    So, im not really a Strategy game preson, im more of the FPS jnkie and more things of that nature; However, I just saw the Battle Report 3 here on GB and I thought that Starcraft was a really cool game and I really wanted to get into it.


    But what do you guys think, should I get the first starcraft adn play it for a bit and get a better feel for the game or should I just dive into Starcraft II?

    I'm the same as you man and the original Starcraft is one of the only RTSs that I could ever really get into.  Looking forward to the second.

    Get the first StarCraft and play it for a bit to see if you like it, or can get into it. If you can, awesome! It's an amazing game. If you can't well... then it's just not your thing and that's cool too.

    Buy the battle chest, so you get Brood war too. Not many people online on the original non-expanded starcraft (although more than you would expect for a 12 year old game).

    @darkgoth678:

    I have a few friends that play it all the time, but I can never really seem to get into it probably cuz I'm not good at multitasking lol, but I say it dosn't hurt to give it a try if you got the spare cash.

    *I'm an FPS type of guy myself but I'm open to all kinds of games^^

    Yea the graphics are pretty old, but the gameplay is really timeless.

    Starcraft is 1 disc, and the expansion (Brood War) is also 1 disc.
    I bought them individually though, not the battle chest, so it might be different.

    Nah, the Brood War disc is the second disc, it just intalls both as one install which is good.
