This is such an incredibly entertaining game that I really don't know where to start. Unlike the majority of strategy games I've played, Starcraft has an endearing and wonderful storyline; the game features some truly outstanding cut scenes and the level of detail Blizzard put into it really shows. The story is based on the Terran, a group of humans living on a remote planet in the not-so-distant future and their interactions with two alien species: the Protoss and Zerg. The Protoss are a highly evolved and technically advanced race whereas the Zerg are a species seemingly created to breed and overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers. The Zerg are the simplest of creatures, using little technology but are powerful and ruthless just the same. Each species has its own unique feel, sound, look and units, although serving the same general purposes with few exceptions, they vary so much it almost seems like there is a never-ending stream of new units to create over the three races. Maps, like in most strategies, are hidden until revealed by means of exploration, for some reason discovering a Zerg hive or colony is much more exciting than finding the enemy in other strategies. The thought of knowing it's only a matter of time before the Zerg will be coming after your colony if you don't stop their breeding fast enough is thrilling. The game allows you to choose which of the three races you'd like to play; personally I prefer to play the Terran as the Zerg just fit the stereotypical ideal of what the bad guys should look like. Overall, Starcraft is a superb strategy game with amazing shelf-life and replay value. Graphics are quality for the genre and the score and sound effects are done very well. I'd recommend this title for strategy enthusiasts and novices alike. If you have never tried a strategy game before, this is where you should start. Explore, build, invade the enemy and defend your colony for hours and hours of entertainment.
