5 Stars Still one of the best RTS games ever made.
Trying to find a game that will run flawlessly on your netbook but still immensely fun? This is that game. Not only fun single player action, but fun online too. Starcraft also has an amazing storyline to it as well.
1 Star Don’t bother if you have a widescreen monitor or laptop.
I’m not saying Starcraft is a bad game- but Blizzard has repackaged and resold this title to run on new PC’s, but they fail to tell you that game only runs on a small resolution that cannot be changed, and that there is no way to run it in a window mode without using hacks that will not work with the “new” version of the game. This means that if you use a widescreen monitor or a laptop, the graphics are distorted and nasty looking, to a point where I couldn’t play it. Shame on blizzard for not adding windowed mode in the latest patches- people have been trying to hack in this feature for years and the request seems to fall on deaf ears. If they don’t support the game, they should stop selling it too.
5 Stars One of the best games ever made!
This game is without a doubt one of the best games ever made, and what a DEAL at 19.99 for the whole set! This game’s single player is very enjoyable, and you’ll also enjoy countless hours of free online play (provided you have a decent internet connection).
Blizzard’s free online gaming service is fantastic. Simple and easy to use, and it has everything from competitive 1vs1ing as well as team games of sizes anywhere from 2vs2 to 4vs4, massive 8-way free for alls and more! I really enjoy playing this online with my friends.
If you like real time strategy games, this is a must have. I’d also like to say that of all the games I’ve played so far by this company, I’ve never been disappointed. They’re all high quality in my opinion, and Starcraft is certainly no exception.
5 Stars The best game of its time, now a classic
When reviewing this product, I must put it into perspective for the time of my review. Starcraft came out in 1998, some 11 years ago now. When it was released, it was a huge hit and won PC game of the year. Now that computers are much faster and graphics have improved, the game can seem a bit out dated to players who have never played it before. For us gamers who remember it from the glory days, we can play it again and still enjoy it, but if your looking for a new game to try, this might be the wrong one for you. Having said that, Korea still has T.V. channels devoted to this game and it is still widely played there.
Starcraft is a futuristic real-time strategy game (that means that you are looking down on units that are under your control). There are three races: Protoss are super-advanced aliens that use incredible technologies and strange energies. Zerg are a primitive dinosaur-like species that use beasts and fleshy creatures. Terran are the human race of the future using technology to aid our fighters in battle. The three races are well balanced and very unique, giving the game excellent replay ability. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
