Customer Reviews

THIS IS WHY LIMITED INSTALLATIONS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA!
Over the last 10 years that I first installed STARCRAFT I have replayed it countless of times. Every time a new overhyped game disappoints me, this is one of the games I pull out of my library to be reminded what a GREAT PC GAME LOOKS & PLAYS LIKE! (others include UNREAL, BALDUR's GATE, GRIM FANTANGO and SHOGUN:TOTAL WAR)

Everyone has his/her favorite RTS and no one can claim that STARCRAFT introduced the futuristic RTS genre (that would be DUNE). Nevertheless, the great, crisp and clear graphics, the balanced units and the strategic terrain all contributed into turning STARCRAFT into a true classic. This is a game that passed the test of time, not only because its aging graphics are still acceptable but also because it is one of those games that stays with you. Forever.

So, the next time some gaming industry MBA (who probably could not tell an RTS from an cRPG) tables the idea of LIMITED INSTALLATIONS, what he will have primarily accomplished is to have his game forgotten within a year.

One of the best real-time strategy games ever
Do all you need to do for the week before you begin this game. Be ready for the sleepless nights. You will not be able to get yourself off the computer for many hours. This is one of the best real-time strategy games ever. No wonder that Blizzard do not hurry to release StarCraft 2.

Besides playing against the computer, you can compete with your friends over the LAN or with the whole world over the Internet.

The game is flexible and does not demand a lot of the resources. It will run smoothly on virtually any PC (Windows 95 and newer) or MAC (System 7.6 or higher).
Also, the game runs perfectly well on Windows XP.

A classic and still fun to play!
Until they finally release Starcraft II, this is still a game worth playing. And when they do release Starcraft II, you best play this game beforehand...you wouldn't want to miss out on the story.
