starcraft gets a shot in the arm, not necesarily by a full blown sequel, but by an expansion pack
It definitely is a solid continuance of the Starcraft story, pursuing Kerigan and finally encountering people from the long lost earth, which in this reality, is a pretty big deal.
The gameplay overall didn’t change a whole lot, and in the case of a great title like this, is a good thing. Due to this being an expansion one didn’t really have to overhaul anything, just add, which in the case of such a highly lauded game, was probably the best possible decision, as well as the most sensible to continue the series.
The music, which I’ve always adored is back in full force with it's subtle mid-90's rock guitar riffs and all.
I was debating going the GS route and scoring this game a little lower than the original, but to be honest, this deserves the same top 10 score I gave the original, because not only is it more of the best RTS action I’ve played, but it also is the best and most robust expansion, due to it's full sequel nature, jam packed into what was marketed as an expansion.
