Editorial Review: Product Description: The StarCraft Battle Chest is an incredible package of the great StarCraft games, on one DVD! Amazon.com Review: The full versions of StarCraft and the acclaimed expansion pack Brood War, as well as complete strategy guides for each, make StarCraft: Battle Chest a treasure chest for real-time strategy fans. Instead of two similarly powered enemies facing off, the three distinct races in StarCraft have unique capabilities and strategies. Everyone still competes in the RTS genre's typical race for resources, but that's the only shared trait. Terrans can move their bulky mechanized bases as necessary, while the reptilian Zerg grow their colonies and warriors from mutating larvae. Meanwhile, the noble Protoss warp in equipment from their home world using psionic powers. Not only does game maker Blizzard juggle the races' playability and match it with superb art and sound effects, it also weaves together an engrossing three-act plot. Early on, as a Terran magistrate, you spend a breathtaking 30 minutes defending against a Zerg onslaught. As the story unfolds around you, you'll experience the Zerg's hive mentality and decipher the mysterious Protoss by the game's dramatic conclusion. Missions vary in scope and are effectively framed with dialogue, chapter screens, and in-mission exposition. Multiplayer games are also very well represented by Blizzard's own free Battle.net service. If you'd rather play over a local area network, StarCraft will generously "spawn" up to seven copies so your friends can join in. In keeping with StarCraft's groundbreaking design, Brood War presents you with three sides of a galactic conflict. Scheming humans, insidious Zerg, and proud Protoss collide again, with stunning new cinematics setting the stage. Old friends and foes and ominous new arrivals give the story a breakneck pace, while a handful of additions to each race's arsenal makes for tense battles. Brood War also features stellar new environments and ambient art, as well as more than 100 additional multiplayer maps. Some missions require a bit of finesse, breaking the resource-gathering routine while making good use of the new units. Humans now have Valkyrie missile frigates as well as medics who automatically try to heal your grunts. New for the Zerg air force is the acid-spewing Devourer; the new Lurker unit provides heavy-duty (under)ground support. Along with the Corsair fighter, the Protoss reenter the fray with Dark Templar, which can merge to form the devastating Dark Archon. Unfortunately, units old and new still suffer from weak artificial intelligence in path finding. Real-time strategy games don't get any more epic or any more satisfying. --Jack Gardiner Amazon.com Product Description: This package includes both Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood Wars plus Prima Publishing's Official Strategy Guides, which offer you strategies, statistics, and details about new worlds to give you the upper hand in gaining control over the galaxy's resources.

 Rating: - StarCraft is a CLASSIC!Personally, I think StarCraft is one of the best RTS games of its type, ever made! At the very least, it is definitely the best one I've ever played (though people say WarCraft is even better!). I haven't even made it through the entire game yet, but the missions not only get harder as you move on, they also get more interesting. The way the game is structured, there are three campaigns in the initial part of the game: Terran, Zerg, and Protoss, and you play them in that order. Because ... Read More Rating: - Best computer game of all timeIn my opinion, Starcraft is and was the best computer game ever made. I played it religiously 8 years ago, and even now I pop it in to play every once in a while. There's so many thing you can do, online and off. The custom games on [...] give this game years, if not decades of replay value. The price is cheap, the computer requirements are low- Buy this game! Rating:  - Worst Game There EVER Was or Will Be.Do not even think about getting this game, if you are, than first of all look at the date i wrote this, now look at most of the dates of the good ratings, 90% of them are VERY old, the game play is horrible, i am not sure what blizzard was thinking when they made this, no heroes?!?! no main characters to level or anything good? just plain old boring repetition throughout the whole game, if amazon would let me i would make my rating negative, i think i would of had more fun burning the money it cost me. ... Read More Rating: - Favorite game to dateSpectacular game. Just a killer waiting for the second. But a must have for all gamers. Rating: - By FAR the best RTS game ever made.Starcraft is amazing. Not only is starcraft considered one of if not the best real time strategy (rts) game of all time, but possibly the national pasttime for Korea. This game is the only rts i have ever played with its possibilities of strategy, style, and adaptability. Starcraft is also the only rts in my perspective who has no single race (faction) who dominates, or has a 'rigged' unit, seen in many other RTS games. Starcraft is simply amazing. I have played this game since 1998, and it never gets ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
