A varied, accessible, challenging, interesting campaign, and a hilariously robust multiplayer scene. A game that people can and have played for years and years at all levels of play, and spawning subgenres in the process. I might not love Warcraft III the way I love Kingdom Hearts, but when I allow my logic to speak, when I am capable of silencing my soul, I can tell you with certainty that Warcraft 3 is the best, most important game of 2002.
