SUMMARY

An RTS where you can be one of 3 races each with their strengths and weaknesses. Has both campaign, where you fight you're way through various levels to save your respective race, and multi-player options.

GAMEPLAY

As of now I have played through about half of the Terran campaign and am enjoying it thoroughly. It has been several years since I have played through this game so it's just like new. When I first started playing I wanted to start with the Protoss' campaign but I soon learned you can't start with whichever race you would like it was a bit annoying, but I soon got over it and started my Terran campaign.

The Terran campaign has turned out to be quite enthralling. Before each level you are given a briefing and occasionally a cinematic. The briefing gives you your objectives for the level. When you're getting your briefing the CI is talking to you as if you were right there in the space shit you are getting briefed in. It was pretty cool because you got to feel like you were really there and the mission you were about to set forth on was yours in real life.

Nicely done, but elaborate on the gameplay and design (ie. how the AI is setup, differences between factions/ game balance, what makes this game fun, where it takes place and how does the setting contribute to game play.) --Chuck (grader)
