I have long obtained StarCraft Brood War and for all the times I’ve have obtained it, I must admit, it was certainly a blast. Whenever playing online or just playing the campaign, the experience is always an enjoyable time because not only is it competitive, the entire game play is simply amazing when it comes to unit diversity, infrastructure, and game balance.
The best thing yet is that this game is dated from 1998, almost a 12-year old game. When I purchased it, I bought it off Amazon when the StarCraft Battle Chest was on sale for only $10 – that was the best $10 I have ever spent and I’d bet you thought so too.
The fact that every unit in the game has its own unique feature like how the high templar cannot attack, however, when updated with Psoinic Storm, it is one of the deadliest units in the game (especially for hydras). The game play is so amazing and when there are times where you feel that you are an absolute advantage, any certain type of screw up can swing the game into the opponent’s favor at any time.
So, as you may guess, StarCraft is a very deadly game that is still enjoyable and can nonetheless still match up to the current day games. Undisputed, it is no wonder why StarCraft was an enourmous hit at the time of 1998. Now it is 2010, and I still play the game. Not to forget to say, it is the number 1 game in Korea and is considered a sport there. It is simply one of the most competitive games that requires skill, strategy, mind games, intensive micro, and macro management. This game is not for the kind hearted. Be prepared to play with other competitive gamers on B-net, or be prepared to be rolled over.
If you like strategy games, this game is a must no matter what date it came out. It is a must for your collection of games.
