Starcraft: Brood War

I borrowed Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War from a friend and the game is the best computer game in the world. What makes it really special is that you can play it on Battle.net. I couldn't stop playing it till I had to give itback. I like how you get to play three different races instead of just one. This really has a lot to do on Battle.net. I usually had chosen Protoss or Terran. I'm not that good with Zerg, though. Anyway, I just ordered them both and I can't wait to get them!

nice game

I have the original just in case you are asking. The expansion basically has the same old terrible, disappointing gameplay, and sound effects. Okay fine the producers add like 3 more units to the existing eleven. Just like the original, the expansio lacks one basic thing the starategy. Like the original this game lacks the strategic element that most rts agmes have. The movies are terrible in comparrison to Red Alert 2. If you are a long time strategy vetran don't go for this one. Yes I now it get's lots of game reviews on tons of game sites. I don't know why. The gameplay is boring, bland, lacks strategy. You'd think that Blizard would have fixed some of tthe problems in the original but no!!! The build timeas are still insanely long. There are just to units to create the strategic diversity of most games. The single player missions will bore the heck outa you (just like me.) Yes this game is one of the most over rated things that I have seen in my entire life. I think people need to wake up and open their eyes and see Brrod war and sc the way it really is. The graphics are pretty good. The interface [is bad]!! I seriosly don't know what people see in this game and the original. What should you get? Uh try good examples of rts such as Red Alert 2 , Dark Reign 2 or ground control.

I don't know what's so special about this game

Starcraft brood war is basically the same as the original. All that's new is a few new units for each side and three new boring campaigns. First of all, it takes an eternity to build buildings. Big deal if protoss probes can build two buildings at once if each takes 5 minutes to build. Also all the construction units are way to easy to destroy and you have to build about 50 of them to have practically any resources. It takes an eternity to do anything except get your units and buildings destroyed. The only thing good about this game is the graphics are pretty good.

i own it !!!

First of all StarCraft was a great game in my opinion untill the expansion came out. I play protoss and consider myself quite good but the expansion gives the Protoss and Terran some crappy units compared to the Zergs Lurkers! The zerg can get lurkers early in the game. So if your Terran or Protoss and your coming into rush them, you cant possibly win because the lurkers cant be detected unless you have a observer or something that can see burrowed or cloaked units. If your a Zerg player than Im sure you would love the expansion but if your a protoss player, than most of you probably wont care to much for it. Or at least wont be to exited.

More money

If you bought Starcraft, then you might as well buy this. It adds more balance in some ways, but takes some balance in others. Why do the Protoss get the ability to mind control? With a 200 unit cap, it means that a protoss player on a resource rich map can have 600 units, given that all three sides are played. Then can mind control a peasant and then build another sides buildings and units. As if the Protoss weren't already a bit more powerful than the rest.
Still, it does add 15% more units. so instead of 12 different units, you can build 14 units. Also, each side has a way of efficiently eliminating large amounts of aircraft.

OK but not OK

StarCraft Brood Wars isn't really a great game. It took me just one game to love it but I got tired of it after about 8 months after I finished playing it. I got this game about 2 years ago.... Buy something more useful or educational.

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.

Great add on for any Starcraft fan

This exspantion pack increase the defensive and offensive cappablilities of alot of old favorites and adds some new characters to the scene. This is a must for any true hard core Starcraft lovin zerg smashin freak.
