StarCraft II is a popular strategy video game that revolves around three species fighting for domination. This best-selling game brings you dozens of challenging levels, lets you play against users from all over the world, and offers you a chance to test your strategic skills in an amazing gaming environment.
This application is the sequel to the original StarCraft, a game that allowed you to choose between three species (Terran, Zerg, and Protoss) with individual campaigns. In StarCraft II you don't have this privilege; you start playing with the Terran race in the Wings of Liberty act, continue with Zerg in Heart of the Swarm, and finally with Protoss in Legacy of the Void (not released yet).
Even though StarCraft fans had to wait 12 years for this sequel, these two released acts (Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm) surely compensate for the lost time as they bring you amazing graphics, a captivating storyline, and stunning cinematics.
The one thing I don't like about playing StarCraft II is that it no longer offers the ability to play directly over a local area network (LAN). You have to create a Battle.net account and play against other users only online.
As for the rest, StarCraft II is an amazing strategy game that provides you with a fascinating storyline, amazing graphics, and challenging missions for you to complete in a race against time.
