I am now a good few hours in to the Starcraft II Campaign and thought I would share some first impressions with you guys. It rocks! You play as the Terrans ( The Humans ) if you don’t already know, The game is set after the first one , you play the part of Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgents against The Terran Dominon. Will he is busy fighting the Terran Dominon the Zerg show there ugly face again, lead by the evil Queen of Blades. You have to complete a number of mission objectives including mining , rescuing innocent colonists from the zerg and steeling artifacts from under the noses of everyone. The new RPG style interface is awesome this is where you managing researching , weapon upgrades and other options. The Terrans units seem balanced and have some awesome new additions and some old faces. I am very into using the standard marines as they are good all rounders and are able to fight both air and ground units and the marauders provide good anti-building and anti-larger unit weapons.
The levels are fun and feel like you are actually completing mission rather than just building a base and trying to wipe the other player out which makes the campaign and the story much more involving and interesting in my opinion. The all round game play is good , the user interface is well laid out and you don’t need a degree in programming to use it. The difficulty levels seem good , normal is challenging without making you cry. I defiantly think that Blizzard have made an excellent squeal in Starcraft II that lives up to and improves on the original which may other squeals seem to fail to do. Full campaign review will be up once I have completed the campaign.
