Warcraft 2 - Original vs Remake (Unofficial)
An unofficial remake of "Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness" has been released: "Warcraft - Chronicles of the Second War: Tides of Darkness".
I compare it with the original game from 1995. Chronicles of the Second War is a very elaborate and well-executed mod that requires Warcraft 3 as it uses its engine. The gameplay is also very similar to Warcraft 3 with lots of in-game cutscenes, dialog and RPG elements. There are no pre-rendered sequences and the maps and missions are very different from the original game. Therefore, in my opinion, this is not really a remake of Warcraft 2, but a completely new game that feels like a never-released prequel to the story of Warcraft 3.
A lot of work has gone into the mod, which you can tell from the extensive dubbing of the dialogs alone. My main criticism is that it was made more for World of Warcraft fans who are well versed in the game world and want to listen to a lot of dialogue. Those who simply expect a graphically improved Warcraft 2 with great new cinematics might be disappointed.
