VERY good game, especially if you do everything

I am a huge fan of stradegy games. However a lot of stradegy games loose there fun after a while because you have mastered it and nothing changes. This game is different. In addition to regular gameplay and missions you can play online for against other people play. There is also games called map settings games. this is why it never gets boring. People are always making map settings games that have nothing to do with the accual starcraft game. Anything from SCV football to snipers, these can all be made and played online againsed other players, and since new and different maps are being made all the time, it never gets boring. Definetly a good game for any gaming fan.

One of the best games ever

I have had this game ever since it came out in 1998, for the first few months, my entire family was addicted (my DAD, who never played games, was the best of the family ;-)) After that, I got new games, and it settled some dust on the shelves.
A few months ago I decided to put it back on the computer, and give it another try, and gues what, it was just as great as when I first got it, if not better, for now I had dsl so I could play it online!
I've read threw many of the 1 star reviews here, and a few comments:

-About no strategy: If you play online you live or die on strategy, sure, if you only join noob games there is little strategy, but play with some better players and you will see you have many things to learn.
-Bad graphics: It came out in 1998! And it is pretty good for 2d graphics, they have never bothered me in the least.
-Boring story: This is one of the most expancive, most detailed storylines in a game ever (and I'm a big RPG fan so I can know) With many emotional moments that will bring tears to your eyes at times, sometimes of happynes, sometimes of grief (OMG the last cinamitic made such a large lump in my throat)

Now for the good sides:

-Very diverse races, I had specialised in one race, and when I tried another one I had no clue how to build and was brutally slaughtered in a noob game (while with the other race I could almost play in expert games)
-Best singleplayer story ever, it is so detailed, so emotional, to understand everything you also must read the 6 page history PER RACE in the instruction book, it tells how they came into being, their history, and how they ended up where the game starts, it adds such depth to everything, you understand everything so much better then.
-GREAT custom maps, such as the battle of Helms Deep, my personel favorite (LOVE to be flamethrower Gimli ;-))
-Good tactics needed, whether you like it on small or large scale, if you want huge massive battles go for a round of Fastest, where in no time you can have huge armies battling eachother, in which you need to develope tactics for that kind of battles. Or, if you like small scale, very tactical play where the player with the best tactics wins, go for a round of Lost Temple, or Hunters, so for everyone, the kind of map that fits your playing style!
-HUGE online community, there are tens of thousands of people playing thousands of games almost all the time, with clans you can join and clan wars organised. There are always games you can join, of all sorts of game types, even in the early hours of the morning ;-)
-Best game for the very low price, don't know what it goes for now adays but I'm sure it's pretty cheap, so do yourself a favour and buy this game ;-)

As a closing note, don't waist any more time and get this game! ;-)

THE BEST RTS GAME EVER

This is the best RTS game ever created, I have played it since I bought it 98. Well not all the time but I alweys come back to it when all the ather games get boring I never get tierd of SC. Ofcourse it's the Multiplayer game that makes it so good the real campagin is good but you whont play it to many times I think but The Multiplayer is exelent.

THIS IS A GAME YOU MUST HAVE!!!

Amazing

I have been playing this game ever since it came out,its fun to play at battle.net and its also free, you can also use your dial up internet connection. this is the best rts series that have ever been made. i remember in highschool my friends and i would play battle realms(its also a good game) but after a while we got bored and went back to starcraft. This game is the classic and a must buy. I have bought it 3 times because i lost the other 2. Its also cheap.(also buy brood war)

BEST PC GAME EVER CREATED

This game has loads of gameplay plus you can play online. You can choose to play as one of the 3 races: Terran (humans), Zerg (Biological Creatures), or the Protoss (Advanced Aliens). When you play online you can be by yourself or with other people playing online. There is also the single player experience where you choose to play with one of the races and complete 10 missions for each race.THIS GAME ROCKS. If your thinking about a different game forget it and by this. When i get to my house around 3:00 i usually play it for 3-5 hours without getting up. BUY IT
