I didn't care for it.
I have also enjoyed countless hours wreaking havoc on the rivalling race in WarCraft II, but the sequel just didn't 'do it' for me. First off, I didn't think much of the storyline. I wasn't able to become interested in the heroes and their stories, unlike our heroes and heorines from StarCraft/Broodwar. I like to think I can play games regardless of its graphics, but WarCraft III was too 'animated' for me. It felt like I was playing a cartoonish version of WarCraft II, only without the plot.
I also didn't think so highly of the different races. The forest elves and the undead might have been a good idea on paper, but some of the units and buildings just didn't make any sense to me. (It's been a long time since I played it, so I can't actually be any more specific than that.)
I don't think I have that much more to say. I have a friend who loves it and tries everyday a little bit harder to get me to buy the game (which is now available in some stores in Norway for 50NOK, which is about $6.)
StarCraft is still one of the best games I've played, mostly for its characters, music and storyline. WarCraft III was, with the exception of its impressive cinematics, a bit of a disappointment.
