Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty Review

Star Craft II: Wings of Liberty is the first part of Starcraft II.  Blizzard is planning on releasing several Star Craft II games with each of them having a a different story.  They decided to do this to make more money.  Instead of buying one game with a lot of campaigns you will have to buy multiple games.  A lot of people love this game.  Game Informer gives it a 10/10 (the last one given in three years).  They way I look at it is that if you don't already have this game and are planing to play online you should not get it.  I got it about a month after release and I am do terrible online.  The game give noobs like you and me fifty warm up rounds (I skipped them and did the five games that places you in a bracket).  I some how managed to win one of the five games.  Now when I play online I usually lose in fifteen minutes.  In other Real Time Strategy games like Age of Mythology and Age of Empires it usually takes at around twenty minutes for the first attack.  In Starcraft II you are attacked after ten minutes of playing the game.  As for me, I like to make an empire, get resources, get all the upgrades, and so on.  Maybe RTS games online are not my cup of tea.  The graphics are good along with the campaign.  What I like most about the campaign is that in between missions you are on a ship and you can get upgrades and talk people.  (This is unheard off in an RTS).  I also liked when you are on a mission you get people communicating with you about the mission of the left side of the screen.  The story was okay but I never played the first Starcraft (that may have helped me understand it).  The graphics are good but I have seen better.  With this game being pushed and pushed for a release date you would expect the graphics to be at least as good as Red Dead Redemption.  One positive thing was that you did not have to pay a monthly fee like World of Warcraft.  I would have played even less of this game or may have not purchased it if had   Like I said, if your not already playing online then expect to get you smashed in.  For that reason, and others, I give this game a 75%
