StarCraft (PC) Reviews

Essentially a souped-up, sci-fi sequel to the now rather ancient Warcraft 2, Blizzard Software's Starcraft is a real-time strategy game that adheres to a familiar formula but at the same time remains hugely inventive and engaging. The game borrows heavily from the universes of Aliens, Predator and Warhammer 40,000, allowing you to choose to play ...  Read the complete review

To describe it as a real time strategy game in the vein of "Dune" or "Command and Conquer" would be a huge disservice to this game, which redefined the genre with a mixture of expert and involved storytelling, groundbreaking gameplay, and rich design. Starcraft's story arc ushers the player through three campaigns, ...  Read the complete review

The protoss is a very high tech race thus its structures and units require a high amount of resources . The Protoss's builder only need to start the process of building.

It's so difficult to start with Starcraft. What can I say other then what you know? It's so hard not to know this game, so few have played it, but then again it's not impossible that you haven't. So let's begin with the basics of the game. Starcraft's fame sprung largely from it's simple yet diverse strategy base. the races are easy to ...  Read the complete review

Chances are if you game at all you've heard of Starcraft and there's a very good reason for that, it hooks you from the beginning whether you're a strategy fan or not. There are three races - Protoss, Terrans and Zerg. Protoss are a powerful robotic race good at both attacking and defending however they have no high power units which ...  Read the complete review

This game was released in 1997, you may think that this one is really obsolete and why in the world would you take any interest in it. But give it a chance. Why? If you ask any person, who players games for a while to name a game from that era I can guarantee you that 90% of them will shoot "Starcraft". Now for how many games can you say ...  Read the complete review

As a result of the fact that I don’t booze quite so much anymore - coupled with the fact that I’m also in the Arts faculty of Glasgow University – means I have far too much free time. Before the boozing, I spent my time playing on computer type things [I still do, but no one wants to hear about older boys playing video games]. StarCraft ...  Read the complete review

Starcraft is a relatively old game. Not 'classic' old like Super Bomber Man but old enough to be dated. This said it is only dated in presentation and graphics, the game itself is still as good as ever. The major advantage of it being an older game is that it's now available on the 'Best Seller' series and costs about £10. I ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Having played through Starcraft about four times I think im now becoming an expert. I bought it when it came out, a good few years ago now and have not looked back. Now, ill be the first to admit that my main love for games falls squarly on FPS style games. This game however had so much hype at the time I thought i might as well buy it. ...  Read the complete review

Starcraft is a really fun & addicting game.Best when played online, and try to upgrade to Brood War! - Advantages: great online play, 3 different races, never gets old! - Disadvantages: learning you're bad at some races, battle.net lag

When I consider that usually, I play through games for about a month, possibly coming back to them a few months later, the most significant thing that strikes me about StarCraft is that it was released in April 1998. Three and a bit years ago. And I still play it, regularly. Therefore it must be something pretty special. And it is. Like ...  Read the complete review

THE BEST - Advantages: fantastic game, great online play - Disadvantages: newer games out

Before I bought this game all I knew about blizzard was that they had created my favourite game on the PC Diablo. I had never played warcraft and therefore had no expectations of how it would compare, however after now playing warcraft I feel I wouldn't have been disappointed. A wonderful real-time strategy game that in my opinion is ...  Read the complete review

The year is 2499. Most worlds of the galaxy were colonized by the oppressive terran Confederacy, whose supremacy remains absolute in galactic domination... Well, I can say not for long, after playing Starcraft’s ten-mission initial campaign. Starcraft is one of those few games that although it doesn’t show all the ...  Read the complete review

I have had this game for around two years, and I still play it all the time! there is almost nothing more enjoyable on the PC in the God games genre than crushing your foe in this (maybe total annihilation kingdoms). With 30 in depth and challenging misiions that unfold an exciting and engrossing story of the humans (Terran), trying to ...  Read the complete review

I have been playing Starcraft for 6 months now, so I have an obligation to tell you about it. Plot You are the Terrans, Zerg, or Protoss. You try to survive in a universe full of war. You have many technologies to aid you. This is just the basic nature of the plot. There are many other themes as well: rebellion, politics, ...  Read the complete review

Blizzard has done it again. This latest development of real time strategy from the House of Blizzard has futuristic twist, but in itself is very similar to Microsoft's Age of Empires. Starcraft has a multiplayer side just as AoE does. To play via the internet you can only play on Battle.net. There are a good many different types of ...  Read the complete review

Starcraft is a game that I have been playing regularly for nearly three years now and I have yet to tire of it. The thing that makes this game stand out from the rest of the Command and Conquer clones is the uniqueness of each of the three races that you can pick from; the bog-standard human side in the form of the Terrans, crusaders who ...  Read the complete review
