About
Warcraft II: The Dark Saga is the console version of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and its expansion built on. It is the same as the original product but with new features.
What players say
The most complete console version of an RTS classic for its time, praised for quality-of-life tweaks but hampered by gamepad controls that feel cramped next to the PC original. Fondly remembered by console-only players, dismissed by PC purists.
