Definition of the ultimate RTS

User Rating: 9.5 | Starcraft PC
I know this is an older game, but even today I find myself playing it on occasion. For the time period that it came out, it was revolutionary. Blizzard, as usual, created a top notch game that does exactly what every video game strives to do. Starcraft and the upcoming Starcraft 2 will probably go down in history as one of the best RTS series created. The story is compelling, the cinematics both in game and outside in the story line were great(for the technology of that time period). And a fantastic multiplayer online system was created as well. The interface was easy to adjust to and the tools that Blizzard included (map editing, etc.) were phenominal and led to the creation of those classic Battle.net maps that everybody knows. I know when I was younger and used to play this game every day, I had hoped and dreamed (and pestered Blizzard), for a Starcraft 2 Sequal, and I am finally getting it. I hope Starcraft 2 is as good or better than its predecessor, I know it has some big shoes to fill.
