Description

Brood Wars is the addon expansion set for the massively succesful RTS (real time strategy) game Starcraft.

Brood Wars adds a whole new set of single player missions (notable for their consistent and engaging plot) several new units and upgrades for each race, and great new map types and mission editor functionality.

Brood wars is a great multiplayer game, very playable over a 56Kbps modem, still quite popular with both mac and PC users (beat you wintel friends :) ) and free (battle.net, blizzards online gaming service, does NOT provide internet access-- i.e. you have to have AOL, earthlink, or the like) with a ladder ranking system and cheating prevention (by blizzard, who are pretty good about fixing hacks in updates).

Brood wars requires Starcraft (full version) to play, but is a great game (though old) with new updates still being released.

StarCraft Part II

Sound: The music in this game is chilling, and fits the mood of the levels well. And the sound effects of death (shooting etc.) are very crisp, and…well…KILLERIFIC! Also the voice commands in the levels are neato sounding, and really make you feel important.

Game Play: This game is almost exactly like the PC version, with all the same missions, characters, units, and buildings, but with one main difference! 2 player compatibility! WOW! You and a friend can grab a controller and duke it out!

With all the different levels and multiplayer capability, this game promises many, many hours of play!

This game WAS good and still is on the PC, but now it is better then ever (minus the Internet play). You can play this game for game for hours, trying to beat the game or trying to get better to kill your friends! Me, well I give this game a 4 out of 5 on the DAN REYNOLDS SCALE OF SATISFACTION! That means it's a fun game, but it does get boring after a while, because you kind of do the same things on every level. But for all strategy game fans this is definitely a winner.
