this game is sweet because you can choose from three different story modes, terran, zerg and protoss. and also what is cool about this game is that it is an expansion pack. i dont know/get haow to play mutiplayer on this game but everyone else pry does. you can also make your own place. if only they made one of these for GC,PS2,or XBOX. if you know how to play warcraft you know how to play this game. all the people are different in this game and which fate will you choose?

Brood war brings new units, missions, storyline and lots more.
If you enjoyed playing Starcraft, then you will enjoy Brood War.
In fact, I think anyone that owns Starcraft should also own this expansion pack.

The perfect expansion to the perfect game

Starcraft is by far the best strategy game created in Earth. Good graphics that can easily run in low-equipped PCs, an awesome sound and interface, Starcraft can proportionate hours and hours of diversion, mainly if you play in the battle.net.
The expansion added many interesting things like new types of terrain and new units, and sure it's worth the price, even because the game is very cheap.
The game is probally the best game to play via net or lan, and only Counter Strike can compete against Starcraft in the subject multiplayer interface (acess and entertaiment).
An awesome map editor (the best of any game ever created) does not let that you stop playing only because you won all the entire campaign and sure, you can easily obtain new maps by playing in new maps (that you don't have, of course), and sure, the map is all yours to play.
The only thing that I didn't liked very much was the addiction of the Dark Archon to the Protoss and one of his powers, Mind Control, that just let you have control over whatever unit in the map you want, and that is not fair in NET games, because one can take a SCV or drone of yours and build and have control over a second (or even over the three races) race, and that is not fair, I have the impression that the Protoss are "superior" (but that is because I am a Zerg player, although I play very well with all three races).
But this is the only annoying problem. If you have Starcraft, the expansion is worth the price. And if you don't have both, you don't know then what you are missing...

The Greatest Game of All Time

Starcraft: Brood War is hands-down the greatest Real-Time-Strategy game of ALL TIME. It's considered a SPORT in korea, getting live broadcasts on tv stations daily. I have played this game for 5 years, and I'm still as interested in it now as I was 5 years ago. For a game that has been out since 1998, there are still more people playing this game than most new titles today. In my opinion, Starcraft: Brood War ranks as #1 game of all time.

Great expansion of a great game

The expansion pack Brood War pushes the already great Starcraft game even further. A few new units have been added to the old spectacle. The Terrans have got a Medic, a helpful addition because their soldiers aren't particularly strong, and they also have the new Valkyrie plane, a quick assault plane. The Zerg have the Lurker, a nasty thing that can hide underground (like nearly all Zerg units) and releases its sharp spines as soon as the enemy comes too close. This unit is an excellent way to protect the Zerg bases, so that these become even more hard-to-capture strongholds. There's also the flying Devourer, a huge monster that makes the Zerg much stronger in the air than they were before (those Scourges aren't that strong, after all). But it is the Protoss who have received the most interesting additions: the great Dark Templar units that were available sometimes in the missions of the original, have now become standard units. This fast stealth attacker (he can only be seen by detector units) balances the lack of strong small infantry with the Protoss. And: just like with the familiar High Templars, two Dark Templars can fuse to a Dark Archon, a great unit that can mind-control enemies (probably, the Yuri units in Red Alert 2 have borrowed this idea). This can be an immensely powerful addition to the battle, though, as with so much in Starcraft, you have to use these units carefully. They cost a lot, after all! There are also new campaigns, with again some of the well-known great animation movies and a new, great story (And believe it or not, Sarah Kerrigan returns once again!). I find the campaigns generally harder than those in the original, but that's only good news. This add-on just has everything of the original, and then even better. Not to be missed!

THE BEST GAME EVER!

I dont care what people say. Starcraft and Broodwar are by far the best games ever created! Blizzard is by far the best creator of games ever, period. I am telling you BUY THIS GAME. I don't care who you are, BUY IT!

Decent but unexciting expansion pack

StarCraft was an epic real-time strategy game that combined good gameplay with a good storyline, all enhanced by good music and decent graphics. Set in a distant part of the galaxy, the game features humans (or terrans) fighting a civil war while caught in the crossfire of a battle between two other alien races: the psychic, contemplative protoss and the swarming, insect-like zerg. As in any other real time strategy game, the player controls various military units (foot soldiers, tanks (or their equivalent), aircraft, etc) and builds up a supply base while achieving a set military objective. Gameplay is continuous, so commands must be given while action occurs in the game.

This expansion pack continues the storyline of StarCraft, but it adds little to the gameplay. A few new types of units with limited abilities are added, but the units have limited capabilites (such as slow, weak air-to-air attacks or heal unit capabilities) that do not really add to the excitement. New scenery is added, but the scenery is not that exciting. The movies in the story mode are interesting, but the plot overall is not as exciting as in the original StarCraft.

For fans of the original StarCraft, this is a must-have expansion pack. For the casual game player (who must already own StarCraft to play this game), this expansion pack does not offer much more than what can already be found in StarCraft.

Best Game Ever

Starcraft is definetly the best game ever to come out for PC, Broodwar made starcraft even more popular by adding a few units to the game. One thing I like about this game it never gets boring, takes a while to learn to play but is the most addictive game on the market. I don't think that this game will ever die down. However I do think that Blizzard should come out with another expansion to Broodwar, its been like 4 years already, all they need to do is add a few units and its going to be a best seller for like 4 months straight. Anyway if you never played this game you don't know ehat you are missing.

i own it !!!
