starcraft 2-is it worth buying?

mehmeh12

Ive never played starcraft 1 since i was only a kid when that was released but i do enjoy most of the command and conquer franchise (excluding c and c 4; and red alert 3 obviously). Would i enjoy starcraft 2?

Yes, no further comment.

Definately yes,I hadn't played the first game either, but this game is still pretty epic.

Dcully

Yes yes yes, so far its epic.
I never played the origional.
I am seriously afraid of the MP part of the game however.

Completed it a few days ago. Truely an epic game!

If you enjoyed the C&C series, you will love SC2.

Single player is pretty damn epic. And its long too. The MP is great. Really competitive leagues. Deffo my fav game over the last 10 years.

agree with everything, but why rate the graphics 4/5 ? honestly, i think the graphics are superb on the game and the cut scene's

Never played the first one and bit of a shooter and rpg fan but really enjoying SC2, great story so far at only 6 missions in, Buy it.

There's no such thing as the perfect game!

The graphics are great but they're not cutting edge and in some parts it looks a little jagged/blurred. I had a look at outline vids of it running with everything on Ultra to confirm.

Force AA in your gfx driver, cleans the game up nicely. Can't believe they released a game that won't support AA natively.

It's a well designed game with superb graphics, fun and balanced gameplay, a both very competitive and very easy going mixture of players to compete with and an execllent campaign and reliable connectioin to other players.

Sound's like it's worth buying to me!

Great game, everyone who plays strategy games should own it.

Game is fairly epic, and I dont normally like these types of games.

Zapp Brannigan

I'd say it's definitely worth buying. I've never played an RTS properly in my life but I'm loving this.

I am really crap though!

I reckon he compared the game with games such as Crysis or some other titles based on Unreal Engine 3.x. But yeah, cut scene`s are really good, seems like the engine itself is capable of much more than we can see throughout the gameplay alone.

Yes, but I think you should play StarCraft 1 and Brood War first - they're classics.
