Single Player Campaign Experience & Story
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty brings Single-player campaign experience onto the next level, this time, there is in-game interaction, upgrading your components and stuff but most importantly, the story blows you away. Also to take note, there are certain points in the campaign where you have to make a decision.
The game is bigger and better, bringing an epic tale of James Raynor and Blizzard never fails to tell the story in a grandest way possible. It’s like watching a movie, you wanna keep watching and trying to keep that bladder of yours shut just because the story keeps you on the toes. Wings of Liberty does it well and interaction with characters give you the extra flavor getting to know more about them which plays a role in the story. The solo campaign will consist of 29 missions and the player is able to tailor the route and upgrade path.
With twelve years of time making the game, Blizzard knows it have to do it well as the community is waiting, its fan base entrenched and I believe they did it well. It is not just your usual real-time strategy game with that typical “cut-scene/cinematic->game->cinematic”. It is a whole lot more.
Oh for those who aren’t aware, there is a mini-game “Lost Vikings” in the single-player campaign itself. Try figure out where it is. It’s pretty obvious. ^^
Here is a video found on youtube for a recap of StarCraft I
Battle Gameplay (Skirmish, Multiplayer Maps)
While I am no expert myself to really tell you the very micro balance mechanics between each unit or how a map should be made to be balanced. Battles and unit control in StarCraft II are awesome. The usual shortcut keys and that familiar feel of StarCraft remains. Awesome firefights, zergling drops and your hit and run experiences are top notch.
Maps are aplenty and if you are up to it, StarCraft II also comes with a built-in world editor where you can make your custom maps or even campaigns perhaps custom gameplay too. StarCraft II packs a Challenges mode which the player has to clear various missions to get achievements. It is a little corner of fun from the usual campaign and multiplayer madness.
It is never-ending fun once you startup the game. En Taro Adun, brave warrior. Not to mention, SEA folks will be able to access North American servers
