Or the Ugly)
The lack of LAN play is a major mistake
And will turn many people off the game
The way custom games is handled feels clumsy
And intensely limiting
Splitting up the regions was an annoying decision for those of us with international fri

The editors didn't like
Multiplayer is more of the same.
The dialog can get a little hackneyed
The base gameplay is very much StarCraft
For better or worse. The wheel has not been reinvented (you could argue this should go in the Good
Or the Ugly)
The lack of LAN play is a major mistake
And will turn many
Adds virtually nothing new
Single-player is a mite too easy.
Out-mission graphics somewhat lacking
Camera control with W
A
S
And D keys would help
Occasional crashes
No LAN support for multiplayer gameplay
Some units stripped out of multiplayer mode to provide game balance.
Remarkably conservative in design changes given the 12 years between games. Exclusive focus on Terran makes it harder to learn Zerg and Protoss units. Mostly
It’s preaching to the converted.
A claustrophobic story
And not as much innovation as you’d think
A bit more revolution of the gameplay would have been nice.
Not as innovative as the original
Custom game browsing needs work.
Some Battlenet inconveniences
Only one campaign.
No chat rooms
No clan support
Many of these we’ve already known about. We can only (mostly) play as the Terrans. No LAN support so we’re forced to use Battle.net instead
And the game has region locks. Some players of more modern RTS games may find gameplay too simple. Overpriced for a computer game.

For those of us who were worried that Blizzard's 12 year absence from the RTS scene would ruin the StarCraft name, we can put our worries to rest. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a worthy successor to the original game that gamers everywhere loved s...

Abstract: So what does one do when making a sequel to what is arguably the most-played RTS in the world? I'm sure that was one of the largest burning questions running through Blizzard developers minds when designing the inevitable successor to the King of Real-...
