Difficulty:

Learning Curve:

Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Old-school"
Gameplay: The game takes place in the fictional fantasy world of Azeroth where creatures called Orcs are at war with humans. The condept of this game is very simple. Build buildings so you can train soldiers, and let the soldiers discover the map. once you find enemie(s), you kill them all to proceed to the next scenario of this game. Also gathering resources is pretty simple. You gather wood and gold to build up your army but there is a new resource, which is oil to help build your ships. But this just adds stress to your workers.Thats because there are a bunch of new units like Zepplins, Wizards, suicied bomers and ships. So the storyline continues the battle between the orcs and the humans. The orcs have taken over Azeroth and the humans have fallen back to another land and have seeked help from elves. And so the battle goes one. There is still the random map play where you get to choose the map and fight against the computer. Also there is a new multiplayer mode where the server can hold up to eight peoeple at the same time. Graphics: The graphics have been improved from the first game of course. The cuts sceans have been improved and the cartoon looking graphics have been improved and look more polished and more colorful.

Sound: The sound has been improved. The soundtrack goes well with the game which really sets the mood during the battles. Also the voice acting during gameplay and the cut scence are well done.

Value: The replay value Is good, once you are done with the single player you can move on to the multiplayer. All in all it's not a bad RTS game of it's day but I have played better RTS games. The thing I don't like was the lack of units, the moral system and fantesy related games are not in my radar of intrest. So I give this game 7.5 out of 10
