 No LAN? Only play on BNET? FAIL!! July 31, 2010

If you loved the first SC, dont waste your time on this game. The BNET play sucks if you dont have a 2010 PC.. its really full of lag for me, and my Pc's only 3-4 years old. The fact that it doesnt have LAN play makes me wanna slap whoever made that decision. This game is 1 star. Thats it.

That's the message I get every time I try and start up the game. And when i say yes to download now, nothing happens. I'm using my new Mac computer. There is no information posted online except for the PC version, and Blizzard Help phone line is "full" and unable to assist.
Don't get the full game July 31, 2010

Agree with other reviewers - I'd rather they charge more for a complete game at launch than 1/3 of a game for standard pricing. Ridiculous. Do not buy until all expansions come out bundled in a gold edition.
 Good game, will play for a while July 31, 2010

I must say this game is quite some fun, every bit as fun as I thought. The campaign and challenge missions were a lot of fun and compared to the original I felt that the campaign had a lot more depth and interaction. There are a total of 29 campaign missions which is about the same amount as the first starcraft, and 9 additional challenge missions. The campaign also has many bonus objectives in each mission that the original did not have. If you enjoy playing solo player games, it is certainly worth buying.
However I must admit that I did not buy the game for the solo missions but rather for the online play. So far I am enjoying the online play a lot and the ladder matches seem to be significantly funner than the SC1 ladder play. I have not played a UMS game yet however I'm sure that authors will be just as creative as they were in SC1 and WC3.
The one con is that if a map is completely original, an author (NOT Blizzard) will be able to charge a small fee to those who wish to download it. However its originality must be verified by Blizzard and judging from the amount of UMS maps from SC1 and WC3 I doubt many will cost anything unless someone created their own campaign that doesn't have anything to do with Starcraft.
I'm certainly looking forward to the Heart of the Swarm and Into the Void expansions to continue with the storyline.
 Fantastic game, ignore the cry babies July 31, 2010

Gaming has been afflicted by a terrible trend. It seems to me like gamers are turning into a large bunch of spoiled brats. Starcraft 2 is a fantastic game, but because it left out certain features that were there in the past, all the ways that Starcraft 2 succeeds are completely ignored.
I could go into the many reasons why this game is amazing, but all you really need to do is search up some reviews by actual game critics and you'll see that Starcraft 2 is one of the best games to come out in a long time. Ignore the whining of the spoiled gaming community.
