First Impressions?

Luvian · 07-29-2010, 10:47 PM

So what do you guys think of Starcraft 2 yet? My friend got it yesterday and I watched him play it some. It seem really great so far. They added strategic elements to the maps. If you've been following the game you probably know already. But there are things like tall grass that you can't see over but can cross or foot. There are observatories on hills and such to see farther etc.

I liked the graphics. They are a little cartoony but they're nice. I haven't played it yet but I hope I'll be able to give it a try tomorrow.

Nah, there is an offline mode for single player.

There is an offline mode but you must activate the game online once before.

I just finished installing the game. I'll let you know how it is in a little while.

First few mission are good.

Liking the Research angle and combining Terran Weaponary with Zerg & Protoss tech advancements.

Troop Upgrades & Merc's are also nice.

I don't do multiplayer.

ever.

I would still give this game 100/100, I really enjoyed it that much.

Normally I don't care for achievements and things like that, but i found myself trying really hard to do lots of them and will definitely be playing many of the missions again to get the harder ones.

Basically, the single player campaign was beautifully written, designed and built.

Haha hi guys! I haven't played that much of the game yet. Maybe 8 or so or the single player missions. But the game is really great so far. Anyone else bought it yet?
