My favourite game of all time. It's aged slightly, but plays far better than Starcraft/Warcraft1+2 from the same time period on today's higher-res screens. Story is almost non-existant, and gameplay is repetitive, but it's the LoL or DotA kind of repetitive which keeps you playing for huge lengths of time. One of the biggest varieties of races and classes in any PC game ever, almost certainly the biggest on release, and even the same race/class/speciality combo can be spec'd in multiple effective ways. Hero levelling and progress is amazing, and the AI is (surprisingly) really good for the time. Zero gameplay bad points, WBCII is let down only by the lack of story, which many would argue isn't necessary in any case. After all, you don't need justification or character development to take over the world :).
