 Written on April 21, 2004 Summary: Great expansion of a great game The expansion pack Brood War pushes the already great Starcraft game even further. A few new units have been added to the old spectacle. The Terrans have got a Medic, a helpful addition because their soldiers aren't particularly strong, and they also have the new Valkyrie plane, a quick assault plane. The Zerg have the Lurker, a nasty thing that can hide underground (like nearly all Zerg units) and releases its sharp spines as soon as the enemy comes too close. This unit is an excellent way to protect the Zerg bases, so that these become even more hard-to-capture strongholds. There's also the flying Devourer, a huge monster that makes the Zerg much stronger in the air than they were before (those Scourges aren't that strong, after all). But it is the Protoss who have received the most interesting additions: the great Dark Templar units that were available sometimes in the missions of the original, have now become standard units. This fast stealth attacker (he can only be seen by detector units) balances the lack of strong small infantry with the Protoss. And: just like with the familiar High Templars, two Dark Templars can fuse to a Dark Archon, a great unit that can mind-control enemies (probably, the Yuri units in Red Alert 2 have borrowed this idea). This can be an immensely powerful addition to the battle, though, as with so much in Starcraft, you have to use these units carefully. They cost a lot, after all! There are also new campaigns, with again some of the well-known great animation movies and a new, great story (And believe it or not, Sarah Kerrigan returns once again!). I find the campaigns generally harder than those in the original, but that's only good news. This add-on just has everything of the original, and then even better. Not to be missed! Written on April 9, 2004 Summary: THE BEST GAME EVER! I dont care what people say. Starcraft and Broodwar are by far the best games ever created! Blizzard is by far the best creator of games ever, period. I am telling you BUY THIS GAME. I don't care who you are, BUY IT!  Written on April 8, 2004 Summary: Decent but unexciting expansion pack StarCraft was an epic real-time strategy game that combined good gameplay with a good storyline, all enhanced by good music and decent graphics. Set in a distant part of the galaxy, the game features humans (or terrans) fighting a civil war while caught in the crossfire of a battle between two other alien races: the psychic, contemplative protoss and the swarming, insect-like zerg. As in any other real time strategy game, the player controls various military units (foot soldiers, tanks (or their equivalent), aircraft, etc) and builds up a supply base while achieving a set military objective. Gameplay is continuous, so commands must be given while action occurs in the game. This expansion pack continues the storyline of StarCraft, but it adds little to the gameplay. A few new types of units with limited abilities are added, but the units have limited capabilites (such as slow, weak air-to-air attacks or heal unit capabilities) that do not really add to the excitement. New scenery is added, but the scenery is not that exciting. The movies in the story mode are interesting, but the plot overall is not as exciting as in the original StarCraft. For fans of the original StarCraft, this is a must-have expansion pack. For the casual game player (who must already own StarCraft to play this game), this expansion pack does not offer much more than what can already be found in StarCraft. Written on March 11, 2004 Summary: Best Game Ever Starcraft is definetly the best game ever to come out for PC, Broodwar made starcraft even more popular by adding a few units to the game. One thing I like about this game it never gets boring, takes a while to learn to play but is the most addictive game on the market. I don't think that this game will ever die down. However I do think that Blizzard should come out with another expansion to Broodwar, its been like 4 years already, all they need to do is add a few units and its going to be a best seller for like 4 months straight. Anyway if you never played this game you don't know ehat you are missing.  Written on February 22, 2004 Summary: i own it !!! this game is horibble i know amazon won't let others see it but if amazon lets me then people should read this i really wanted this game, then i got it i played for 2 months i hated it, it sux people! don't get this game no offense to blizzard. you should probobly get diablo 2 and the expansion diablo 2 is the best computer game i know of. if you really want starcraft than just get like warcraft frozen trone or sumthin lik dat. or u people can just wait for starcraft ghost to come out i heard starcraft ghost is going to be a big hit. so people dont get dis game plz. trust me i bought it i wasted my money on this game. so dont buy this game. ok :) |
