Como on Blizzard, its just a game! September 5, 2010 Ivan A. Gamboa Fuentes You got it right blizzard, its a very nice game, very well done, but its so great that you just couldn't
let go. So, this ain't a purchase for me, its for lease, for rent. Thats right, blizzard its now offering games for rent. Overall THAT SUKS
Starcraft 2 Review September 5, 2010 N. Soderberg (Phoenix, AZ) -Do not be confused by the 1 star reviews, some people have reviewed it as 1/5 then changed it to 5/5 after finishing the game-
I bought this (digital download) the day it came out and the first thing I played was the campaign. Being a new player to Starcraft, I started on normal, and it was somewhat challenging. The storyline is very good, which makes it interesting when playing the campaign over and over again. The graphics are VERY good, and sound quality is outstanding. There are many different styles of levels for each campaign mission you do, some are defense, some are offense, some are both. The ending for the campaign is very good and closes the story off for the next expansion. If you are good at RTS, or just starting out, I suggest you buy this game, it is very fun and there are new custom games almost every day to try. When the expansion comes out, I will certainly buy it.
Great game September 5, 2010 Jay-aRe 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game is great, but I play it on a sucky computer so it's choppy. But still, even though my experience is bad it's still a great game for me. Great story and great gameplay.
Do Not Buy September 4, 2010 Dr. Space (Somewhere, United States) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Unfortunately Blizzard is no longer about games.
Too many years of running WOW (aka a money-printing machine) has ruined the company.
Or maybe it was all the changes to their corporate structure.
Whatever the cause, making you sign onto the internet over and over to verify your copy, no LAN game, Uber Region-Locking and charging $60 for what is effectively 1/3 of the complete game is unacceptable.
It means Blizzard has finally become a company - not about the games or the fans or even the casual customers, they are purely about squeezing every last cent out of every fan-boy they can dupe into buying their products.
Please don't take my word for it.
Research this game.
Make sure you understand completely the limitations that Blizzard tries to hide.
Buying this abomination will only encourage them to produce more.
Help them see the error in their ways.
Boycott this game.
Good Game for it's price. September 4, 2010 Morgan Flenniken (Mesa AZ) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'v seen so many people writing bad reviews for this game, that I really don't think have even played it yet. They just go off what they read or hear.
So here we go, during the install process, you watch a narrative slideshow on what happened in SC1 and broodwar. Which I thought was pretty cool as it's been a long time since iv beat SC1. Game loads up you create your online persona, which is used in single player to save achievements too. Upon reading up about just 1 side of the campaign I wasn't overly thrilled nor did I go into this with high expectations. That being said 1 race is plenty, it took about 34 hours to beat the campaign, and there's several different missions I need to go back and play through the counterpart choice. There's different paths you can take to unlock different units, technologies, or allies.
There's great character development, it doesnt force you to it, but once your i think it was like the 3rd mission you have a command center and you can delve deeper and talk to people if you want. The single player campaign i would give 5 stars, great voice acting, awesome story, doesnt have a cliffhanger ending, yet I look forward to the next campaign.
I read somewhere about someone complaining about lack of units, and the next campaigns won't be as interesting, like i stated above the units, technologies are different, quite a bit different in single player than there online counterparts. ex; first time playing online I thought where is my flame turret!
Online could use some work, all I play are custom maps, and i like how they fill quickly if you join them, or you can host thru bnet, without worrying about portforwarding or any firewall issues. While there working on the layout and lobby to include chat and channel features, that will be nice. Now I do hate the autostart and 30 second countdown on games joined, which is why this has 4 stars and not 5. But that's easily remedied if you create your own game.
