No matter that this was the most awaited game for over a decade, they would release it "whenever it would be ready". Well, it is ready, it is here and it rocks. Too bad they kicked the respect bucket in the end. But first things first.THE GOOD OLD GAMEPLAY GETS THE CIGAR Seasoned and new gamers alike will appreciate the simple yet highly enjoyable gameplay. The factions are well balanced and the units perfectly valued. You gather minerals and vespene gas, you build your defenses, you upgrade, you expand, you gather your forces - and you unleash hell. Repeat as needed until satisfied. STARCRAFT: THE QUICKENING The game is much faster than the original. Resource gathering, building, researching and expanding all go faster now. This is something that will appeal to most and I for one liked it. It conveys an enjoyable sense of urgency, adding to the immersion...

It had taken long enough, right? Let's just say that this is one instance where the hype didn't disappoint. Would I have liked to play all three chapters of the story at once? Sure, but that's because it's a fantastic story! This is a full game, no question. The upgrades systems are well thought out, the new additions to the unit lineups are exceptionally fun, and what little time was spent playing as the other races made me eager for the expansions. I don't often buy video games when they're released. If I do buy a game I usually wait a year or two, but I will...

Nelson (Holt Wood, Dorset UK) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Mac/PC DVD-ROM) (Computer Game) Being an American living in the UK I purchased this game to play against my friends in the US. Generally I am happy with Blizzard as they support multiple operating systems off a single installation disk, but now I am disappointed. Not only have they stopped supporting direct IP address multiplayer gaming but they have also region locked the CD Keys so that someone with a european copy of the title cannot play against someone in another region. I understand that there may be latency issues in such game play but that should be up to the customer to decide whether is acceptable or not. Battle.net 2.0 is a real disappointment.As far as single player game play is concerned I wasn't much impressed. The game graphics are an improvement over Starcraft 1 and there is a continuation of the storyline, but nothing significant. If you liked the original and would like to play it with updated graphics then this title is for you. |
