Ever since I was 13 I have loved this classic real time strategy game. Although it may not have the fancy graphics or customizable characters that many RTSs can boast of today, what is does have is simplistic fun. Tolkien style fantasy war; orcs verses humans, knights verses horded monsters, heck... it even has dragons verses defenseless peasants! Have your legion of paladins ride off to expunge forces of darkness from it's goblin infested lair, or if you prefer, knock down your enemy's church and eat what you find inside!

With it's well rendered cartoon graphics, funny catch phrases, skill testing resource management, and good old fashioned explosion noises Warcraft 2 battle net edition can be fun for anyone with an eye for real time strategy.

I loved Warcraft 2 when it came out and I've had one of the first copies for a really long time. When I upgraded to a new computer with windows vista the first copies of the game didn't work. This Battle.net Edition works perfectly with windows vista. Going through all the campaigns has been really fun.

For all the talk I've seen on the net about how Warcraft 2 Battlenet Ed. won't work on newer Windows, I'm happy (for me) and sad (for those others) to let you know that it went right in and set up perfectly on WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE.

Not the slightest glitch nor hiccup and plays perfectly.

No patches, just ran setup off the cd.

Just wish Blizzard would finally see beyond WOW and UPDATE AND FACELIFT WARCRAFT 2 for those of us who LOVE the original and couldn't give two hoots in hell about WOW, online pay-2-play and Mr. T's goofy "MOHAWK GRENADE..."
