StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the long-awaited real time strategy sequel that combines a dramatic sci-fi single player story with a massive online multiplayer gaming component.
Arriving 12 years after the original game, which had incredible longevity and a massive fan base, StarCraft II has a lot to live up to. What makes it special is the three races you can play are very different, and yet well balanced, so how the game plays changes a lot depending on your choice, without any one player having an advantage.
Games of StarCraft II see you controlling huge armies, battling for superiority, or completing specific tasks in varied locations. You give orders to your units, and watch and manage as they head into battle. With highly detailed 3D graphics, it is undoubtedly hugely impressive to watch. StarCraft II's gameplay has been massively beta tested, so should arrive finely tuned and well balanced enough to keep the fan base happy.
The single player campaign in StarCraft II sees you through the Terran storyline. The Protoss and Zerg stories will be covered in the coming releases, although you can play as them in online games.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will no doubt put the series back at the top of the real time strategy tree, and light up the world of online gaming.
