Great game, but requires "Online" to play anything at all
First of all, I am not a fan of the recently released games that requires your computer to be online in the internet before being able to start a game. Hence, there is a reason why it is called "Singleplayer mode". Obviously, Starcraft 2 requires you to be online before you can even play singleplayer, which to me is completely bogus. Why call it singleplayer when you have to be online? might as well call it, "Starcraft online-2-play"
Anyway, besides that, everything new is good. Plays almost the same as Warcraft 3.... which feels a little outdated. the new Custom map(UMS) games are pretty cool, but much more can be improved as this game is still pretty brand new technically.
The graphics are good, but if you want the most of it, you will have to get a gaming computer that can hold all of those graphics all at once. however, with lower settings, it is still playable.
My first game against someone on Battle.net was a 1vs1 and I won. i was a little suprised, as i waited a couple of days before trying the game out. But i played the beta, so probably thats why, but i dunno. Feels a little too easy on the units, i played terran vs terran.... something inside of me feels a little awkward, because it feels outdated and then something else feels a little new.
overall, i am not at all impressed with the game, it plays like starcraft should, but not to a point where it gets me addicting where i can sit in the chair playing this game 24/7 like how the old starcraft made me.
