warcraft 2   2010-07-09
By Random Violence
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..."

Plays like the original, but able to play it on XP! Pretty much the original + upgrade, in this edition.
Doesn't work on XP   2009-07-13

I had this game on Sega Saturn and loved it...bought this version for PC and cannot get it to work even after taking all recommended steps from Blizzard. Low rating is because of this problem, Warcraft II itself is great.
Good old game   2009-06-09
By Nadejda Poznanskaya (USA)
I had this game for a long time on my old computers and played once an a whyle to kill the time. When I changed my PCs to newer models, they came with XP and Vista. The game didn't want to instale on new PC. I had to replace Warcraft 2 with Warcraft 3, but Warcraft 3 has different graffic and is more complicated. Now I'm happy to have easyer version - my favorite old game on new PC.
warcraft 2, nostalgic fun   2009-06-02
By S. Wilson (portland OR, USA)
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.
