Written on December 21, 2007 Summary: Wow! This is quite possibly the single highest rated product on Amazon. 250 reviewers with a nearly unanimous 5 star rating? I can sit here and plug this product with great detail but I would just be covering another person's tracks. As hyped as I am about the release of SC2 (whenever that may be) SC1 is simply the greatest RTS of the past, present and future. Written on September 27, 2007 Summary: Now's a great time to get this classic Now that Blizzard has announced that it is developing Starcraft 2, this is a great time to go back and pick up this classic real-time strategy game. It's pretty much accepted amongst serious RTS enthusiasts that Starcraft is the gold standard of the genre. As many other reviewers have mentioned, this game is polished, incredibly well balanced, and a lot of fun to play. Both the single-player and multi-player features are enjoyable (pretty amazing that you can still get games on battle.net, considering that this is product is ten years old), and Blizzard still provides patch support for the game. The included strategy guides are rather small, unfortunately, and are difficult to read, but they aren't particularly good anyway, so it's no big loss to not read them. What makes this game so great? This game doesn't have the flashy graphics of modern games, but that's not an issue, since the units are distinctive and possess clean, crisp animations. The unit count for each faction is less than most RTSes - but every unit (this is no exaggeration) has a distinctive role at every phase of the game. No unit is obsolete in the end-game, not even the lowly zergling. As a result, this game makes you seriously think about what kind of army you want to field and how you use it in combat. The mix between battle tactics (micro), base management (macro), and strategy is unlike that in any other game. Incidentally, this game is still incredibly popular in South Korea, with the top professional players earning hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. It is primarily due to the enthusiasm of the Koreans that this game has had its amazing longevity. Not only has their support kept this game on the international gaming stage, but has allowed professional players to develop new and innovative strategies. As a result, it's impossible to ever master this game. There's always something to improve on, and better players to compete with - which are both marks of a truly great game. Even though casual players will never directly interact with the top professional players, the pros keep the game fresh and exciting for everyone. This really is a great time to buy Starcraft - the price is reasonable, there are still many people who play this game, and the community has been revitalized by the announcement of Starcraft 2. Long story short, if you don't own Starcraft, and have even a passing interest in strategy games, you owe it to yourself to buy this product. Written on September 11, 2007 Summary: The Best RTS of ALL TIME! This is one of my favorite games, right up there with Neverwinter Nights and Counterstrike 1.6. This and those two games are about the only video games I ever play anymore, and with good reason. They are awesome games. The campaigns are fantastic, but what is possibly my favorite is the online play with other people. This is a must-have for any RTS lover. Written on September 8, 2007 Summary: Best Game Ever This game is simply put the best game ever. don't let the crappy pics behind this case make u not want to buy it..if u've never played starcraft before, go look it up on youtube and see some one the games. you'll realize how much more strategic and fun this game is compared to most rts. since today is 2008 and this game was made like a decade ago, you'll probably have to get use to it before your realize how great this game is. Written on August 23, 2007 Summary: freakin awesome they still make bug fixes for this game after how many years?? that is freaking awesome. |
