Starcraft is such a cool game.
The game Starcraft is one of my favorites. I like playing as the Protoss. They have really cool characters even if they look weird. I play this almost every day when I'm bored and play some custom games. The strategy guides are really helpful. They give unit stats, mission help, a counter list, and even cheat codes. In Starcraft there are thirty(30) missions and in Brood War there are twenty-six(26). There is a Campaign Editor where you can make your own Campaign but it does not run on my Mac OS X.
Any Game That's This Good For This Long Deserves 5 Stars
I purchased this game within the week it was released. My Dad and Brother, and several friends also purchased it. The Battle Chest gives you the Starcraft Game, Brood War Expansion, and Strategy Guides which I do not rely on. We still have LAN Games even now (in 2006) with it. Some games never fade or get dull. Those Familliar with Warcraft and Warcraft II, this is basically a 'modern' version of that game with 3 Fully Different races (unlike the Warcraft Orcs and Humans where the only differences were the spells), and is a 'space' setting (most games are actually on the surface of a planet however). Those that aren't familliar with it, basically in a nutshell it is a war game where you build up a base, gather resources, create defenses, and build an offense and plan strategies to take out your opponents, while they are also doing the same thing at the same time. You have a single-player mode where you can play through the games detailed story of the 3 races (Terran, Protoss and Zerz), which is very interesting and full of surprises (and continues in full in Brood War too...which adds new units to the game). Multiplayer...well, doubtful that 2 games will ever be the same, as you can play over a LAN (or Battlenet with players worldwide) with up to 8 players in Free For All, Team Play, and even Player vs Computer. The artificial intelligence is better than that of Warcraft II but still once you know what to expect you can predict the computer opponents. Still single-player campaigns can be tough as you are usually quite outnumbered...especially in Brood War.
This game also has very low (compared to nowadays) system requirements so can run on just about anything (Mac and Windows PC's and even is updated for MacOS X through versiontracker's website) and is truly a 'family gathering' game as it seems to happen around the Holidays a Lot...LAN Gaming with the family, can't beat that!
