Starcraft

With a deep strategy that makes use of Warcraft II elements, Starcraft is an amazing achievement.

As a C&C fan, I see that Command & Conquer has met its match with Starcraft, also a sci-fi RTS, and it comes with a hefty amount of cinematics to beef up its value and reputation as one of the leading pioneers of real-time strategy classics.

Having 3 very different factions with their own unique strategy aspects and broad tech trees, Starcraft offers a higher gaming value than some competitors of the same genre at that time. Heavily borrowed from Warcraft2's tactics, Starcraft features a unique 'research upgrades' element that finds a lot of fans loving it. "Yamato Cannon" is my all-time fave.

However, for gamers new to the RTS genre, Starcraft may be a tad too complex for them to really appreciate it, and that's where C&C or Red Alert's straightforwardness shines. But for veteran RTS fans, Starcraft is a fine classic that should uphold its charm even till now.
