distinct races in StarCraft have unique
capabilities and strategies. Everyone still
competes in the RTS genre's typical race for
resources, but that's the only shared trait.
Terrans can move their bulky mechanised bases as
necessary, while the reptilian Zerg grow their
colonies and warriors from mutating larvae.
Meanwhile, the noble Protoss warp in equipment
from their home world using psionic powers.  Not
only does game maker Blizzard juggle the races'
playability and match it with superb art and sound
effects, it also weaves together an engrossing
three-act plot. Early on, as a Terran magistrate,
you spend a breathtaking 30 minutes defending
against a Zerg onslaught. As the story unfolds
around you, you'll experience the Zerg's hive
mentality and decipher the mysterious Protoss by
the game's dramatic conclusion.  Missions vary in
scope and are effectively framed with dialogue,
chapter screens and in-mission exposition.
Multiplayer games are also very well represented
by Blizzard's own free Battle.net service. If
you'd rather play over a local area network,
StarCraft will generously "spawn" up to seven
copies so your friends can join in.  In keeping
with StarCraft's groundbreaking design, Brood War
presents you with three sides of a galactic
conflict. Scheming humans, insidious Zerg and
proud Protoss collide again, with stunning new
cinematics setting the stage. Old friends and foes
and ominous new arrivals give the story a
breakneck pace, while a handful of additions to
each race's arsenal makes for tense battles. Brood
War also features stellar new environments and
ambient art, as well as more than 100 additional
multiplayer maps.  Some missions require a bit of
finesse, breaking the resource-gathering routine
while making good use of the new units. Humans now
have Valkyrie missile frigates as well as medics
who automatically try to heal your grunts. New for
the Zerg air force is the acid-spewing Devourer;
the new Lurker unit provides heavy-duty
(under)ground support. Along with the Corsair
fighter, the Protoss re-enter the fray with Dark
Templar, which can merge to form the devastating
Dark Archon. Unfortunately, units old and new
still suffer from weak artificial intelligence in
path finding. Real-time strategy games don't get
any more epic or any more satisfying. --Jack

Review of StarCraft (PC) by dudeglove

Advantages: Easy To Get Into
Disadvantages: Hard To Get Out Of

...boys playing video games]. StarCraft is in the same vein as “Command & Conquer”, or “Total Annihilation”. This genre is referred to as “Real Time Strategy”. You have total control over your forces. There are three main things to do in these games: Harvest, Build and Destroy. Harvesting means acquiring resources so you can Build. Building your forces up enough in turn allows you to finally Destroy whatever needs destroying. Simple really, but strategy ...
...the strategy bit abridged. StarCraft has two main modes of play: Single Player and Multiplayer. In Single Player, you go on a campaign in a galaxy far far away with each race. These races are Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Naturally these names mean nothing to you, so I best explain. Each race - regardless of name - always has a central node to their base where minerals are gathered. They not only take in the two types of minerals: Crystals and Gas, ... Read review

Best of its genre
Review of StarCraft (PC) by Defiler

Advantages: Different races offering different play styles, brilliant real-time strategy game, graphics are still good despite its age.
Disadvantages: Some people may be put off by its age, but you shouldn't be.

...the difference between each on starcraft is immense. Other than the obvious visual look (Terrans are mechanical, Protoss technological and Zerg organic), each race has completely different units and strategies that can be employed. Many things are different, from how unit limits are determined to how construction takes place. I will outline many of the differences below (though you'll probably want to look somewhere else to find out all of them). ...
...buildings, this unit needs to be present during the entire building operation. Unit limits are determined by the number of supply depots you use. Building can take place anywhere. Unit production and toughness is medium, quicker but weaker than Protoss, but slower and more powerful than Zerg. Many major buildings can actually be moved, this is great if an area is likely to be completely destroyed as you can minimise loss. Overall this is a balanced ... Read review

A battle of three species
Review of StarCraft (PC) by Petriol

Advantages: Great fun to master
Disadvantages: can be very

...time developing there games and starcraft was no exeption. They were and never have been to worried about missing deadlines due to there ability to resit getting the game out no the market as soon as possible then fix it with patches later on. The game has needed several patches to balance out some unit atributes and to sort out the internet gaming side through battlenet, but the original game has stayed the same. To the game play and the what its ...
...really be discovered by playing the game, so play it and find out!! In conclusion, starcraft is a great game that if played correctly is more than just a tank rush and is a lot of fun to play in multiplayer mode after the single player has been completed. ... Read review

Starcraft a real craft of art.
Review of StarCraft (PC) by totalweb

Advantages: Great storyline, top graphics and effects, brilliant gameplay
Disadvantages: bit old but not bad in any way, possibly hard to get hold of

I got Starcraft a long time ago, played it and then for some reason left it before i completed it. I have recently found it on my shelf and thought to myself: "What the hell, I remember this game being something like starship troopers hmmm sounds cool lets play!" And that thought is true the game acts like the film starship troopers. Their are 3 races, human marines, zerg aliens and protosss advanced humanoids. Each race has a different difficulty ...
...The game also comes with a level editor to make maps for online play and multiplayer battles etc. STARCRAFT is an excellent strategy game, its up their with the best of them like command and conquer 2. If you can get hold of this game, get it NOW! ... Read review
