For those who never tried Starcraft 1 and are not sure if they want to buy Starcraft 2 because you don't really know much about SC 1, I played the beta of Starcraft 2 because my cousins got me a Cd-key. Before I've started to play the beta, I'd never played the first Starcraft and I'd only saw my friend playing one or two times. My only thoughts about this game were: "The graphics are horrible... not for me". I still tried the beta because this time, the graphics are pretty damn good. I've always loved RTS such as Red Alert 2, AoE 2-3, C&C 3, recently in WH 40k: DoW 2 and so on, but the Starcraft universe was all new to me.
People, buy this game. Starcraft 2 is going to be amazing. When the first phase of the beta of SC 2 was closed, I decided to give a shot to SC 1 and I didn't like it at all! Once you've played a recent RTS, it is hard to come back to an old RTS such as SC 1 because the graphics are pretty old and the gameplay is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. But Starcraft 2 plays 100x better and looks 1000x better. So even if you didn't like the 1st Starcraft or didn't know or play it, it doesn't matter because SC 2 is a totally different experience and it is way better (imo). I can't tell about the Single Player campaign but the story seems very well written and presented with nice cinematics, but the multiplayer was a lot of fun!
BTW, to stay in the topic, I got it pre-ordered and I can't wait to play it! I can't wait to see what kind of mods we will have! (This Final fantasy thing looks cool! I hope it won't be a simple tease!)
sorry for my english...
BUY IT!
