Good Points

Good graphics when it came out. So many strategies. Cheap price. Difficult, and fun. Blizzard sure knows how to balance the races. A well balanced game, and better then any game out now.

Bad Points

It's a little hard, and constant control on the units, and quick wrist movement is needed, which some people are not capable of doing. That is why WC3 came out with high HP units, as the units are tougher to slaughter in seconds. Takes a long time to get good (about 1 year or more). Quitting for 1 month can severely result in loss of huge skills.

General Comments

Never gave 10/10 on a overall game rating.. but the Blizzard Starcraft PC game is a must. Why? This game set the standard for average strategy games, just like how Micheal Jackson set the basic standard of music video. Even through 2005, Strarcraft is beating all the new strategy games on staying on top of WCG, WEG, ELS etc... It beat Age Of Empires, Empire Earth, and a lot of other games that tried to take its place.

But why is this game so popular? Even though the graphics stink compared to new games, it's because of the numerous strategies. Strategies made from this game can be near infinite, and how constant control is needed, and one mistake can kill your expensive troop in a blink.

The main objective of this game is to be the best around the world, rather then beating single player mode. Single player isn't bad, and will give you a nice tutorial vs the expert players lurking in b.net.
