So is this better than Warcraft?

User Rating: 8.5 | Starcraft PC
Well that depends. Starcraft plays so similar to the Warcraft games it's kind of hard to differentiate them. Thankfully this is all science ficition. You know, set in outer space with humans versus aliens versus cyborgs. That's pretty obvious seeing how the game is called Starcraft. Though I can't help but notice all of Blizzard's RTS games end with Craft. So if you've played any of the original Warcraft games you'll immediately get into this. Starcraft doesn't play from a birds eye view like Warcraft 2. Instead it's isometric like the Command and Conquer games. It's a great game to look at and it plays really well. The multiplayer is fantastic and is the reason why the game is still being played to this day. The only flaw I believe the game has its length. It's painfully short with only 3 proper campaigns to go through. However, the story is excellent thanks to some cool writing, voice acting and great sound effects and evocative music. The sequel is out soon and for those who wish to know what's so great about Starcraft should definitely check this out. It's also good for fans of the RTS genre. I recommend it.
