Advantages: Gameplay, Online multiplayer

Disadvantages: Graphics

Starcraft, one word to sum it up...excellent!

This is a strategy game where the player can choose to be 1 of the three factions, the Zerg, the Terrans or the Protoss. Each have their strengths and their weaknesses.

The Zerg are ant like creatures, very biological. However do not underestimate them as their natural abilities are very powerful and make a formidable force in the game.

The Terrans, well, they're us, marines etc. They have guns tanks and are quite powerful, they're weaker than the other two races when u start the match as they have weaker defence.

The Protoss are the most technologically advanced race in the game, they have shields and technology with a higher standard compared to the opposing races. The Protoss are the strongest, in my opinion with a strong ground and air force they will probably pose the biggest threat during the game.

The game allows the campaign modes (missions and stuff) and a melee mode which will come in useful when you are bored of playing the missions. The game is packaged with a mission editor which proves to be a very useful tool when making your own levels.

Also another nice feature is the online multiplayer capabilities, called Battle.Net,
this allows you to play other people over the net. It is slightly slow but allows a variety of players to come together.

Compared to the games of today it can still match to the enjoyment level, however it contains inferior graphics especially when in the actual game.

Overall I have enjoyed playing this game, and it has been very challenging and exciting.
