Aug 31, 2010i wuoldn't say dat this is the best game ever made, but it's like 124 times better than the first one because the story is more intense like and the strategy gets like so crazy you can't even count your fingers in front of your own hands, it's as if you got like 5 hits of some crazy pomp and you got no sense about you - and plus the zerg is like EKA EKA EKA EKA EKA

Sep 1, 2010This game is unabashed and honest about what it is. It's an old school base-building fast paced rush heavy RTS. If you like that kind of game, stop reading and go buy it right now, because this is the best of that type of game that we've seen in a long time.
If you don't like that type of game, then you won't like this game and you should move on. -

Sep 19, 2010Well worth the wait. Seeing the story with kerrigan and jim raynor continue was great. Story was well paced. All the voice actors did an outstanding job. MP is very similar to the original but with some nice updates. Very please, bring on heart of the swarm!

Nov 8, 2011Starcraft has done it again. Yes terran may be a little be unbalanced, I don't see any other game thats as great as this game. The campaign was great, and online was better. They improved the graphics and brought in more units to the fight. This game is hands down the best stragedy game out there.

Jan 1, 2012Release Date Jul 27, 2010 and i just take notice that i finished the campaign only one single time in this one and a half year and still do not feel like starting a second round. Honestly a bit unusal for a blizzard game. Anyways if you like rts just go and get it. Rts sure doesnt get much better than this. Problem about this game most likely only is that its standing in the huge shadow of SC1.

Jan 20, 2012A very well balanced, fast-paced RTS game with a whole lot of depth. Too bad that the multiplayer side of the game focuses so much on remembering build orders and multitasking, instead of real strategy. The singleplayer campaign is quite fun too, mostly because of the variations in the map design. Overall, I'd say that the game is more fun to watch than to play though.

Jan 31, 2012Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 1. Starcraft 2 surpasses both in every aspect from the campaign to the balanced multiplayer to map editing tools. The amount of custom game types that can come out of the custom map tools is simply staggering. One can lose thousands of hours in this iteration of starcraft. Buy it if you are a true pc gamer!

Jan 20, 2012Truly one of the best games ever made. It may take work to get the hang of it but starcraft 2 is by far the most amazing experiences a game can produce. Blizzard really took the time to make sure that the game was perfect. This games is a must buy.

Dec 2, 2012Was what I expected: good story, good gameplay... New battle.net is good I think, press button, wait awhile and enjoy game. Looking forward to HotS and continuation of story line.

Jan 30, 2012This game took a really long time to come out and when it did I really couldn't spot much difference with Starcraft one in terms of gameplay :). Now is that a good or bad thing? I guess we can only answer this ourselves. I've answered with my score.

Feb 1, 2012This is NOT just Starcraft with better graphics.
Blizzard spent the time to innovate new units and making old units better. A great new gameplay from Brood war.
Only let down is the slight imbalanced between the races in which Blizzard has fixed up quite a bit.
Hopefully HOTS will fixed up the balanced issues.
The story line of this game is also very intriguing if not a bit cliche at times. -
Mar 6, 2012Very highly enjoyable. Even at low levels of play, each match is an intense battle of wits and speed. Not much needs to be said about the actual gameplay itself. One thing that still stands out to me to this day is just how clean and well developed the UI and controls are. It makes playing the game a pleasure.

Mar 7, 2012Most of the problems I have with this game are the way that Blizzard implements patches and fixes. It is an amazing game and the mini games that you can find on the custom game list are worth the price of this game by themselves. I would pay money to play nexus wars as a stand alone game. SC2 may not be for everyone, but it is an amazing game none the less.
