GAME PLAY
This time I played a multiplayer game against my friend. I played as Zerg and he played as Protoss. As I mentioned before, I'm only really familiar with the Zerg, with made this game play a lot more interesting. But, it also proved a disadvantage as well, since I'm unsure how to defend myself against certain attacks, and I'm unsure about the basic strategy of the Protoss, so it leaves me a little blind during the game. I was able to get into this game a lot more, and the fact that I was playing against my friend made it more interesting. Unfortunately for me, he was familiar with the Zerg, so he was able to play a bit more effectively. Even though he ended up beating me in the end, I found this session to be a lot of fun.
DESIGN:
I think this game is pretty well designed. It's built so that certain races have certain advantages and disadvantages over the others so it's pretty balanced. As I learned in this game and in games past, it's really important to know all the races, not just the one your playing. This gives the game a bit more strategy and planning, all that end out in a fun gaming experience. It takes a while to learn all the aspects of the races, but I imagine that once the player accomplishes that, the game loses some of it's greatness, because you can basically derive a formula for executing your wrath. Just because of the style of the game, the flow is very nice, and you can pretty much play a game all the way through without getting distracted or bored.

SUMMARY:
Starcraft is a strategic war game where you manage resources, defenses, and offensives as one of the three races that are in battle in space. The three races are Terran, Zerg, and Protoss. You have an aerial view of the map, and your objective is to explore the map, defeat all your enemies, and keep you and your allies undefeated.
GAME PLAY:
I played the Terran campaign, in which I am given instructions to defeat certain bases and protect certain characters. This is a race that I'm not too familiar with, and has a completely different unit management that what I'm used to - the Zerg. This obviously caused some frustration while I was playing the game, but the game is still very interesting to play. Because of your ability to browse the map, you can attack with one army, and be building another up back at your base, all at the same time with little difficulty. Ultimately, it was a good gaming session, and I look forward to my next.
