  • Heart of the Swarm is an excellent expansion pack for StarCraft 2. It moves the story along nicely and provides a strong single player campaign and enhances the multiplayer modes.87/100Note: The expansion is available to purchase as a digital download or ...

  • The best, most finely tuned RTS gameplay around, An excellent single-player campaign, Slick production values and a gripping story, New training missions to ease you into multiplayer
  • Some missions lead you by the nose, Visuals aren't exactly cutting-edge
  • Heart of the Swarm isn't a radical reinvention of the StarCraft universe, but its tweaks and enhancements make an already excellent RTS even better, while the single-player campaign sits right up there with the very best. If you already love StarCraft you...

  • As far from a token add-on as you could imagine. Big, brash, cheesy singleplayer and subtle, thoughtful multiplayer improvements make StarCraft II's first expansion a must-have.>> Read on…Pages12Tags:Games,SoftwareBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery...

  • Abstract:  Considered a cult classic by many StarCraft was (and is) an incredibly popular real time strategy game. The sequel was announced a few years ago and during development of StarCraft 2 Blizzard announced that the storyline they had created was so epic that ...

  • Blizzard knows that you don't fix what isn't broken. An amazing game that pushes the definition of expansion. From the story nut, to the hardened multiplayer veteran, to the new guy who wants to get into the eSports scene, this game offers something to ev...

  • Abstract:  The original StarCraft is well known in gaming circles. That game was one of the biggest factors in making eSports mainstream, and is still counted as one of the most finely balanced games ever created, to the extent that it is still played in a lot of to...

  • Abstract:  Even so, there are some great standout missions, such as the one where a single zerg larvae infests an escaping protoss ship and goes on a rampage. (I also like how that mission sets up a zerg threat for the protoss to deal with in the third part of this...

  • Campagne solo solide et convaincante, Gameplay bien rodé et accessible au plus grand nombre, Mode multijoueur encore plus riche et très nerveux, Un soupçon de RPG sympathique et des pouvoirs innovants
  • Pas de vrais choix significatifs dans la campagne solo, Campagne un peu moins longue et un peu plus hachée
  • Dans la droite lignée de Wings of Liberty , Heart of the Swarm prolonge l'aventure StarCraft 2 avec brio. Outre une campagne solo qui tient ses promesses, le jeu enrichit encore sa partie multijoueur, ce qui renforce encore sa position dans le domaine de ...
