Except balance (For now) There's no doubt about it though, if you loved SC1, you'll love SC2.

terrans are a little bit overpowered but thats only because its early in. zerg users seem to have adapted and are now getting better. the balance is much better compared to the early days of warcraft 3 and starcraft

Don't take the multiplayer seriously, and you'll find it one of the best RTS games you've ever played. ;)

I agree

I was against them pricing SC2 at $60 a few years back but now i say its well worth the $60 and they probably coulda priced it at $80 and i would still buy it.

Yeah Starcraft was pretty bad during the beginning. I'm sure Zerg users will be given a break once Swarm comes out. Everything should be gravy once the final Exp comes out.

I never played the first Starcraft and I picked up the second about a week ago and I love it. I'm only about 5 missions in and I haven't even tried the multiplayer or just playing against the computer.

im sure people will figure out how to use the zerg pretty soon. its just that the classical way of playing zergs is not as effective anymore. but sme of the best players right now are zerg. Idra (greg fields) for example

Mass Effect 2 is the only game that comes close to the level of enjoyment I've experienced in a game this year.

I find the game extremly boring. I am on the 16 campain mission. I cant bring myself to finish it, Itried again today and beat a protos mission. seems I can only beat 1 at a time before I shut it off. I want to like it,but I guess rts games are not my thing, I dont see where the fun is at. You mine minerials build army and move around the map killing anything in the way, it is point click like torch light. gameplay does not satify me.

i agree campagne isn't really that awesome imo Where the game really shines is the online multiplayer. Never played such a competive (correct spelling? ;P ) game in my life. It's insane what type of strategies you are able to pull off in this game. Never played a deeper multiplayer game ever.

Finally people are not afraid to be out spoken about "Teh Stracraft 2"

Im one of the few people since the beginning, thought that the Multiplayer was great but the single player Campaign was horrible. Absolutely did not live up to what Blizzard promised everyone. I really hate how the single player has so many awful (yes awful) flaws yet no one cares because of how great the multiplayer is. I find that ridiculous.... especially considering thats the reason why Blizzard split the game into 3 separate games.

What? many people have been outspoken from the start about SC2, where have you been? Every game has its haters and Blizz had no chance of pleasing eveybody. FACT is you are all in the minority, most people love this game, me included. Im a massive Relic fan too.

SC2 is already a classic, will go down as one of, if not the, greatest RTS games ever and one of the best games this gen. Just deal with it.

it is hte best RTS this gen, but the campaign is dreadful, story wise, it's great, but it's REALLY boring to play through, especially if you play league matches a lot.

I can deal with it just fine. I could see how it could be a great game to some, just not to me.

Metacritic laughs at you because they round that to an 81. Take that Konxumer! :P Anyway I still need to try it, I could get it but I've got other things to spend my money on that I care about more.

Again you are in the minority. Most love the Campaign. I did. I'll admit i loved DoW more but that is just my taste, to say it's dreadfull is just wrong. You may not like it, that is fine but it is far, very far from dreadful. Sorry, i cant even say this is just my opinion, too many people, reviewers too agree with me. You are wrong, plain and simple.

zerg is imba right now, and will likely stay that way, but what can ya do?

N30F3N1X

Terrans are imba, not Zerg.

oh no you di'nt!

I really disagree with Terran being imba. TvP is great, it was just TvZ that seemed to have some problems but i still don't agree with what some people have been saying. Some of the new tricks zerg are discovering(like how to deal with thors w mutas) or how incredibly useful ultras can be after people finally decided to give them a chance is showing that things really are pretty darn fine.

anyways, SC2 is beyond incredible. If you liked SC:BW, i don't see why you wouldn't love SC2.
