  • Units and gameplay mechanics distinguish each race
  • 3D-graphics engine with support for visual effects and massive unit and army sizes
  • Full multiplayer support, with competitive features and matchmaking utilities available through Battle.net

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the sequel to Blizzard Entertainment’s 1998 hit StarCraft, which has been hailed by players and critics worldwide as one of the top real-time strategy games of all time. StarCraft II will once again center on the clash between the protoss, terrans, and zerg, with each side deploying favorite units from the original StarCraft, along with numerous upgraded and brand-new units and abilities that allow for fresh tactics and strategies. The game’s new 3D-graphics engine maintains the speed and responsive control of its predecessor while rendering hundreds of units onscreen for massive battles. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty’s solo campaign will continue the epic saga where it left off in StarCraft: Brood War. The storyline chronicles the exploits of marshal-turned-rebel-leader Jim Raynor and features both familiar faces and new heroes. Players will be able to tailor the experience, choosing their own mission path and selecting technology and research upgrad

I just finished playing the single player missions. This is a great game and a lot of fun to play. The reason I am giving it three stars is purely due to the irritation I experienced getting it installed and then running it.

1. After buying the digital code download it took me several minutes to realize there was no way to download this game from Amazon’s game download system. You have to get it directly from Blizzard which also requires downloading and installing Battle.net and having it constantly running on your computer while you play the game.
2. To get it from Blizzard you don’t just have to provide the code you’ve already purchased, you also have to create a Battle.net account. This account haunted me for the rest of my experience playing the game. Half the time I launched the game it wouldn’t authenticate me and I had to quit it and relaunch. I’d be a little more sympathetic to this, but I wasn’t trying to log in to Battle.net to play online…I was just trying to play the single player missions already installed on my computer. Blizzard, in the future please don’t require a Battle.net sign in just to launch the game. At least wait until I try to connect to play online to authenticate me.

Good game for multiplayer, October 21, 2015

As far as video games go, I have played a lot. PC games, not nearly as much. But this game is a ton of fun! The campaign is good, but I think it’s real value is in the multiplayer.

My advice: Get this game with a couple of friends and play together. Makes it more enjoyable

Waited years till the price was right, yes I’m patient. Got it for 10 bucks. Played the original, really close to same game play, which is good. Very enjoyable game so far in my limited play thus far.
