Pros: Great balanced gameplay, free online play though battle.net, great campaign editor
Cons: Battle.net service prone to hacking, unit selection
Summary: Grades? Who needs good grades? It was my freshman year in college when Blizzard released Starcraft. Let the record show that my GPA after my freshman year was a 2.33 in a school where the only 4 grades you can get are A, B, C, and NR (for no ... read more

Pros: Very balanced races, great overall system
Cons: weak storyline
Summary: It's so difficult to start with Starcraft. What can I say other then what you know? It's so hard not to know this game, so few have played it, but then again it's not impossible that you haven't. So let's begin with the basics of the game. ... read more

Pros: interesting story, three completely different races, need a bit of thinking
Cons: addictive, only last two or three missions in every campaign present a real challenge
Summary: What is all about? Well, starcraft is a rather old game (actually, this game was made in last millennium), but I never grew tired of it. It is like Red Alert, you can actually play it and play it and play it. Another plus are custom games and a map ... read more

Pros: Gameplay never gets old
Variety of strategies to use
Great multiplayer
Cons: Addictive
Somewhat predictable AI
Some rush strategies employed by people in multiplayer
Summary: Starcraft is the best RTS I have played ever, and I have plenty of experience playing various RTS games. I bought Starcraft reluctantly on a recommendation of a friend, but it has been one of my best investments in any game ever, as it has brought ... read more

Pros: Only arguably the best RTS game ever
Cons: Aged graphics, map limitation
Summary: Four scores and seven years ago... Ok, maybe not the four scores part, but seven years ago I certainly experienced the (mis)fortune of taking a fateful plunge in to this game. And now, seven years later, with broken dreams of entering in to ... read more

Pros: Campaign, single player, map creator, and my personal favorite multiplayer on battle net.
Cons: Map creator's somewhat complicated
Summary: This game is the first computer game I ever got, and arguably the best. The first time I played this at my friends house, it was great, I couldn't stop playing single player battles against the computer, I’ve been hooked ever since. When I left my ... read more

Pros: Extremely well balanced races, fun to play, and addicting
Cons: Limited resolution, inconsistant online community
Summary: Where do I begin when reviewing a game like this. Starcraft began as a successor to Blizzard's immensely popular Warcraft series. However, the original production of Starcraft looked clumsy and uninspired and was often jeered at as "Warcraft in Space". ... read more

Pros: gameplay is outstanding, replay, graphics
Cons: hackers online
Summary: Starcraft. The very definition of addiction. Starcraft is one of Blizzard Software’s older games (released around 1998), yet it still remains as one of Blizzard’s greatest, and the whole Real Time Strategy (RTS) genre’s finest. I wasn’t really ... read more

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Summary: Starcraft is one of the best RTS games of all time! Blizzard is one of the best RTS game makers of this day and age! Starcraft is like Warcraft in space. The two are almost identical. Starcraft has a unique program that comes with the game. It's called ... read more

Pros: Excellent futuristic RTS game
Cons: none
Summary: I was browsing through some of the reviews for this game recently and I noticed a funny thing. All the reviews that gave it low marks or criticised it were extremely short, usually badly constructed with a high proportion of spelling errors, and just ... read more

Pros: Highest quality storyline, addictive gameplay, and exciting missions.
Cons: None.
Summary: A few years ago when a friend of mine gave me Starcraft I had never played a RTS (real-time strategy) game before. Up until that point I was content to sit at the controls of a WWI vintage fighter plane and punch German fighter pilot’s tickets for ... read more

Pros: Fun to play and follow along in the story
Cons: Can be a little repetitive when it comes to battle strategy.
Summary: I think the first thing that I thought when I played Starcraft was how much it seemed like Warcraft. Actually, I thought, "Isn't this Warcraft with just different names?" There are definitely similarities but there are also some things that separate ... read more

Pros: Great Replay Value, Multiplayer, Unit Selection..
Cons: Mediocre Graphics..
Summary: Introduction
Brilliant. Beautiful. Amazing. Awesome. Just a few of the words I would use to describe Blizzard’s blockbuster real time strategy games, Starcraft. This game puts you in one of three races – Terran, Protoss, or Zerg. Each ... read more

Pros: Strategy
Cons: Unbalanced in some areas (fixed in Brood War)
Summary: Being a good old ex-Westwood fanboy, I've never liked Warcraft. The game just felt too much of the same after playing Command & Conquer. I mean, c'mon at least have quasi-different sides. I felt that Blizzard was doing nothing but mooching off Westwood's ... read more

Pros: three races, LAN multiplayer is fun. Um... anything else guys?
Cons: Graphics suck, sound suck, a full game of suck, Total Annihilation is way better.
Summary: I don't know why everybody loves this game so much. Like I said twice before, it's a game full of suck. Bellow, I listed the top 5 bad things about this game.
1. Graphics look cartoonish and everything on the screen is huge! These cannot ... read more

Pros: Internet game, VERY fun, addicting, cheap, '98 game of the year
Cons: none. excellent game
Summary: STARCRAFT, POSSIBLIY THE BEST BLIZZARD GAME YET
I actually bought Starcraft on ebay, because when I bought it the battle chest was near $40. But now the battle chest is only $20 and I highly recommend the battle chest. It comes with ... read more

Pros: Excellent gameplay, excellent balancing, excellent sound, excellent story. Need I go on?
Cons: Larger land units can be quite stupid about pathfinding.
Summary: StarCraft. A game for the ages. That’s the only way to describe StarCraft.
Unfortunately, simply saying “a game for the ages” won’t do. I have to provide details. So, if you find that the first description lacks something, read on.

Pros: Excellent graphics, good storyline, challenging missions, nice mulitplayer
Cons: Exceedingly addictive
Summary: Although a long time coming, many people eagerly awaited the release of the once, and continued smash hit Star Craft. The game was the obviously the brainchild of the creators of the War Craft series, but, it brought to the gaming world something new. ... read more
