When Starcraft was released 1998, no one could forsee this being one of the worlds,most popular games to date.The game campaign had you choosing from Terran (humans) Protoss (looks like predators) and Zerg (alien like cretures) It did'nt have many new elements in terms of gameplay, though it played well and the game has become nothing less then a cult legend. The game proceeded with great sucess, and is till this day one of the worlds most sold games. You control your forces by marking them, and moving them too their goal, building by gathering resources and gas, the mission is usually get from A to B,survive for a set amount of time or kill the opposing forces.Each of the factions had diffrent ways of building, weaknesses and strengths. Like the Zerg uses small larvas that transform into soldiers, thay again can mutate into organic lairs. While the Protoss warp stuff in where they need it, so you can use your builders to harvest minerals and gas without having to spare one to build. The Terran can repair their vessels, and they can make their buildings go airborn. The graphics are good even though it's been years since it's release.Even the lipsynqing isn't too bad. You have a third person view of the characters (godview I call it, since you see everything from above.) The characters are good looking and the enviroments are good too. The game's soundtrack is perfect, it seems too fit to any situation. Not only that, the game also has voicing making it almost unique for it's time.You have explosions, sword swinging,gunfire etc. which bring more depth to the game. The unit say all kinds of stuff when you select them for an action, though more variation in their talking would be preferable. Everyone knows it isn't Starcrafts campaign mode that's so facinating. It's the multiplayer online mode. As it gives you an endless variety of maps, this game can give you hours and hours of entertainment.The game is definetly worth the money if you like these types of games. As it can be purchased for only a few bucks now a days.The game is quite interactive as you can team up with friends and make clans. If you play alot you can get quite the cult status online. People can say stuff like:"OMFG,we're playing against Fateless???S***" and things like that when you get known. Which is quite cool. Starcraft is an enjoyable game with tons of variation and interactivety, if you ever see it pick it up,play,enjoy. Fans of Age of Empires will like this even more, if thei're after a bit more action.
