StarCraft: Brood War Add-On (PC)

Starcraft is a futuristic real-time strategy game in which the player can choose to play as one of three races, the Protoss, a hypersentient warrior race with advanced military technology and a strict code of honour, the Zerg, a brainless canibalistic swarm of fleshy and venemous abominations controlled by a hive mind, and the Terrans, the remainder of the human race. Despite modestly calling itself an 'expansion pack,' Starcraft - Brood Wars could ...
...Starcraft left off, it has three more campaigns for each species which actually contain more levels than the original itself, as well as new characters and units for each race. There are only seven new units, but too often in RTS expansion packs has the introduction of a new race or a plethora of new units done a lot of damage to the most important aspect of real-time-strategy - The balance. Here is a list of the new units: Terran Medic - A unit ...

Review of StarCraft: Brood War Add-On (PC)

Starcraft: Brood War is the expansion to the extremely popular game Starcraft. With new campaigns, new map styles, new maps, new cinematic scenes and new units it really does add quite a bit to the game, but not enough to appeal to people who aren't already fans of the original game. --Storyline-- Continuing on from the end of the starcraft storyline (so please skip this storyline section if you don't want to know what happens) the game tells the ...
...Protoss and Zerg races. The Zerg hive is shattered and fierce in-fighting is taking place, during which Kerrigan the Queen of Blades is slowly gathering power and hopes to gain revenge over the man who betrayed her. This man, Terran Emperor Mengsk who through her betrayal and the terran's fear of their survival has gained total control over the terran colonies must face her threat while at the same time facing a conspiracy taking place within his ...

Ever since playing Starcraft and discovering one of the best strategy games I could ever imagine, people have been waiting for Broodwars to arrive. Broodwars is a must for all Starcraft fans. The new units, maps, scenarios, options make for a game that is hard to put down. As always the add-on keeps the best gameplay you can get and adds a hell of a lot more. Not only this but the beautiful animated scenes also make for a single player game that ...
...had one complaint about this game, it would be that the game resolution cannot be changed - Blizzard is constantly pumping out games with a constant resolution of 640x480, even in its latest games like Diablo2. Although this adds fairness to the game (a player on a higher res cannot see more of the map etc) it looks terrible on my 19" monitor. Apart from this, the game itself is perfect in almost every other detail. So, for all those people who ...

Starcraft is one of the few games that got me hooked straight away I normal move on once I’ve completed them but with the Broodwars expansion set and the excellent but hard to use level editor makes it able to make your own single player level campaigns and makes excellent multiplayer facility. The three sides make the game have extra dimensions because it is easy to play but hard to master. The only major problem is the games can often tern into ...

Review of StarCraft: Brood War Add-On (PC)

StarCraft is a brilliant and very enjoyable game... with a choice of 3 species including Terran, Protoss and Zerg. I think that the zergs are best for multi-players games with lurkers as a good source of ground defence. Plus the zerg can regenerate. Protoss are good for air attack, scouts have excellent air to air missiles and the carriers, well what can I say but, HAHAHAHA... Terrans have good ground attack with the siege tanks, an amazingly long ...

Review of StarCraft: Brood War Add-On (PC)

Can Blizzard come up with something original other than more add ons with silly units. Why not allow players to control more units rather than having a cap of 200, or more races ? Why not come up with a completely new race ? Why not improve on the damn silly graphics ? Broodwars is fun ..... for a while...... after which it sinks in that it was no different from the original starcraft except 3 or 4 more new units to toy around with. So starcraft ...

...played Starcraf and read about Starcraft: Brood Wars I was very happy becouse SC (Starcraft) is very good game playing single game o multiplayer. If you play strategies you should try this game.System Rrquiments are low. You can play it if you have PI 90Mhz 16MB ram and Windows 95. This games also includes "campaign editor". You can creat your own map and play a sigle game. Too bad that you can't play on your own created map on the net :(. But this ...

StarCraft is a real time stratagy game, successor of the runaway Blizzard hits Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. Starcraft offers 3 races with completely unique tech-trees, about 45 units and then a myriad of researches and upgrades diversifying even more. The add-on pack, BroodWars, adds 7 new units and many new researches, as well as three full length campaigns. StarCraft is set three centaries into the future, in a ...

By the BroodWars campaigns, the Terran Confederacy has been brought down from within an replaced by the Terran Dominion, and the Terran and Protoss have won short respite by destroying the overmind, controller of the zerg. However, the Protoss homeworld, Aiur, is completely destroyed, and from the ashes rises a new evil: Kerrigan, ...

This add-on to Star Craft is excellent, with a whole load of new levels and units. This has made it even more of a playable game, and makes playing better as you can develop strategies and allie with others to destroy the enemy. There is also a map creator, where you can create your own maps and even your own scenarios, but this is a little complicated to use, though can be learnt quite easily. i just use it to desgin maps with plently of resources, ...

This super addon has increased the gameplay of the game immensly. Only the slightest of changes and not to mention the new units have made this game the top in Multiplayer strategy games. 7 new units have been inserted into the game - two for Zerg, two for Terran, and 3 for Protoss. These new units have improved the game by making each team stronger in places where they were weak before (not saying they now don't have weaknesses - but it is possible ...
...instance. Before Zerg had a weak air-to-air attack (apart from the kamikaze scorge), but now they can make good air attacks - meaning that you have more options to take when attacking another side. Terran have been helped out a lot with the fact that they can now repair their infantry with the Medic. Protoss on the other hand have been made very powerful now - with the great Dark templar and the ability to mind control another teams unit with the ...

1. first off this game is very very old. But is very popular in Asia. It is my favorite game of all time. 2. second the graphics are horrible but for the time they were created i find these graphics amazing! sometimes i prefer bad graphics easy to run and no problems with running the game. it is not like crysis where it takes a 700 dollar computer to run. you can run this game on a rock if you wanted to. 3. sound not so good but everyone's favorite ...
...awesome it sounds to kill about 50 of them. 4. Difficult game. very difficult to play online and single player. This game was made before warcraft 3. so game play and other functions used to maximize micro are not in the game. so little harder to do simpler functions 5. Overall great game very hard but just takes practice. Many people have played this game for years. Considering it was made in around 2000. I would recommend this game to anyone ...

This add on is very good because I believe that it progresses the game furthur into the idea of resource managament and also it ment that people couldn't just storm their enemies with la5rge siege tanks because they had to be aware of the gfact that zerg had lurkers which demolished tanks because the tanks were defenceless against the lurkers. I belive that this game deserves all of the credit that it has got so far and more. I would definately recommedn ...

Starcraft: Broodwar is quite possibly one of the best add-ons ever made. Blizzard has managed to keep the delicate balance of Terran, Protoss, and Zerg even despite the addition of six (maybe 7) new units. Also take into account the sheer age of Starcraft, at almost 3 three years of age most video game tend to crawl up and die, yet with the genius implementation of battle.net players can compete with each other and thus keep the game alive. This ...

This is a game that if you liked Command & Conquer, you'll love this one. You can challenge your friends and see how good you really are. You can also play against the computer in a custom game if you get bored of the missions, and you can also get heroes and special units to help you become supreme ruler of the galaxy! Starcraft is for the gamer who won't give up when it's hard (and trust me, it can get pretty hard) and will have fun playing it ...
...Terran-Humans Zerg-Buglike creatures Protoss-Aliens. All have pros and cons with their race and against other races. It will bring hours of play time and all levels are easily passible no matter what you think. You just have to know how to use your men and spend your "money" wisely. This game makes you think and develops a craving for more strategy games. A good game to spend your money on. ...
