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

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 latest strategy opus has more polish than Mr Sheen. It has more style than GHD. It redefines RTS not through revolution, but through painstaking attention to detail to the campaign's story, mission design, the overall presentation and the m...
After fighting off the swarm, only you can decide whether you think you want a long-term relationship with the Starcraft franchise, but from my own experience of this game, I know I do. It's been a 12-year wait Starcraft II to emerge, but play it and you...
Blizzard has stayed true to the fundamentals that we love about Starcraft, but polished and refined them to a gleaming finish – actually making something that transcends its old-school form. This is an epic, engrossing, must have-game, and the years of...
It's a shame that you'll need expansion packs to play Zerg and Protoss campaigns
Fast-paced, entertaining and packed with tactical complexity, this might not be the most revolutionary RTS, but it's the best to hit the streets in years...

Abstract: When Wings of Liberty launched in 2010, StarCraft fans rejoiced. Blizzards space RTS narrative would continue, and yet again, would take place over a trilogy of campaigns – one for each of the playable factions – just like in the very original game and ex...
At the end of the day Starcraft II delivers a riveting and highly enjoyable experience. The cinematics resulted in our mouths hanging open in awe, while the fast-paced online multiplayer will have you clicking away frantically. The entire campaign expe...
It's the StarCraft that players love; single-player campaign is fun even on its own; integrated Battle.net functionality.
A little too tied to Battle.net; No new innovations to the base gameplay mechanic.
StarCraft 2: Wings Of Liberty is hands down one of the best games currently available on the PC and Mac. It's essentially everything that made the first StarCraft such a popular game, but with so much added polish that it's practically shining. YO' MO...
