to me:

its serioulsy unbelievable... it took me a while to enjoy it as much as I do now- its definitely deeper than it first appears.

the multiplayer / campaign / music / graphics... just top notch.

oh, and the armory rocks- haha.

amazing single player! Multiplayer is good, but mechanics feel outdated imo. Such as no formations, no scatter hotkey, like in C&C, sc2 is better than c&c imo, BUT c&c had WAY better micro mechanics hands down, just the strategy part and balance issues with cc isnt that great.

I wouldn't go as far as to say It's "Amazing, Greatness" pant wetting experience .. Or anything a long those lines. And it's better than "quite good". It's sort of in between those two.

Multiplayer is very good. But single player was a missed oppertunity, I don't think the whole SC2 split into three games thing really worked. The single player of WOL did not feel complete.

I'm not really into strategy games, but I purchased SC2 and found the single player campaign to be amazing. I've played it through twice and might do a third run in a few weeks. The story might not have any real big surprises but it's well written, voice acting is incredible and so are the cut scenes. Multiplayer is pretty nice but I'm really bad at it and I prefer FPS gaming online :)

i'd say quite good, the only thing holding it from greatness is that a tank can be taken down by regular machinegun fire.

A sig and protrait doesn't make someone biased :P If he worked at Blizzard or profited/gained from the release of Starcraft 2 and its ratings - then he'd be biased. Or if it's the first PC Game he played, he'd be biased. You can't be biased just because you like something enough to make a sig and avatar of it.

i only play the SP...dont like online. yes i know i doing it wrong :P. i was very surprised though. to be honest i was expecting just lots of levels where you build up a base and clear the map...or destroy another base. what i got was a game with plenty of variety and new ideas pouring in after every level. looking forward to the second part when i retire from work at 75 (im currently 26). sadly i wont live to see the final part but well...its blizzard. gotta love em :).

The only RTS series i've ever played was Starcraft :P Maybe its because I started with Starcraft, after playing it I didn't want to play any other RTS.

Got to top diamond then got bored... now I play DotA on it :P It's a great game though. But RTS games get way too repetitive for me. When you play 10-15+ matches a day at 10-15 minutes each it gets brain numbingly boring.

Well I guess it did it's job then. Every game gets boring sooner or later, but if you played all the SP and all those matches, it has given you plenty hours of fun...

I enjoyed it though switched back to Warcraft 3 for multiplayer. I'll probably check it out again when it gets better custom maps. It just seemed too much like the original starcraft I didn't even finish the campaign.

Yeah true, like another poster said, you are playing too much U ADDICT !!! lol.... I switch between my games. When one gets bored I play another.... Same thing happened to me with CoD4 MP, I couldn't stop playing and it got boring. I went back to it months later and it was fun again....

I WANT to play the MP but I am afraid. I am not very good at RTS. I finished the SP Campaign but had to on CASUAL, since some missions were too hard for me (lol). Will I get smashed online? I only know how to play with Terran too....are they underpowered?

I just feel (when I play SP of course) that the Zerg have the whole regenerating thing.... and the Protoss have the whole "warp in" thing.... so Terran always feel underpowered against them....

What happens if someone disconnects on purpose when they are loosing? Does it give you the winning points and give him the looser points?

Terran are actually considered to be overpowered. And if someone disconnects they lose the game and get deducated points. You are given points for the win aswell. Don't fall for all that bs people say though, Terran is not overpowered. If anything Protoss need some looking at right now.

I was scared to start my matches online aswell. But when I got into it more and more it got easier. I was in the top 200 list for NA for a few weeks before I stopped playing 1v1. You just need to take that first step and do it :) They also give you 50? Practice matches that do not count in your overall ranking later and are played at a slower pace with destructible rocks preventing rushes to your base for learning.

If you don't want to do the practice matches then you will have 5 placement matches against 5 dfifferent leagued players and they will place you in the best league for your skill level. You should almost always be playing people of similar skill level.

I find it to be one of the best RTS I've played, after playing 3 SP matches I went on to play MP. Played 10 or so so far and lost all of 'em(1v1) :P, but I'm learning. Now I'm able to hold up longer against enemies.

It is a fantastic package with alot to offer. my only gripe was with its SP (not that it was only 1 campaign, but moreso how it presented itself). and minor Battlenet woes.

The gameplay was incredibly fun, but I thought the writing in the campaign was rather shoddy - especially in dialogue terms.

I'd give it a 75 out of 100.

I've put a little over 20 hours on the game using a friends copy; there's no way I'm paying $60 for a video game when the devs are already going make millions, and millions, and millions of dollars in pure profit even if they charged $50 per unit.

Rant aside, I feel the game represents no major improvemt over the first to warrent a 10 year wait. It's a good game, but it's way too much like the old for me to think of it as anything other than an expansion. The graphics could have been WAY better; What happened to the amazing CGI videos; Single player was super short and only took me like 9 or 10 hours to complete; online play has a limited unit selection; online connection is required. The real star of Starcraft II in my opinion is the new battle.net. The improvements to the online connectivity are the only thing that I was taken-back with in Starcraft II.

So if a dev creates a great game and deserves people to buy their game, you won't....?
