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 you would want to work your way through. If I 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 love Starcraft but feel like a small change in its strategic play, try out Broodwars - it will not dissapoint you!

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)
Advantages: New units, campaigns, levels and a fluid plot. Did not tip the balance of units but some cool idea Disadvantages: Requires full working version of Starcraft.
