A great RTS
To be honest, I'm not very good at RTS. I enjoy them, but i completely and totally suck ass. I heard SCII was a good game, so I picked it up.
Just like every other RTS, I suck at it. However, I can safely say that this is the RTS I had the most fun with. The campaign is very fun, and the story is very interesting, but I think that you could appreciate it more if you played the first Starcraft and had any idea what the hell they were talking about half the time. They try and set the story up for newcomers but it took me a while to get the whole jist of it. I thought going into it that every mission would amount to making more troops and having a better economy than the AI in terms of minerals (which you need to create troops) and gas. (to make special troops w/ minerals) How wrong I was. Very early on in the campaign, very fun and varied missions start arising, like a colony infested with zerg infested terrans (zombies) where you have to protect your camp by night, and go around destroying infected structures by day. There are a lot of cool and creative missions like this, and it keeps you guessing what the game will pull on you next.
The multiplayer, I'm sad to say isn't as good. If you like RTS, I'm sure you'll love it, I on the other hand, could not get into it. I suck, as I've gotten across, and I never really had fun getting owned by people who are supposed to be just as good as me. But if you're into RTS MP, they have a ladder system where they pair you up with people with the same skill level as you. So if you're good, you'll get paired with someone who's good.
All in all, SCII is great fun, even if you're an RTS noob like me. So if you're on the fence about it because you're not good, don't woory just don't play MP :p.
