That's right. I don't like it. I loved SC1. I lost way too much of my life to it sixteen years ago. SC2... I mean... wow. Sure, the balance is good, the combat is good... but what the frig man... The graphics engine is just sad. World in Conflict from 2007 kills it... Heck even Dawn of War from 2004 can hold a candle to it reasonably well. The in engine cut scenes range from meh to horrible. Some NPC characters look like they were modeled in 2003. Really really half baked graphics engine. It plays like SC1... but it just looks soooo hoorrible. "Ultra" settings don't look particularly ultra. Maybe if it were four years ago. And yes, I realise it still runs silky smooth with the entire screen crawling with units. So does World in Conflict. And they look better. And it's three years old.

I think its a great game still.......but yea just came out way too late. I remember I was all pumped up in 2006 when they had that marine hell, its about time teaser trailer, but then it took another 4 years until the actually release. By then I was pretty whatever about the game.

I still played it a lot for 2 months but then quickly grew tired of it. Now I am really waiting for the next expansion, hopefully with new units. I do not think it is anywhere close to as popular as sc1 where everyone you knew and their moms were playing it.

Hahahaha! You're like 100 years late to the party.

I was the first (but not the only) one to critique Starcraft 2 way back in like august... it's december now.

I don't think there's anything to be said about Starcraft 2 that hasn't already been covered in posts, comments, and even cartoons.
