Starcraft

Well, hello there! This blog will be dedicated to reviewing games, and keeping all you gamers out there informed about the quality of the video games out there. You may see a review you don’t like, or you may see one you love. Feel free to post either way. On to the review.

Starcraft is a classis RTS by blizzard, and is widely seen as the best RTS ever. I agree that it is fun, and is one of blizzard’s best games, but not the best ever. I picked up the game, along with the expasion “Brood War”, for 19.99 at my local EB games. I installed it pn my computer, and began to play. I decided to start out on the origional, and play the Terran campain. The first couple missions werent bad, but I noticed them getting harder…and harder…and harder, until, around level 6, I could not win. I didn’t know if I was just terrible at the game, or if I had missed something, or if the game was just too hard. I decided to play a couple skirmishes, to get the hang of the game. I chose the Terrans, and made my foe “random.” I started playing, collecting resources, buying units, exploring, etc. I THOUGHT I was doing well, but after about 10 minutes of playing I was attacked by a massive horde of Zerg, who completely obliterated me in about 60 seconds. I tried again, this time using the rush tactic, and was again obliterated. I gave up, and went to play Guild Wars.

Over the next month, I continually attempted to play, and was thwarted every time. I wasnt getting better, and I could not find a difficulty setting. I had fun playing, and on the ocasion I did okay, found it to be very fullfilling, even though I lost every time. Overall, Starcraft is a good game, but quite a bit too hard for newcomers. Again, if im wrong an just suck, leave a comment. Except giovanni. No comments for you.

My rating system is on a scale of 1-5.

1= Vomit on a stick, 1.5= Horrible, 2= Very bad, 2.5= Don’t bother, 3=okay 3.5= Above average, 4= Good, 4.5= great, 5= Godly

I give starcraft a 3 (okay)
