RTS are a dime a dozen these days. They aer some old RTS games, however. One old one is Starcraft. I will rate these in several
catagories: Graphics, Controls, Sound, Single Player, and Multiplayer.
Graphics:
As I sia before, this game is old. Becuase of this, it is not 3D, so the pixel count on this game
is not that good. Unlike some games now, you cannot zoom in on the action, you are stuck in one view, but that does not affect
me.7/10
Controls:
This game makes commanding you units very easy. You point and click. It's that simple. Added to
make the game even easier, is groups. This game is the reason that games now have groups. It is a breeze to make and to control.
It helps make the game. 10/10
Sound:
This game's sound is very good. The unit noises don't get annoying,so you will not get annoyed commanding
them. The voice acting is good in the cut scences, and is convincing, although not the best. 8/10
Single Player
This game's story is very good. It's a Sci-Fi story, so it is fairly unbelivable, but entertaining.
I am going Verbatum here, " In the distant future a small group of human exiles have been doomed to fight for survival on
the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength, espionage and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy
peace. As resources run short, however, these Confederate nations find themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their
alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss. To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown and deadly species
known only as the Zerg has entered Protoss space and is destroying everything in its path. The time for war has come..."http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft/.
See, it's Sci-Fi. Anyway, there are three camapigns that you can do which all tie in, in one way or another. They are all
very good. I loved this Single-Player, but not as much as the original story-line. That one was very good. Together, I give
them a 10/10
Multiplayer:
This game's multiplayer is excellent. It's online multiplayer can handle up to 8 players online.
One of the best things about it is that you can make your own maps using blizzard's included map editor. It is very easy to
use. Also, many people make them and give them to you via battle.net. Battle.net is Blizzard's free online gaming service.
It is how you find games. It is very easy to use, unlike MSN services or Game Spy. It is easy to find games either custom,
or regular. 10/10
Pros:- easy interface
- accesable multiplayer
- good Story line
Cons: - outdated
Graphics
- Corny voice acting
Final Score:
9/10 Another Blizzard Classic!
