Starcraft 2

And, few of the people I talked to guessed right.
Actually... No one did.

Also, one new thing in this one! I left overall grades of the game at the bottom of the page, so just scroll down if you feel pressed for time!

So, I'll reveal the logic behind the clue.
"A god revived."
Starcraft is one of the best and most succesful games ever made, and it has been revived in a second one.
And the rest of the sentence points towards the different races.


So, to start off I'm going to bash this game into the ground.

Starcraft 2... A game so far away from the original game that it can barely even be called Starcraft.

First off... Graphics, they are fucking amazing, I mean literally, amazing.
But, it fails to capture "Starcraft".
It feels like I'm watching a cartoon, the atmosphere is far from as serious and dark as it was in Starcraft, and therefore does not appeal to me that much.


And the campaigns. I have to bash them as well.
What is up with that anyways?
It feels like they literally hired some cheesy hollywood director.
The moment I watched the trailer I knew it would this "Epic journey for righteousness blah blah blah" shit going on.
Sure, epic journeys are fun.
But try to keep the cheesyness out, please.
Aside from the obvious cheesyness though, excellent campaign!
The story writing was good, cheesy, but good. And the missions were fun in all its glory.
Definately recommend playing through the campaign if you happen to get it!

And the multiplayer part... Blizzard personifies Evil Greedy Bastards.
They copyright every fucking custom map, DotA was being made for Starcraft 2, until this was announced...
You cannot as a respectful developer make a map for Starcraft 2 without feeling a sting in your soul.
They really failed in this.
Warcraft 3, I love you for making that game. The map editor. <3
And Starcraft 2 showed so much promise... Switching to C++ and all.
But no, they had to ruin it with their greedy policy.
This... Was a huge dissapointment.

And that's pretty much all the bad I have to say about it... So on to the goodies.


Gameplay... Brilliant.
It is one of the most masterfully balanced games I've ever seen.
And all the races are unique and fun in their own way.
Although it failed to keep the dark atmosphere that I so loved in the first Starcraft, it is still one of the most awesome RTS games I have ever played.

And of course the voice acting that the Blizzard staff are so fond of.
I fucking love them, they are hilarious.
I can just sit clicking units to hear the fucked up shit that all the units say, this really adds an edge to the game!

And to finish off...
This is a love/hate relationship game.
I hate Blizzard for not reviving my god, but I love them for making this game as awesome as it is.
I definately recommend buying this, regardless of price. It is an epic game for RTS lovers out there.



Overall scores:
Graphics: 7/10 Amazing, but fails to capture me as much as the first did.
Gameplay: 8/10 Also amazing, wonderfully balanced and fun overall.
Campaign/Storyline: 6/10 Amazing (Feels like I use that word a lot...) but extremely cheesy.

Overall: 7/10 Amazing game, but not enough to get my nerdgasm going.
