10 years means nothing to this game!
User Rating: 10 | Starcraft: Brood War PC
With the announcement of Starcraft 2 I thought it would be time to review a game that I have loved and sometimes hated over the years. The graphics may not be as hyped as Supreme Commander but it has in my opinion the 3 vital things for an rts. Now this game has everything an rts game needs, strategy, re playability and a dedicated online fan base. This game has so much strategic depth, that it makes me wonder where the rts games of the present went wrong. No race plays like the other. If you play Protoss like Zerg well then your going to have a lot of problems. Now my only true issue with the strategy of the game is the lack of unit combat. I'm just being picky. Yes I'm aware the unit combat is still a new thing. I hope that the second Starcraft has unit combat. Now this game is 10 years old and with people still buying it one must know that the online fan base and re playability is amazing. Now online while fun, is very difficult. Difficult as in new players will have to accept that they will lose a lot before they see a single victory. Thats only because of the veteran players. Now I must admit I rarely see victories on my side. Yet I still love this game. Sure I get frustrated but who doesn't. All in all a great game and I suggest anyone who doesn't have it to pick it up and brush up those skills so you can have some fun when Starcraft 2 comes out.
