Curtis on Starcraft 2

Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty is your basic game of rock paper scissors taken to a whole new level. This sequel from blizzard is the first part in a three part trilogy. It allows its user to choose from three races Terran (human), Zerg (aliens) and Protoss (highly advanced beings). No one race is particularly more powerful then the next, instead the races offer different strategies and it is up to the player to use them correctly.

The Wings of Liberty installment focuses on the Terran side of things, Blizzard does this to quickly and easily get new players into the story fast. As well they begin with the Terran race as they are the most simplistic and well-rounded to use. This game as well offers its players various tutorials to get even the biggest noobs good in a hurry. This was one of Blizzards attempts to keep you from getting smashed online. This game boasts a sensational campaign mode featuring 26 missions which will keep you playing for at least 24hours. This Campaign takes place where the second one ended. With the discovery of the queen of blades and of her old relationship with Jim Raynor. However even if you are new to this franchise, the beginning of the campaign does quite a good job of catching you up.

With 26 missions you would think that this game would get quite repetitive like its predecessor Starcraft 1, you would be wrong. Blizzard made these missions so every one isn't simply build an army and attack your opponent. In some missions you must reach and objective, in others you must defend your base. It even boasts a mission which forces you to be one character the entire level, and use cunning to get around you opponents. With gripping cinematic’s this game is not only able to appeal its users need for blood and gore. But as well, you will find it will be playing with your emotions and keeping you on the edge of your seat.

How can you end off a review on Starcraft 2 without mentioning the most epic soundtrack ever made. The music directors at Blizzard truly spared no expense when producing this game. For not only does it boast epic in game music, it also contains a jukebox with many custom Starcraft 2 based songs (lyrics included). The music in this game makes the player want to have the most epic battle possible and helps add to the many amazing features of Starcraft 2.
