Advantages: see above

Disadvantages: the games repetative and is a bit old

A strategy game in the command and conquer style, the graphics are a bit dated now, the sound is adequate, and the gameplay is good. It should run on virtually any machine. You play on for three sides in a level based game, there are some nice weapons.Starcraft offers a lengthy single-player campaign featuring ten missions for its three diverse races, totaling 30 single-player missions in all. The story is compelling enough to make playing through all three worthwhile, and the campaign difficulty is tiered so that each is more challenging than the last.With the exception of the installation missions the missions are well designed. The solo player also has the option of skirmish missions, though the computer opponents have the annoying ability to see everything you are doing and defend accordingly, making the dreaded "rush" tactic one of the only viable means of emerging victorious.
