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 level in the single player missions. The races also have totally different units, buildings and playing strategies and tactics.
The marines are the easiest to start off with, the zerg are next difficult and then the protoss being the hardest. The story lines for each are very involving and do not look cocked up when you play the game, each race has a main enemy and encounters there own problems to survive.
The graphics are excellent, the blood effects and explosions are top class, the sounds are very good too. The game is very good to play online, its still extremely popular with many people opting for different races as their favourite online. Some of the levels require a bit of thinking and can be completed using a number of strategies but you will soon learn with one you familerize with best.
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!

Review of StarCraft (PC)
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.
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)
