Ok.. I am not being not overly sensitive when I say this but... IF YOU DO NOT BUY THIS GAME THERE IS SOMTHING WRONG WITH YOU! THIS IS THE BEST STRATEGY GAME EVER! CAN YOU DIG IT!

StarCraft - Much more than "WarCraft in Space"

Great storylines, wonderful cutscenes, and excellent dialogue combine to make one of the best 'build and conquer' games there is. Add the Brood War pack and you have got yourself one powerful (and *very* fun) gaming experience. A MUST for any serious gamer's game library!

The #1 Game I have ever played

If you enjoy playing strategy games, like things that relate to action, outer space, the future, or aliens, you gotta get your hands on this. Starcraft lets you play as three different, powerful species that all have one goal: to rule the universe. This game also lets you use codes. I also enjoy the multiplayer mode. So remember, if you want to buy a good game for your PC, you gotta have Starcraft!

Best computer game i ever played

Starcraft is definetly the best computer game for you if you like stratagy games. Its simply the best stratagy game available. With free internet gaming with thousands of other players you cant beat it. A MUST BUY

Entertaining yet tedious at times...

The cinematics of this game are really what make this game good. The voice overs are well done, although you can tell if you look hard enough where voice and mouth don't match. The ending to this game was thoroughly enjoyable I will admit, and worth all the hair-pulling and yelling when a mission fails, lol. If you enjoy strategy games... well, it was harder for me to think of strategy with fighting alien hordes, lol... however I can say that at times you stare at the screen awaiting an onslaught that never seems to happen, just as your about to fall asleep at your monitor... bam! Surrounded by a teaming mass of aliens! Enjoy, and don't forget the expansions available!

Fun, from the start, to the never-end!

Single player is very fun and most recommended for the very beginners. But, completing the single player is completely unnecessary, for it doesn't begin to prepare you for the EXTRAORDINARY online gaming experience. Although playing online is free, I would GLADLY pay the price of this game as a monthly fee if need be! A little about the game.. you start off with a single building for your base. As the game progresses you build yourself a bigger base and, depending on the game type(which there are plenty of), you make forces to attack and defend. Too much fun to be able to explain why!

Graphics: (4/5) - Would be 8/5 when this first came out!
Gameplay: (5/5) - Very smoothe, even with 56k(online).
Online play: (5/5) - The best of the best!
Overall: (5/5) - Get this game if it's the only game you'll ever own! I've replaced my CD 3 times now in 4 years because of extensive gameplay! The price is righter than right I would have payed 3x the price!

The best game of all time

This game is astounding. It and the expansion have blown me away for almost a year, and the fun doesn't run out.The reason no one ever gets tired of this amazing game is its diversity and re-playability. Each race is extremely unique. Unlike many other strategy games *cough age of empires cough* none of the races are similar. The Terrans are the most original. Some of their special features are the ability to lift off building, ability to build anywhere, nukes, and cloaking. The extremely advanced alien race known as the Protoss are very powerful. They have the most powerful units, even though they are expensive. They possess many powerful spellcasters and the mighty carrier, not to mention the probe's ability to open warp rifts then go back to work. The biological Zerg are a force to be reckoned with. Their hatcheries can produce 3 units at a time, so that they can create massive armies in a short amount of time.
Another reason why this game is so great is StarEdit. With this, you can create your own maps. I really enjoy this and I have made a few of my own, one of which is quite popular with my friends.
The final and probably greatest thing about starcraft is battle.net. This allows you to play online with up to 7 other players. You can play normal games, ladder games to show true skill, and team games. You can even play Map Settings games. They completely change the game. Units, maps, and everything else are completely altered. Objectives change, making this very interesting.
All in all, Starcraft and the expansion set are the greatest games of all time. Anyone would enjoy them.

Best RTS Game Ever!!!

I Play StarCraft All The Time -- It's Awesome!

Pros:
*Has A Good Map Maker
*Sweet Multiplayer -- All You Need Is A Connection To The Internet
*Made By Blizzard Entertainment -- The Same Company That Makes Diablo

Cons:
*Multiplayer On Battle.net Has Banner Ads (Just For Blizzard Stuff Though)
[No Other Cons]

Details:
*"Brood War Expansion Set" Just Makes It Better.

*I Suggest You Get "StarCraft Battle Chest" -- It Comes With StarCraft "StarCraft Brood War" And Strategy Guide(s).

*Some Maps Are Really Easy; But Others Are HARD -- Giving A Large Opportunity For Many Skill Levels + Good Tutorials

Bottomline:
*Really Fun!
*I Highly Recommend This Game To Anyone Looking For A Great RTS.

I LOVE this game!

I played this game years ago and was hooked emmediately. Blizzard has never let me down as one of thier customers and I will gladly pay full price for any of thier games(as opposed to waiting for the game to hit the bargain bin). This game still holds true as an exciting experience, single player or multi. I just bought a new computer and cant wait to play over the LAN. This game is easily better than some of the games that are comming out lately. Blizzard has such a user friendly attitude that they give you the option to copy the games multiplayer data onto 7 other computers to play on the LAN, unlike another game I purchased last week that wants you to buy a whole new copy to play in your own house.
Anyway, the replay value for this game is higher than any I have ever played. This is one of the first games i ever bought for my PC and I love it still. The gameplay is great with 3 diverse races that demand various strategies to master. New units are eased into your missions and the game is easy to learn. The game doesnt necessarily boast screaming 3d graphics like todays market, but then, todays market isnt all that great. The game is pleasing to watch and listen to. The developers have included plenty of unit responses and command acknowlagments that you will not get bored clicking on your units. Click on them enough times in a row and BLizzards crew have added funny responses or strange saying to the units, like in warcraft. The sound is awesome. The music is good, never gets boring, and keeps you in the action.
To top it al off, I think that Blizzard is really devoted to thier fans and customers, unlike some other greedy corporate shmucks. Blizzard has always been on top of thier games online, trying to make DiabloII un-hackable so players could enjouy it more. Little things like that show and buyers notice these things. I will not hesitate to give them my money for Warcraft3 or any of thier new games because they have a perfect track record with me so far. Check out DiabloII and the expansions for Starcraft and DiabloII. Youll never be ripped off by Blizzard.

Best strategy game ever made!

Ok, I'm biased. I've played the whole series: Warcraft, Warcraft II, Starcraft, SC Brood War, and SC Insurrection. I hate to admit it, but I've played Starcraft through 8 times. Yes, 8 times! That's 240 missions of Starcraft. Let me put it this way: Starcraft is so good, that any other game I've played before or since, pales in comparison. And I've played a hundred others. If you ever want to enjoy other games, don't buy this one. It sets such a high standard of involvement and excitement, that nothing else comes close. The introductory video alone is absolutely awesome! The trouble is, I haven't been able to really enjoy any other game since. And I won't until Starcraft 2 (if there ever is such a game) comes out.
