StarCraft II

StarCraft II continues Blizzard's celebrated real-time strategy series with a large science-fiction campaign, competitive multiplayer and three highly distinctive factions. Terrans rely on adaptable human technology, Protoss deploy advanced alien machinery and powerful warriors, while the Zerg overwhelm opponents with biological armies and relentless expansion. The campaign combines base building and tactical combat with cinematic storytelling, while multiplayer provides a much deeper strategic challenge for players willing to learn the enormous number of possible unit combinations and tactics. Resource management, scouting and battlefield positioning are all essential, and small mistakes can become extremely expensive. StarCraft II demonstrates why the RTS formula remains compelling when its factions are carefully balanced. It also demonstrates why 'I'll just play one match' is often a dangerous sentence.
