"When it comes to sequels, WarCraft II beats others to the ground"

After I played WarCraft II, I really had fun. It was an all-around good game, even if it needed some changes, and I really had a good time.

Plot: 9/10
A wonderful plot. It makes sense, and throughout the story you can actually enjoy playing it. The nice part about it is that it also reacts to the Orcish storyline, making it even more fun than the original storyline.

Graphics: 7/10
Well, I guess maybe the graphics are okay, but considering the fact that Blizzard has had lots of time to update, I'm surprised they didn't do something with the graphics. However, the cinematics have incredible graphics, even if you own an older computer.

Violence: 9/10
The game had a lot of blood in it. I was surprised ESRB brought the content rating down to "T" and didn't leave it at "M". I would definitely not recommend this to kids under 10.

Compatibility: 10/10
I tested this on both Mac and Windows, and found that it worked great, no matter what system you own. It has low amounts of space which allows it to become an even better game.

Sound: 8/10
The background music was nice and easy. The medieval music changed to your type of race, which made it even better. But the Orc Sound set was designed pretty badly. They needed work on it.

Difficulty: 9/10
The game can be played in different scenarios, including Easy, Medium, and Hard, which helps, especially if you are new to WarCraft II and need experience.

Add-Ons: 10/10
I bought this game, and it also came with the Map Editor and Battle.Net, which were vital to an even better gaming performance.

In the end, I found this game to be fun, exciting, and challenging all at the same time. Although there were many parts of the game that needed improvement, it is well worth the money and is easy to buy. These days, you can find it at most gaming shops for about $20, sometimes less. If you are a fan of WarCraft, this is a must-have for your collection.
