for an outdated game. This game is definitly a must have if you are a RTS fan. You should know that Warcraft started it all. It started the great RTS gaming genre.
Awesome Game!

This is a really fun game. It is not half as fun as its predecesor Starcraft. I thought the campaigns were a little too easy, and that the whole game was a piece of cake. This is one of the better games I've played so I gave it 4 stars.

We can't get this thing to work in the single player mode, and the tech support people at Blizzard (the publisher) are ignoring my pleas for help.
Absolute Rubbish

This game has to be the worst game I have played on in a very long time.I would give this game 0/10 for playability and just advise you to not go near this game even if you have a 10foot barge pole.Basically just stay away and dont waste your money!!!

Great game. It looks like amazon actually posted a screenshot of warcraft I: Orcs and Humans, instead of a picture from this game.
Waecraft 2 an AMAZING game!

I havent played this game in 6 years and Im trying to get it again although I have Warcraft 3 I love Warcraft 2 more and I can't find it but that won't stop me from getting it. That's how much I love Warcraft 2 and that's how good it is. My favourite part of this game is the Battle net. because your not playing against dumb old computers but some skilled players. That's why I love Warcraft 2 Battle net. aside from the trash talk. I would suggest highly getting this game because you don't know what your missing! seriously.
fun, but old
