Starcraft resta senza dubbio uno dei miei giochi preferiti in assoluto!!
Purtroppo non riesco ad attivare l'opzione per giocare offline, mi porta ad una schermata che si blocca.
Nonostante i tentativi e le ricerche sui forum il problema non si risolve.
Avrei messo volentieri 5 stelle..

Das bessere Starcraft 1

Reviewed in Germany on November 13, 2010

Ich habe gerade Starcraft 2 durchgespielt und verstehe nicht, was die ganzen Kritiker haben. Gut, es ist von der Spielmechanik her das alte Starcraft mit Verbesserungen und keine Neuerfindung des Genres, aber etwas anderes war ja auch nie geplant.

Wenn man etwas kritisieren möchte, dann könnte man sagen, daß man zu nahe am Geschehen dran ist, aber das wars auch. Veränderungen gibt es im Detail, wie das die SCVs automatisch reparieren, man sich Credits in Missionen verdient, mit denen man wiederrum seine Truppen zum Beispiel mit mehr Feuerkraft aufwerten kann und noch vieles mehr - das würde jetzt den Rahmen sprengen. Die Story ist blizzardtypisch toll erzählt und teilweise kann sich zwischen zwei Wegen in der Story entscheiden.

Also, wer ein komplett neues Echtzeitstrategiespiel erwartet hat oder eben eines, das sich an aktuellen Titeln orientiert, der sollte die Finger von dem Titel lassen.
Wer Fan des ersten Teils war/ist und wissen will, wie es mit Jimmy Raynor und Sarah Kerrigan weitergeht, wer den ersten Teil mit besserer Grafik, mit besserer Bedienung und spielerischen Verbesserungen weiterspielen und dabei eine schöne Story (wie im ersten Teil) erleben will mit Rendersequenzen, die derzeit ihresgleichen suchen, der kann bedenkenlos zugreifen.

Juego original y puede usarse en castellano

Todo perfecto. Con el juego se recibe una caja con el DVD de instalación que no he llegado a usar. Una vez recibida la clave que viene con la caja y registrada en Battlenet, se descarga el cliente desde la web de Blizzard en el idioma que se desea y no se vuelve a necesitar la caja.

Phenomenal single player, Intense multiplayer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2010

As an on-and-off player of Real Time Strategy games, I hadn't really taken an interest in StarCraft II. However, after watching some multiplayer games just prior to launch, I decided it looked a lot of fun and picked it up.

The part that actually stands out most for me is the single player campaign. There were obviously some concerns regarding the fact that this is only the first of three parts of the StarCraft II storyline, but Blizzard have more than justified this decision. Rather than the 10 missions of "Kill the other team" that I have come to expect from RTS games, there are 26 missions, all of which feel noticeably different. Without spoiling too much, they vary from an intense "defend the base against waves of enemies" to a train robbery, to saving settlements from enemy hit squads while trying to shut down the shields of an initially invulnerable spaceship that is also threatening you, to a prison breakout in which you control just a sniper, to a mission in which you must frequently move your base to avoid an oncoming danger.

Interspersing these missions are beautiful cutscenes and sequences on your ship where you can chat to your crew and purchase upgrades and research to improve your units. These are also very well done, and accompanied by some excellent songs, both unique creations alongside fantastic covers of well-known songs in an appropriate "Space Western" style.

Outside of the single player, there is the well-known aspect that has made StarCraft of past the "National Sport of Korea" - it's finely honed multiplayer. I was obviously very apprehensive about jumping in, but luckily the game offers a wide variety of AI skill levels to practice against, as well as the option to team up with a friend or a random player and play a team game against an AI level of your choice.

Once I actually got into the multiplayer, I found it incredibly satisfying, from the tactical, chess-like battles of 1-on-1 to the manic nature of 4-on-4 and 4-8 player free-for-alls. When you start, you get up to 50 "Practice games" with beginner settings against other beginners if you want them, but I only played four. After that, you play five placement matches which determine which league you are put into. I have found the system thereafter, which adjusts your position based on results (which can include you changing leagues where appropriate), to be excellent. It achieves Blizzard's aim of players winning around 40-60% of their games perfectly, as almost every player I have looked up is in that ratio.

The multiplayer gameplay itself feels incredibly well-balanced, and Blizzard have been updating and patching frequently since launch to ensure that any units or tactics which are overused are modified slightly to bring them in line with everything else. The game is incredibly easy to pick up, challenging to get to a high level, and near impossible to master. My only slight gripe is the lack of LAN play, but this isn't the end of the world and I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to patch it into the game in the future. If you haven't gotten into a Blizzard game yet, I highly recommend you do so with StarCraft II.

Good old starcraft

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2011

"its just like the original" they whine...

"i wanted some new groundbreaking gameplay with flashy bitz" complained others...

How many times have we seen a great game come out that blows people away and has the whole games community talking and then a sequel comes out to be a big disappointment because they actually changed the games dynamics, the essence of what made the game good, the frikkin MOJO of the game.

TOO MANY TIMES!

Starcraft 2 puts all these selfish idiots to shame with their incessant blubbering for "newer, faster, better, supercalifagalisticexpialidotiouser" (spelling nazis, go get bent)

Starcraft 2 is exactly what I wanted. More starcraft but better, more refined, balanced, interesting and playable.

Take this titbit and chew it mullingly
--------------------------------------

You want to take your drone/scv from mineral mining to vespine mining. Heres the difference between old and new.

Old Starcraft : Click SCV but whats this? OH NOES!!! WOE IS ME!!! he has a crystal already, and OH NOES! you have already clicked the Refinery. So you click the Com centre and he then... RESUMES NORMAL CRYSTAL PRODUCTION! Dam... more time wasted sorting micro shtuff out.

New Starcraft : Click SCV but whats this? OH NOES!!! WOE!!! he has a crystal already, and OH NOES!, you have already clicked the Refinery. So you click the Com centre and he then... runs off to the refinery and starts getting vespine like you wanted.

Its the little things, and there are many, many many, many, many manymanymanynamnyanmanaya more.

(Try clicking siege tank to go somewhere then hold shift and click siege mode b4 he gets there, hey presto! he travels and auto sieges when arrives... nom nom nom, tasty zerglings)
