A Masterpiece of Game Design November 20, 2008
Simply put StarCraft is to RTS computer gaming what Chess is to board games.
Its endless. The game is so well designed that even after years of playing you can still learn more and get better at it.As far as computer/video games go most games that are a few years old are usually at best a fond memory, 10+ years later and people are still addicted to , or are being introduced to StarCraft. I will always have it installed on whatever PC I own.
Classic Game With Tons of Replay Value October 21, 2008
This is a great game with a lot of replay value. The core essentials of any great strategy game are in StarCraft and the Battle Chest is a must have for any fan of the series.
 StarCraft Revisited October 4, 2008
I remember when Starcraft first came out originally. I was thrilled to play each scenario and finally, after many hours of play, I conquered the final level of each race. I replayed the game so much I ruined the original disk and couldn't reinstall after a computer crash. It's been a few years and true, the animation is a little old school but I found to my delight after purchasing the Starcraft Battle Chest that as soon as I started to play it, the enjoyment began once more. I'd have to say that even if it's your first time playing Starcraft, you'll enjoy figuring out the strategy to win each level,as I did. Two alien race levels give a different perspective than playing the human scenarios, for many more hours of playStarCraft Battle Chest.
Awesome September 29, 2008
Definitely worth the money I had spent!!!! One of many great games that I have purchased!!
StarCraft is a CLASSIC! September 2, 2008
Personally, I think StarCraft is one of the best RTS games of its type, ever made! At the very least, it is definitely the best one I've ever played (though people say WarCraft is even better!). I haven't even made it through the entire game yet, but the missions not only get harder as you move on, they also get more interesting.
The way the game is structured, there are three campaigns in the initial part of the game: Terran, Zerg, and Protoss, and you play them in that order. Because of the three different distinct species, the game stays very interesting because the way you build your armies changes drastically between species. Each of the campaigns also has an interesting story line to go with it as well as extremely well rendered eye popping space cinematics. Ultimately all the story lines tie together into one big epic tale of multi species galactic warfare.
I haven't even tried the more advanced features of the game, like online play, and customized campaigns, but I'm already hooked. This game is well worth the money, and if you are new to it, the Battle Chest is perfect because it comes with a strategy guide, both the original game and the expansion set, play guides, and a World of Warcraft demo, all at one low price. The only thing you have to worry about when playing this game is the fact that it's a time blackhole. I can easily drop four or five hours into this game at a single sitting, and the time just flies by! So be careful, it's a wonderful game, and it's also extremely addicting!
