Comments: This is nearly a perfect game. As you progress through the missions, and the storyline, you command the forces of the familiar Terrans (my personal favorite), the alien Protoss, and the nightmarish Zerg. The three races are brilliantly balanced and yet unique from each other. For instance, the Zerg regenerate health, the Protoss have shields, and the Terran can repair damaged units. The story line is engaging and the graphics are evocative even at their relatively low resolution. You can play multiplayer on a LAN or across the internet. Or you can simply challenge computer opponents on the numerous multiplayer maps. There is room for a wide range of player abilities in these maps. For instance, if you are really good, you can go it alone against seven computer opponents. Finally, I should note that the game is not only perfectly balanced with a lot of play value for the money, but it is downright fun - and never tedious. I highly recommend Starcraft to anyone who enjoys strategy games. Note: Some of the movies are inappropriate for children, regardless of your views of the rest of the game. -AC
