Integration of story in single player campaign
Great inside jokes
And the Firefly inspiration
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

Extremely balanced

Allowing the freedom to do quests in any order. Many new features in single player campaign. Challenge and AI modes in single player help train you for multiplayer. Also
Many fun easter eggs to discover. Required and recommended system specs are relatively reasonable. Multiplayer features include ability to
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.
Abstract: Blizzard’s Starcraft game has one of the most loyal followings to date and 12-years later, the sequel to this gaming blockbuster has finally arrived. As opposed to Earth based real-time strategy (RTS) games such as Command & Conquer, Blizzard added a...
Abstract: We've been doing little else but playing StarCraft II since late Monday evening. Therefore, although you may spot a few fatigue-induced fumbles, what you're reading is the real deal - we've clocked the campaign, been thrashed online, and had a good cha...
Excellent cinematography and audio. An immersive singleplayer experience, within a dutifully realised setting. Care lavished on the details. Significant variety in missions. Extensive choice given to the player.
No LAN ability. A minor paradox of choice with the glut of units available in singleplayer. Multiplayer is not for the faint of heart.
Abstract: Blizzard knows games. They've been making them forever; much longer than their trio of epic licenses (StarCraft, WarCraft and Diablo) have been around. It seems that they haven't just evolved with videogames, but that they themselves have somehow been ...
Highly polished presentation and gameplay; unusually deep storyline; works on PCs and Macs
Verdict, Knocks most other strategy titles into a cocked hat, Good Points Highly polished presentation and gameplay; unusually deep storyline; works on PCs and Macs, Bad Points More expensive than the average computer game; only one single-player campaign

Our new, demanding StarCraft II benchmark shows that this game can really brutalize your PC during large-scale battles. While a decent graphics card is necessary to really enjoy the highest graphical settings, your platform and CPU are even more important...
The wonderful thing about this game is the depth to the units, and the strategies that therefore evolve, certain older RTS seemed to welcome the same strategy of pushing out a large number of high powered units and there was nothing the enemy could do....
If you liked the original StarCraft, you can’t go wrong here. Everything looks better, plays better and sounds better in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. But if you were not sold on the first game all those years ago, or if real-time strategy itself ha...
