This game is like a nice training tool for beginner RTS players. It gives the basics on how each building can upgrade to produce better unit's. How to maneuvers., etc. The game is definitely easy to play. Yes it is hard when your up against two other computers. They like to "Rush" as they call it. They terrorize you while your still building up your command area. I've went all out before lining my base with cannons (Proton's). It was impenetrable. It's very exciting when you get a large rush when it comes. Hehe. The music is kinda creepy (for it's time I guess) to an extent it's just plain weird. I used to hook up my computer to my girlfriends, and we used to take sides, and try to take on two computers at once. It was great! We had so much fun with the multi player. It's what shes been hooked on for years. This helped her become a dork like me, game like crazy! The races in this game were to few. Having only three. My favorite was always the Proton's. It's so long I'm not sure if it was called that. They had the Humans, and the Zerg. Lol the "horse" overseer (Zerg-looked like a floating brain with veins as legs drooped below LOL). They had special characteristics about each race. Like the Proton's could build faster quantities by actually warping the building in then moving to another area to build instead of waiting for the worker to finish with the first. The other's had to have their worker build until the structure was complete, before they could move on otherwise the building would be left half done. The humans can repair building's, vehicles, and heal their soldiers as well. The other's can't. The Zerg only had the fast mineral harvesting. Their workers (Drones) were able to stack resources much quicker than the others. So you could expect early "rushes" from them because they can get those little dogs after you while your even putting up your first Gas Harvester. The graphics were mediocre, but ok for it's time I suppose. I've put so many hours into this game then! Man! The actual game plays like missions you have to complete on a "fog of war" map style, and you pretty much progress o the map as you get farther. I never really got far with it. Seems this game was a pure on line fun only. This game, and I think Delta Force were the two to start me on on line gaming more. I'd grab this classic for sure!! I love it.

In all that it's worth, I consider StarCraft a classic among all strategy games. The game is great in almost every aspect, and after nearly 10 years, it's still played by lots of people worldwide. Like any BLIZZARD game,... Read Full Review
