Summary: Classic War Game that is FUN FUN FUN
Review: I don't own a lot of games but those from Blizzard I really appreciate. They have a nice way of capturing the fun of playing games. I liked Diablo but didn't find a lot of replay value. This game was a lot of fun playing over and over again. Why can't more games be this well done? I don't like spending a lot of time learing to get started. This one takes off immediatly and you can continue to learn new strategies several hours later. If I had one game this would be it.

Summary: Still the best game ever
Review: I've had this game ever since it came out, and it never gets old. I still play it more than most of my other games and on Bnet people are always making new maps on the included versitle map editor. This game is a classic. It never gets old. Looking forward to Warcraft 3 and hoping a Starcraft 2.

Summary: A Great Expansion to the original
Review: The Original "Starcraft" was a fantastic game. One of the top three best RTS games I have played. It had great maps and scenerios and great units and species. For those of you who are not familiar with the game, the original had too do with three species: The Terran(Humans) who have lived upon several planets in a solar system after there space ships crashed many years before stranding thousands of people. The Prottos, a powerfull race form a planet "Auir" armed with powerfull physical weapons and devastating Phsycic weapons. And Finally the Zerg. A vicious race controlled by a center mastermind know as the "Overmind", who travel across the universe incorpirating every worthy race into there species or destroying them.
Now in the Expansion "Brood War", the overmind is dead and Kerrigan(an infested terran) has become ruler over most of the Zerg.
Brood War has plenty of new stuff. Three new Campaings. Three new Terrain types(Ice world, Desert, Twilight world) and seven new units. The New untis are the following.
Zerg:Lurker. The Hydralisk from the original can now evolve even further to become a "Lurker". These frightfull creatures burrow under the ground and attack by sending out long spiked tentacle out of the ground at any nearby enemy. These are often best used in pairs or threes(or more). Though the Sunken colony(Buildinf from original) does basicly the same thing, the Lurker is hidden from units who are not ditectors and can run away if the going gets rough. Only problem is that it has no above ground defense.
Devourer. In the original the air unit "Mutalisk" could evolve further into a "Guardian". These flying hulks could fire balls of acid and chemicals at untis on the ground and could do great damage in numbers. The only problem was that they could not attack air units. Not the Mutalisk can also evolve into the Devourer. They fire clumps of acid spores at enemy air units. These spores would upon inpact burst off some excess acid which would land on adjecant opponents. They would stick too there targets and eventouly eat through the hull of the ships. Ofcourse these airborne Juggernauts can't attack ground units.
Terran:Medic. In the original queens(and in this one) could infect enemy units with a parasite. These parasites would allow that player(the zerg player) to see what the infected unit would see as if it was his own own unit. Once the parasite was detected there was no way to remove it except by killing the infected unit. Also attacks on terran unit would never heal. Now with the medic, parasites, acid spores, stasic fields and other harmfull item can be removed from untis with Restoration and Units can be healed. Medic can also blind detectors(units who can see ivisible/burrowed units) so as they can not see hidden units. I reccomend that medics be sent out along with almost every group of soldiers. They can be a big help.
Valkarye. These ships fire missle(alot of missles) at enemy air units. One can be dangerous but a group of them can be devastating to enemy fleets.
Protoss:Dark Templar:The Dark templar are indeed powerfull units. They move swiftly and attack vicously and with extreme speed and on top of that they are permenately cloaked. Though they don't have the spells that Templar have they are very powerfull units, however they can, like the templar, join together to become a Dark Archon.
Dark Archon.These Swirling red look-alikes to the Archons do not have an acual attack but they do have powerfull spells like Mind-Link which converts enemy unit to your side(try converting a SCV so you can make terran units and building.), or Mealstrom which traps units in a temporary field or they can turn an enemys own energy agains them to destroy enemies instantly.
Corsair:These new air units are fast is a valuble adition to the fleet. Aswhell as being able to attack it can create a cloud which protects air units from attack from below. This can be very valuble in air raids.
Whell there you have it, Star Craft expansion Brood War. If you have the original than you should buy this. If your new to starcraft than buy both(or but the battle chest). You were be dissapointed. Did you find this review help full. If so please vote

Summary: Brood War
Review: this game is a little better then the first one but the single player was short. if u play on the internet then it will be hard to stay away from the computer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as good
Review: This expantion isnt as good as the first Starcraft because in this you get lurkers and cheapo units which skrews your game play up. I would recomend this but I like The first one better (mostly because people dont slauter me cheaply on battle net) So thats that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Here Ye Here Ye
Review: If any of you reading this review have played a RTS before you must now find your way to the add to shopping cart button and click it. This is the best computer game ever. All of the 3 races are balanced, which is very rare for an RTS and the new units add to the fray of already spectacular killing machines. Also the storyline is one of the best i've ever seen.
The graphics are spectacular for there "old age". B.Net, the multiplayer Starcraft is very diverse and there are many games like playing Cops and Robbers to Paintball or Capture The Flag. So stop wasting time that can be better spent buying this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm telling the long term story
Review: I don't know about you, but I hate those people who write reviews before they even beat the game. A lot of games are fun in the beggining, but get real old real fast. Well, I've had this game for, what, four or five years now, and it's still cool. For those of you who think that's impossable, hear me out. Some games are just one thing and it changes only in get a certain amount of whatever, those get old the first. Then there are games like Dune that are real cool but don't bring anything new, those get old a little later. Then there are games that are extreemly varied (and rare), and those stay cool for a loing time. Whitch one is Starcraft? None. I have to make a whole new catagory for Starcraft. No matter how cool a game is, it will get old eventually. Except for starcraft. If you get tired of blasting the Zerg with your forces, no problem, go on the web and play an rpg ,or a souped up Tetris (I never did get why they did that one), or whatever the heck you feel like. Or even make your own. You don't just make a new map on Starcraft, you make a new game. You can change everything, from unit health and names to stuff like "bring a Zelet here, create 1 Big Robot, and display text message he hotwired the guy's car". Anyway, I think I'm getting close to the 1000 word limit, so, later.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This game is balanced very well in my opinion. People who say that protoss are too strong and zerg too weak are unfortunately newbies...disregard that. This game's single player gets boring, yet the multiplayer never loses excitement.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cant get no better
Review: This game cant be beaten by any other rts it is amazing.I first got the demo of normal starcraft and straightaway got the real thing so when i saw the exspansion I whent and got it right away.I love this game there are many possilbe ways of killing the enemy/s.There are loads of units and 3 differeant races.There are plenty of campaign missions and if u do them then there are plenty more built in maps.To top it if u want u can make your own maps or even campaigns.The net is brilliant aswell.If you havnt bought this game and you loved the original sc then get this.
