so i’m about 4 hours into the campaign and i must say, VERY nice.
I wasn’t expecting much, i mean i liked the first one, and brood war was bad *edited*; figured this would be decent. Haven’t tried the multiplayer, but the highlights for the single player:
-Easy to learn if you haven’t played sc ever, or were just living under a rock for the last 15 years
-the story is awesome. Refreshes you on any back story, just in case you were lost in the first (i was lol).
-mercenary units are cool, buy elite warriors for cheap
-The game in between missions is awesome. You can talk it up with the different characters to deepen the story and experience.
-You can upgrade units, and buildings at the armory.
-purchase mercenaries at the cantina.
-Research Lab requires you to complete bonus objectives to missions, and the award is class specific advantages towards enemies. (protoss and zerg) Each research level is spread out by 5’s, the more bonuses you unlock the higher your meter goes up. Kinda sucks, at each level you can only choose 1 of 2 different advantages. example being level 1 zerg research bonus: requires 5 pts, choose 1: automatic turrent on bunker or 150 hp to bunker
