An Awe-Inspiring Creation
StarCraft is a game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, and is, to this day, a major game in the RTS genre of games. It, and it's expansion, Brood War, are played by millions worldwide. It is referred to as an e-sport, and truly sticks to the Blizzard mantra of "Easy to learn; hard to master."
I got this game through a friend's suggestion; wanting to hone my skills in RTS games, I eagerly accepted and bought the game so I could play alongside him. Over the past several weeks, we've been doing the occasional 1v1, and are generally having a great time. After buying it, though, I had played through the campaigns so that I knew what I was doing, and found a moving story within it.
The story of how the human super-nation falls, and a new one is formed, and how the heroes are cast off as traitors amazes me. The depth of the Zerg and Protoss campaigns are inspiring, and truly better than some more modern titles' stories.
Control groups were a great thing to be introduced to, and I was pleased that there are no "Hero-Units," as there are in Warcraft 3 (except in the campaign). In this game, you control a massive army, and attempt to stymie (and destroy) your opponent's economic and military progression. By doing so, you defeat your opponent, and seize victory in your grasp.
I eagerly look forward to the sequel, StarCraft II, and its expansions.

Incredible RTS Game that started it all
This game is phenominal to say the least. It is very fun and was the first RTS game i've ever played once a friend introduced me to it. It is so much fun to play and very addicting. The only reason I sold it is because not many people play online, and the ones that do will take you out in a heartbeat and the single player missions go by pretty fast. This game would be incredibly fun to play at a LAN Party but I never went to one yet.

Best game ever.
I had this game since the first time that it came out. After 12 years, I still enjoy playing it. It just an intense strategy game where you have a lot to learn and to improve.

starcraft for 20 bucks, you can't go wrong
I now see why this game was such a hit. It deserved to be. Even ten years later it's a fun game to play. I'm running it on a xp machine home. For 20 bucks? What a bargain. If you didn't play it before you now is your chance. Play it before Starcraft 2 comes out!

The best rts without a doubt
First of all this is a 1997 product and people are still buying it and still playing it. In Korea this is like soccer in Europe and baseball in USA. Need to say more or do i have to compare with other rts games. Yes there are a lot of good rts games out there but this is the one you should play if you consider yourself an rts fan.Three races to play, excellently balanced, magical gameplay and a lifetime of replayability. if you don't own a copy then this is a perfect gift to make to yourself.
