Another great expansion from Blizzard.

Everything about Brood was is the same for me as the original Starcraft game, as I don't play the multiplayer... and why not? Don't fix what ain't broken. Again you play each faction and the storyline advances as you go through each faction starting with Protoss and ending with the Zerg. I thought it was a fitting end to the original Starcraft and what struck me is how well Blizzard can wrap up a storyline and well planned it all feels. What I mean by this is that it feels like they planned to end the storyline and knowing that it would be a longggggg time until Starcraft 2 because the story feels satisfying unlike most games where it ends on a cliffhanger.

So yeah a short but sweet review of the expansion and really it's esactly the same as the original starcraft and just as long so it really feels like a full game and not just an expansion. I don't mind the dated graphics because theres something about the Blizzard art style that makes you not care and some how look better than most generic RTS games of today. What makes Starcraft and Brood War however is the amazing storyline and characters created and the amazing sound design and cinematics they make to immerse you and tell the story.

So if you want to know what Stacraft is liek thenr ead my original review and if you've played Starcraft then the expansion is well worth the buy because it's another great end to a story from Blizzard.
