Kalin Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:04:34 +0000 http://www.24x7software.com/software/best-seller-series-starcraft/#comment-23722 Im a huge fan of this game and have played it online for several years now... although my computer has rejected the most recent updates. <br /> <br />The only complaint I have is that it's not really a strategy game... no real-time game is. When you play online, chances are that the victor will be the person who can mass the most units the fastest. Granted that requires a degree of strategy, but it really comes down to who's played longer and is more familiar with the buttons. Battle.net has done much to remedy this and there are many games available where the rules stipulate "no rush", which allows all sides to build their forces and then strategy does actually enter the picture. You also get creative scenarios with "use map settings" games, where it's possible to upgrade units hundreds of levels and you dont have to harvest resources. All told, it's a fantastic game that has given me much joy and my opponents much sorrow. Just be aware that this is not really strategy. <br /> <br />If you really want strategy I would recommend any of the "Total War" series, depending on your computer's abilities (in order of increasing technical requirements: Shogun, Medieval, Rome) These games are turn based, but when you fight battles you have the option to command your troops personally. It is real strategy, with factors such as weather, terrain and morale affect the battle seriously.

Although Sc is not as great graphic wise as Age of Empired II the game certainly makes up for it's graphics in other ways. Such as it's three seperate races that are nothing alike. Each race have different abilities and different units. Then you have ladder when u play ladder you get a rating and you can check your placement within that area of the world. Then you can play the regular game of melee in which you build up and fight to destroy enemies. Only one problem with the game is that if you happen to play online most of the users bought the expansion Starcraft Brood War. Which means you cannot play with those users. Yet Starcraft is still a great game and a must! Rating: 5 / 5 Starcraft is also a must buy for a strategy game lover.

All players, good or bad, can have fun playing this game, whether they're battling human/computer forces or racing their units around a racetrack; the gaming options are endless. Starcraft's three races are balanced almost perfectly in power (assuming they are played to their full potential). I would even reccomend playing Starcraft over its expansion. Starcraft is definitely worth the money at the current $10. I have played this game since it came out, and I am eagerly awaiting Starcraft 2.

They spend hours playing and then talk on the phone to their friends about what level and stage of the game they are. Would reccommend this to people who are interested in this type of fun.

I played it for a 10 minutes and that's all I could take. I never would've bought this thing if I had known it was a strategy game. Talk about some really boring crap.
