Game Review: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

 The launch of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty on July 27^th was a successful one for Blizzard Entertainment. Within 24 hours Blizzard sold 1 million copies, and within 48 hours that total climbed to 1.5 million copies.

Not only is the game the best selling PC game of the year, but it’s also the fastest selling strategy game of all time.

Starcraft 2 fisrt attracts many players only with its loading screen, with Jim Raynor, the main character of  this version. To be able to play Starcraft 2, you will need to sign in to Battle.net 2, your activities, achievements in game will be stored into your profile page. Battle.net 2 also offers you the ability to create groups, connect with your friends and better multiplayer mode.

Loading screen

With the following system, you can play the game at Ultra graphic setting, but its not going to run smoothly in big-scaled battles.

CPU:  Core i3 2.93GHz
RAM:  4096MB DDR3
VGA: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (1 GB VRAM)

Basically, the gameplay is pretty similar to the older version, so you won’t have problem getting used to it. While playing, you’ll see cut scenes or conversations between the characters, the face of the characters will appear as they talk. The graphic engine has been upgraded so these cut scenes wil be more interesting to watch.

Hyperion ship

After completing a mission, Jim Raynor (you) will return to the Hyperion ship. This is where you can see your battle results and achivements, and upgrading your technology (for exaple, buildings, units’ skills)

With the whole new Battle.net 2, you’ll be able to find players, invite your friends into battles. The multiplayer performance is satisfying as you can play smoothly with other players.

We will update more information about the game soon.
