For those who still remember Windows ME & those who are still trying to forget it, i present you with my humble review of Starcraft II.
The firt thing that i noticed about the game is that the game is not a PC resourse consuming bitch like most games these days..
Saying this, these are the minimal requirements:
GFX: GeForce 7/8 Series o Radeon 1000/2000 de 256 MB RAM
CPU: Pentium 4
RAM: 1 GB
Recomended:
GFX: GeForce 8000 o Radeon 2000 series de 512 MB RAM
CPU: Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2.
RAM: 2 GB
Installing the game is pretty much straigth foward as many games, after you login and authenticate your account to battlenet.com you get to the good part.
there are the same old 3 races, terran, prothos and zerg, as i have had the game for only a week i'll be just talking about the terran race.
Playability: The game is played as every other strategy game you can select a single unit or a bunch of them, organize them as you like creating so called "squads" with combinations of units or a single tipe of units.
The AI of the game is pretty good i am playing in in casual and i have had some troubles with it, this doesn't mean they are not unbeatable, they are the exact oposite wich really let me down cos i was specting a bit more of a challenge.
Gathering resources is the same as in the previous delivery of these games just that it takes more time top gather resources, wich is a bad thing if you build build build, and procude units and you sent them all to their doom, and if they get all killed you end up with your pants arround your ankles....
There is a lot of new units to build for example ghost units wich are fully cloacked and with one of them you can take at least 7-8 enemy units till they realize you are cloacked.
Gameplay: Very straigth foward there is not much to say about this if you have played COH, AOE, and any other strategy game you will do just fine!
User inteface: For me this is what made the game awesome, you will navigate within 4 diff deck of a starship.
The Cantina or tabern how you want to call it, there you will hire mercenaires, and hear funny stories and a bit ot the news of what is happening in the space.
The Bridge there you will play new missions or replay old ones watch cinematics of the avance fo the game.
The armoy here is where you will upgrade every single unit and buildingas the game advances and you get money by playing the missions some of them are not worth the upgrade, so choose wisely.
Tech lab every mission has bonus objectives wich will you will recive zerg or prothos research point wich will help you develop new techs for the units you already own.
I hope you guys liked this small review, i strongly recomend this game for those strategy freaks and those who loved starcraft will love the music in this one too!
