Starcraft Review

This truly is a masterpiece. The artwork and the graphics are beautiful for such an old game (10 years at the time of writing!). I recently picked this up because a friend recommended it and it was a fantastic recommendation. For a mere $20 I got both Starcraft and the expansion plus both guide books. The online play is fun and addictive with amazing longevity due to it being free, easy to use and includes a very good map editor/maker (which the community has really got into). Most of the games i enjoyed online are not even the normal game modes. To be honest I haven’t actually gone into the single player for there is so much more in the online play! The obvious flaw I find is just a couple of annoyances such as the “selecting 12 max units rule” and some other minor problems. These will all be fixed in the next installment. For me, they don't even need to change that much to create another piece of perfection.

Well worth purchasing and remember this is based only on online play so there probably is a bundle of more fun in the campaign!
