I have been playing this game for 5 or 6 years. It is the best game period. It is somewhat difficult but not impossible to complete. Plenty of levels and missions. Good controls, great graphics for it's time and still stands up well to this day, great sound, good music, great storyline. There is a campaign editor, so after you have finished playing the regular game you can create your own game or play some of the custom games that are already provided. I keep waiting and hoping that Blizzard is going to do a quality sequel to this game and right now I am very disappointed that I have not heard anything to indicate that they are. One more thing, although system requirements does not state it, it will work on Windows XP, it has on mine anyway, without using the compatibility mode I might add. This is a great game do yourself a favor go out and buy it, now!

I've been playing this game since 1999. My cousin introduced it to me first and I'm glad he did. When my sister went to the US, she bought Starcraft Battlechest for me as a present. It includes the Original Starcraft and the Broodwars expansion plus two strstegy guides from Prima.

This is the best game to hit planet Earth. I've been playing this game recently with my friends and cousins. I'm glad that we are able to play again after a hiatus of more than two years. Starcraft gives an incredible feeling, a rush. It's like my therapy or temporary escape from reality. I only play this once a week (Saturdays) and it is my highlight of the week. I use the Protoss. I didn't have the chemistry with the other races.

This game is highly recommended. You really have to use your head to come up with strategies to defeat your opponents. There are three races to choose from: Terran, Protoss and Zerg. Put your skills to the test by engaging a battle with your friends or you can go to Battlenet. If you want long hours of fun and challenge, go buy this game NOW before the stocks run out.

This is still the best game that has ever been made. I hav Brood war and Warcraft 3, but Brood War is a far superior game. People often say... "but Warcraft 3 has much better graphics." People have forgotten that games are about gameplay, not graphics.
WARNING: This game is addictive. I bought Starcraft right when it came out, and still play this game. The one problem is I will soon need to buy another copy because the label is starting to get a little scrached off and my computer is having a little trouble reading it.

Blizzard creates an expansion to an already hit game. Starcraft, the original version, was simply amazing. Now Blizzard added new units to make the game even better. New maps can be used and with these new units the game has improved dramatically. Terran gained two units a medic to heal all ground units as in marines ghosts and firebats and they gained a valkry (spelling may be off) Valkries are an all air unit they do not attack ground but like the terran tank when sieged they can do a great deal of splash damage. Their missiles fly out very fast and spread and I believe do 6 dammage per hit and shoot 6 rockets at a time. Protoss gained 2 units to my belief. The fusion of 2 dark templars now produces a dark archon which looks liek a regular archon but cannot attack. What it can do is paralize units and mind control them (in other words take a unit over until it dies). This although very hard to do can be very helpfull for instance if you take over a terran scv you can then build terran buildings and men. Even if you are maxed 200/200 population a new population will begin for terran units so you will have a new max of 400/400 units. COrsairs are the second unit are like valkries but never have to recharge for rockets. Zerg is the last race to get a unit I think they only got one. A tech advance for the hydra into a lurker. A lurker burrows under ground and remaisn unseen until scanned or a detector is near and sends spikes through the ground to kill ground units like marines. This unit is only good at close range and when unburrowed is useless. New Tech's are added and make this game simply amazing. IT makes me give it 5 stars.

This expansion set takes the original game to a whole different level with its new missions. Gamers who love plotting strategy will definitely enjoy this addition to the classic star craft.

Seller was prompt and very responsible. Item came quick and in almost new condition. Game works wonders to my emotional stability. Thanks for everything.

Gave this CD as a gift for a Starcraft fan who loves the game and is having a great time with it. Also, a very good buy.

I am glad to see they are finally coming up with a new starcraft game. I love playing this online but even with high speed internet I still see red pings for some people and there is still a whole lot of lag. I used to play the game with dial up when it first came out and had very little trouble. Sure there was red pings then too, but its been out for close to 10 yrs and the blizzard servers still have lag with me I even tried it at work where I have 3 times as much speed and it still has lag. but find the games where there is no red ping and you will be fine.

This is a great game. I remember playing it in middle/high school. I think I have been playing too much. Haven't completed all the levels yet but I'm enjoying it already. The price is a deal.

Best game ever! (I used to wait in line for hours in a library to play this game)!!!!!!
