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

Advantages: New units, maps, campaigns, music and storyline
Disadvantages: Doesn't add anything for people who didn't enjoy Starcraft, lots of maps are already available to freely download off the internet (although not always of such a high standard)

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 ...

Advantages: Addictive as hell, fun, fantastic multiplayer scene
Disadvantages: Blizzard don't like high game resolutions

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 ... Read review

Advantages: The three sides to the Battles
Disadvantages: Very hard to master

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Good for multi playing
Disadvantages: Too easy

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Good for starcraft fans.....some new strategies to come up with
Disadvantages: Will get boring after a short while

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 ... Read review
