5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS WHY LIMITED INSTALLATIONS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA!, May 23, 2008

This review is from: Blizzard Starcraft with Brood Wars Expansion (Video Game)

Over the last 10 years that I first installed STARCRAFT I have replayed it countless of times. Every time a new overhyped game disappoints me, this is one of the games I pull out of my library to be reminded what a GREAT PC GAME LOOKS & PLAYS LIKE! (others include UNREAL, BALDUR's GATE, GRIM FANTANGO and SHOGUN:TOTAL WAR)

Everyone has his/her favorite RTS and no one can claim that STARCRAFT introduced the futuristic RTS genre (that would be DUNE). Nevertheless, the great, crisp and clear graphics, the balanced units and the strategic terrain all contributed into turning STARCRAFT into a true classic. This is a game that passed the test of time, not only because its aging graphics are still acceptable but also because it is one of those games that stays with you. Forever.

So, the next time some gaming industry MBA (who probably could not tell an RTS from an cRPG) tables the idea of LIMITED INSTALLATIONS, what he will have primarily accomplished is to have his game forgotten within a year.

StarCraft is the best game ever created, I started playing its and a teenager and still play it right now. I recommend buying the game, check out teamliquid.net, iccup and youtube. But don't buy this product, buy Battle Chest instead!

My Battle Chest Broodwar dish got damaged, I bought this pack to replace it out of curiosity. This set is = Battle Chest minus 2 guide + much slower installation

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Strategy game ever and will ever be!, January 3, 2012

Since 14 years and until now this game is the King. Even the Starcraft 2 is not as good as this one. For online gaming and network gaming with friends this game pwns all.
