StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Reviews - briefly
(hx) 11:17 AM CEST - Jul,30 2010 - Post a comment / read (6)
The first reviews for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty have started to roll in:

Bit-tech 9/10 - The multiplayer experience will, as with all strategy games depend very much on your patience and whether you've got the will to learn all three race's tech trees, but Blizzard has done as much as possible to ease new players in. From what we’ve seen of it so far the new and improved Battle.net is great and there are already mods and user created maps like tower defence starting to appear, surely a positive sign for the future.
Gameplanet 9.5/10 - Multiplayer is limited to Battle.Net. Players cannot compete against one another over a Local Area Network – something that has been a point of contention among the harder kernel of longstanding real-time strategy fans.
GamingHeaven 94/100 - StarCraft veterans will also find themselves well catered for in Wings of Liberty as, like the single player experience, the multiplayer will feel immediately familiar. There are minor interface tweaks and the aforementioned balance changes from the original game but ultimately the core mechanic is the same and experts will be able to pick up and play without having to think. It really is quite amazing how Blizzard have managed to make the game so accessible for new and existing StarCraft players.
Joystiq 5/5 - StarCraft 2 didn't change the formula because it didn't need to. This isn't just a fresh coat of paint on StarCraft, it is StarCraft, right down to its pixelated bones. It's proof that games don't have to be disposable, that some games are so creative and balanced and fun that they don't go out of style or disappear over the years. Some games, it turns out, really are timeless.
Kitguru Gaming 4/5 - StarCraft 2 is assuredly a masterpiece, there is no other way to describe it. You can kiss days and weeks away of your life once you get into the game and while the gameplay itself hasn't evolved much, this is a deliberate decision from Blizzard which we admire. Why should everything always be 'new' and 'fresh' to be good ? They have built upon the core mechanics of the original and updated it in the most important ways for 2010. The story elements and overall game play are top of the field and they deserve to sell many of these games over the next year, we are sure they will.
NZGamer 9.8/10 - StarCraft II is the best RTS game released in YEARS and one of the best games on PC full stop. If you like gaming at all, you owe it to yourself to check this out. The ultimate RTS has arrived.
PCMag 4/5 - StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is everything I hoped it would be. Nothing could quite live up to the hype surrounding the release, but, even so, this is a great game. The story's well paced, and the strategy and resource-management missions locked me into finishing this game. I can only hope that we won't have to wait another 12 years for the next chapter in this excellent series.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty GPU & CPU Performance - At 1920x1200 using the ultra quality settings, anything faster than the old GeForce GTX 260 is a little pointless and that's saying a lot in our opinion. For those better used to extreme resolutions, the newly released GeForce GTX 460 graphics card appears to be the ultimate weapon in StarCraft II. This card was able to match the GeForce GTX 480 and Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards even at 2560x1600. Therefore we can safely and happily conclude that you won't need to spend over $200 to enjoy StarCraft II in all of its glory at any resolution. When it comes to picking the right CPU for this game things become a little trickier. The problem lies in that StarCraft II will only utilize two cores and as a result a Phenom II X4 965 will not be any faster than a Phenom II X2 555.
T-break 9.4/10 - There were however, a few technical problems with the game. The first one was that I was never able to finish creating an EU Battle.net account – the website would just timeout and I was stuck at the game's login screen. However I hardly hold this against Blizzard as their servers were probably inundated with account requests once the game went live. What I did find however was that just after the fifth mission, the game would crash out on me and force me to reboot my laptop. No matter what settings I changed or tweaked, the game refused to run any further, and I was forced to delete the game and install it on my desktop PC.

Last week's revelation about StarCraft II's production costs wasn't exactly accurate, and journalists can't play advanced copies of the game for review purposes.

...Failbook integration lol pfff ..Wings of tyranny really.

So true (but I hardly give a tick to fancy graphics, totally different styles where the SC version could have been much better than the total overdone 3d style/shader changes and inconsistency) anyway goes well with http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h165/benjiwaa/MW2.jpg

...The crAptivision MW2 fuck up that makes COD4 still look more valuable.

Also anyone giving that game more than a 8.5/10 are fucking idiots!, giving a game that removes functionality and has been outright set to screw you, especially when the previous 12+year old title had included better right from the start without the fucking ridiculous restrictions! (including playing offline against AI on maps aka skirmish, fucking blizztard assholes) Aswel as including more of a complete 3race storyline. Maybe by the time its 3/3 release is all out and multiplayer has been improved it might be worth its 9/10 overall.

Though tbh I think it will still be shit and restricted, perhaps it might be time to start funding piracy instead they seem like the only good liberal guys left in the gaming scene with these tyrannical corporate scumbags they're like the fucking gestapo wanting to greedily control and spy on everything.

Read a few reviews because I was bored. Biased mostly in all reviews and also steer clear of the problems in the game. Did any of them mention playing the beta and experiencing problems that were early in the beta? Honestly, did you really expect someone to review the game and give it a fair score. I played the game, so these dicks reviewing the game can say whatever they want I ain't going to be another sucker to fill their coffers.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel for good reviews lol.

IGN 'user' review. Average 7.7.

I really really found the whole SC2 campaign entertaining, excellent cinematography and audio and the greatest real-time strategy game of all time. 30 Significant variety and multi-objective missions and packed with new introduction of new units and a varied assortment of play-changing scenarios for each mission. I may say all the sacrifices that made by not buying warcraft gold for a month just to have the SC2 copy are all worth it.
