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.
Integration of story in single player campaign, great inside jokes, and the Firefly inspiration,
Multiplayer is more of the same.

Abstract: Some sequels radically reinvent what has come before; others simply buff up a formula that already soars. To suggest that Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty does only the latter and not the former would be to sell short the fresh ideas and exciting gamepla...

Abstract: When talking about Starcraft 2, most people tend to speak mostly about the competitive gameplay. After all, the first Starcraft endured for more than a decade, overwhelmingly popular in every corner of the world, due solely to the quality of its comp...
The intention of testing 4v4 gameplay was to look for the worst case performance scenario on StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Gamers have little to fear on the GPU front as this is not a game that challenges the latest graphics cards. We found that eve...
