Naysayers be warned. SC3 -is- better than the last two games. I am overwhelmed, by the depth here!!
This game is oceans-deep! Good lord, I'm impressed, actually i'm overwhelmed! You can tweak almost everything and there are more modes of play than i can count thus far.
The character models are on par (at least) w/ SC2, naysayers stand corrected. hee hee.
I haven't gotten into chronicles of the sword yet, but it looks very promising -and- it gives you a practical reason to make a fighter other than the entertainment value of it.
Hands down one of the series best entries to date, and definitely my personal favorite.
