I finished the second game with the expansion pack. Was it the first game I ever played, or was it the second? I doubt it. I think the first was Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion.
I used to play as the Alliance and the Horde a lot, but I never finished them. I only dabbled with the expansion pack, not getting past a couple of missions. Now, I really enjoyed playing through all four Campaigns – one for each faction in both games. I have to say that in both games, the Alliance missions are noticeably more interesting. And I like their music more. The original game is quite easy, but the expansion pack is significantly more difficult. Yes, it caused me a lot of frustration, but it also gave me more enjoyment.
This is what a real Game is. It's not just blind nostalgia, the duckling syndrome, or any kind of prejudice talking. It's simply a great Game, while the third part is just garbage. I didn't like it from the very beginning, and I hadn't even heard of it until my father's friend brought a copy and copied it onto our computer. Heroes, leveling up on neutral creatures, inventory, Thrall, dreams and prophecies, boring cutscenes, the ugliest pseudo-3D graphics, some stupid elves, and the orcs, who turn out not to be creatures of evil, but a very cultured people, yearning for freedom from the enslaving humans, the ridiculous addition of zeros to the stats of units, boring, drawn-out battles that have lost all their dynamism, where a mage could wipe out half of the enemy army with a blizzard, and it's better not to approach a couple of cannon towers without cannons, otherwise you'll be crushed, the complete absence of water. I don't like the third Warcraft. It's boring. Not like the second, where one mistake can lead to a loss, and where the graphics are so wonderful, juicy, and pleasing.
