    The game holds up pretty nicely, it's still a solid RTS after all these years ... but was the pathing always so bad? It's infuriating!

    Brood War will ALWAYS bee the king!
    Starcraft will live forever !
    This is 100% worth a buy if you have played the old Starcraft and miss it

    in my opinion, the re-release of the game came out to glory when you can compare graphics, normal user matches.but still the game is already old in itself.it pays off its price tag in full

    Ремастер легендарной игры. Подтянули спрайты, добавили официальный перевод и русскую озвучку (какой кайф). Чутка переделали портреты и модели главных героев, чтобы от второй части сильно не отличались. Ну а ностальгирующим специально завезли фичу - нажал на F5 и игра переключается на оригинал прям во время боя. пройти давно хотел, теперь могу сделать это с максимальными удобствами.

    A lot of Starcraft 2 scared fan boys try to undermine this rating but here my 10 that is deserved besides everything because the Remaster respects a lot the classic Starcraft which was the first and the biggest esport in the world before Being murdered by Blizzard for monetary gain using the power of WoW money

    A truly excellent game, remastered to have slightly less-old graphics and support for modern things like wider screens. While gameplay and routing in modern games has improved with time, Starcraft Remastered retains the original, no-longer-cutting-edge mechanics and gameplay. The game shows some age, but is certainly still worth a play to experience one of the top games in gaming history.A truly excellent game, remastered to have slightly less-old graphics and support for modern things like wider screens.

    I first played Starcraft with siblings and friends, and found the original game quite fun, but its AI/multi-player excessively difficult. Since playing games over more than a decade, I now find this game's campaign much easier, and finished it without much trouble. Great for the nostalgia, and to finally complete a campaign I got stuck halfway through as a kid.

    9/10 for an awesome game and great nostalgia, but this game admittedly may not be as enjoyable if you don't have any nostalgia or interest in the game before playing.    … Expand

    Activision entertainment absolutely trampled and destroyed the iconic look of the game Starcraft. For me, this is unforgivably what they did. The only thing they had to do was make the game in a scale of 1: 1 to 4K and not change the look of some things to be more to starcraft 2.

The graphics are still based on sprites, and it now plays on Windows 7 without hacks, fixes or manipulations to launching the game to fix graphics issues.

    Overall, even if you play remastered with the new graphics turned off, the game runs better on modern computers and allows the original game to carry on another 20 years. This is a perfect execution of what a remaster should be.. fix bugs that degrade the game ONLY. Blizzard left intact exploits that allowed for some of the best maps online. That is a solid move for the community.

    -Battle.net works well (although I don't play the ladder, just with friends)
    -Graphics are good, I feel like it met my expectations of what I remember not how it actually was pixelated
    -Gameplay remains unchanged, and I get that people complain about AI pathing, but it's based on sprites, and the unique movement and play would be changed if they fixed it, so I'm happy about that.
    -Players that complain about the 12 unit selection group maximums, really small complaint when played correctly. I mean I personally have no issue swarming with the Zerg.

    If you want to step into gaming history and experience a well balanced, 3 race RTS, this is the game for you. Or if you're like me and played it in the 90s and still have a few discs laying around.. worth every penny.    … Expand

    The pinnacle of RTS games. The infinitely high skill ceiling helps cement this game as one of the greatest competitive games of all time, if not THE greatest. Competitive Starcraft is still played in Korea, where it's much more popular even than it's younger sibling Starcraft 2. This game isn't perfect, but I have a feeling it's as close as we'll ever get.

    This is a massive rip off. I purchased the remastered starcraft and my mac will not download the installation app. I tried to get help and blizzard asks me for a diagnostic file... what the heck is a diagnostic file!!?!? All I know is I paid them money and they want me to wave a magic wand on my mac. Thanks a lot...

It has tons of observer and replay improvements including the ability to rewind replays. It is the same gameplay, which is perfect, BW is a perfect game, that to this day the meta still sees new revelations. You can play on any map from the original, and most of the UMS (excluding a couple EUD maps that were security issues, you can even watch all your old replays. It lets you switch from HD to SD with the press of a button at any point. The matchmaking works well with a good MMR ranking system, with more recent netcode improvements it makes sure matches have a good latency even though it is global matchmaking (the gateway you pick does not matter for matchmaking). The only downside right now is a lack of a 2v2 ladder, but you can still play team games in customs just like you always have. This is how a classic should be remastered, sadly WC3 did not get the same treatment, hopefully they are able to fix it.… Expand

    A shameless cash grab. Could have been called an HD texture pack. Way overpriced for what you get, much ragrets.
    The videos are still even interlaced, the only really noticeable improvement is the command interface, otherwise this would have gotten a 0

    StarCraft: Remastered admittedly targets to esport. While for professional players it is almost perfect, for ordinary people it is a half-baked remaster of once great game, which is not so good to play today.
