Summary: Great Strategy
Review: I have a lot of strategy games old and new. By a good margin, this beats the pack. I even think it's better than the newer strategy game, Age of Mythology. This game is amazing! This has good single player, but the campains may be frustrating at times. The Battle.net on this game is a great bonus, and it's the best part of the game.
pros:
1.Great Multiplayer
2.awesome strategy
3. dirt cheap.
I know there's more, but I can't think of them right now.I did find one con, even though if you want to play battle.net, you have to pick a certain side, and master it.
Con: Not that many sides, only zerg, protoss, and terran. The sides on this game are very well balanced, though protoss may seem unfair at first, but if you are good, it's very possible to beat protoss with anyone, and the same goes for every other side.
Also, if you like this game, buy the expansion right away, because the expansion makes it even better than it already is.
That is what I think of this game.

Summary: Battle.Net is where it's at
Review: So this game is pretty cool on single player... actually nevermind its one of the best :) but it really pales in comparison to the online game. The whole Clan thing really is great fun. Not just the warring between game clans, but the 3rd party weapons of Clan War such as: Bots (does stuff for you online), mass messagers, channel attackers, name making, but its all great here... Clan x]De[x if ya ever sign on!

Summary: Disgrace to Bargain bins
Review: _I managed to retain enough interest to play for a few days. But the gameplay just wasn't interesting in the slightest. The dark setting and levels just depressed me after a while. The map editor was the only hope for salvation of this title... and it too turned out to be a flop. Maps were long and hard to make, with the controls and interactions way too complicated for it's own good. And despite many, many hours of trying to figure out how to actually make enemies attack (including going to FAQ's OL, asking friends who've played this, everything I could think of) I couldn't find any answer. At best, the map editor is for experimenting with units and target practice.
_The lack of any sea units was dissapointing. And even the specialty units like airborne carriers didn't make up for no navy's to play with. _The funny thing: Warcraft II was better in every way. The game was a bit cartoonish and had BRIGHT levels and such, so I never got "game depression". The map editor was quick and easy to use, and to make enemies attack, you only had to CLICK ONE OPTION! In fact, the map editor to WCII is the par to which all other game editors should be judged. Nothing can compare to it's user-friendly interface and easiness to use.
_Blizzard should be embarrased by Starcraft. Playing it just made me appreciate all that WCII had to offer. I ended up throwing Starcraft away and just playing WCII.

Summary: Very fun indeed!
Review: Just so you know, I am only going to discuss single-player version because I never tried multi-player. You have Warcraft, you have Diablo, and then you have Starcraft. Diablo and Warcraft have gone off to have #2 (and in Warcraft's case, #3) but Starcraft has nothing but a Brood War expansion. I can't see why. Starcraft is fantastic. You have three different races that are unique in their own way. Different buildings, different units, different ways of evolving... heck, just about everything is different between each race. I think that is pretty cool. I, personally, like the custom scenarios. I also like a really cool scenario that is kind of like a arcade game where you try to protect your nexus (protoss main building) from oncoming enemies. and get 'galactic heroes' if you survive. I found the actual campaign a bit too difficult for me, with some missions seeming just plain impossible. It also takes a while to master each race (I like the protoss, but the Zerg are, in my opinion, the easiest to fight with) But it is still fun and I really like some of the heroes, especially the Protoss heroes. Finally, I like making my own scenarios. It seemed difficult and a little confusing at first, but I eventually got the hang of it. Go out and buy this game!

Summary: Not a War game
Review: This game excels in its map making ability. You can easily change unit stats and victory conditions. When it comes to War gaming, this game does not fair well. Where is the navy? It is easy to put tons of guns on a boat and place it in the water, then attach a engine on it and go shooting things, and blizzard has demonstrated its ability to have boats in WCII. A hovering terrestial battleship is illogical. The war strategy in this game is minimal. If you play on islands, you method of winning is 1. use aircraft. 2. use big aircraft. 3. use aircraft and land some troops. 4. use aircraft. With each side having ~4 aircraft that leaves little variety.
After 5 years of playing this game, it has lost its luster. I only play it with custom scenarios, which is where this game shines. For a better wargame, get Total Annihilation with its expansion. It has been modified far more that SC, and with mods has about 5 different races.

Summary: Fun, from the start, to the never-end!
Review: 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!

Summary: The best game of all time
Review: 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.

Summary: Best RTS Game Ever!!!
Review: 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.

Summary: Great Game for Old School RTS players
Review: Now if you have been playing games as long as i have you probably know about a good game when you see it. For non-veteran players you probably recongnize the power of this game. This game puts all of the elements of RTS and some elements RPG's in to a game legend.
Three Races, Thirty Missions and a Great Story. This game is an adventure that takes you out of this world. Now this game is rated M for Strong Language (ex: they say damn hell and if you do certain things they [say other things]but they bleep it out thats only if your certain things that are hard to do) last but not least, there is bloody battles with gorey sequences. i wouldn't let any one under 13 play this game. But that is just me. TripleLook
