StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival.

Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer unparalleled online play with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game.

Compelling Stroryline
In the distant future, in the darkest reaches of space, the ghosts of the past whisper your name. You are Jim Raynor, a marshal turned-rebel on a vigilante crusade to bring down the Dominion and its nefarious leader, Arcturus Mengsk. Haunted by betrayal and remorse, some believe you may have given up the fi ght. But you have promises to keep... and a need for vengeance that's long overdue.

Call Down The Thunder
Whether you command the mysterious Protoss, the nomadic Terrans or the ruthless Zerg, you must decide how to outwit or outgun the enemy in an unforgiving universe of intense strategic combat.

Weapons Primed
Devise and deploy merciless strategies with over 30 new units and weapons at your command. Torch foes with the Hellion's fl ame thrower, ambush adversaries with acid-spewing Banelings or deploy the Mothership's disruptor pulse to annihilate your enemies.

Master Your Destiny
Lead Raynor's Raiders in their quest for vengeance and glory as they burn a path across the galaxy. You choose which missions to take, which story-lines to complete and where to invest your hard-earned cash.

Mega Multiplayer

I already commented StarCraft II, well, this box is just amazing, you got all magic on the StarCraft II DVD and then the extras.. wow.. it's a blast from the past, from 12 years lag after StarCraft had launched first time, now we got StarCraft, StarCraft: Broodwars in a 2 GB pen drive, a CD with SC2 soundtracks, interviews, extras and more extras, even to use in World of Warcraft.
This box is expensive but it's well worth the money.
I just bought mine, when you are going to buy yours? :)

 And I hated RTS lol

I never played RTS because I just didn't like it at all.
After my world of warcraft friends got addicted to this I decided to give it a shot.
Ofc at first I waas terrible at it, but after I bit I got the hang of it and now Starcraft 2 is just about the only game I still play.
The thrill you get from this game is insane.
the community is the best I've ever seen, tournaments are ridiculously big, etc...

I highly recommend you try this game.
Everyone must give starcraft a shot, it's one of the best games ever made!

 Well worth the money

Firstly i love starcraft had the original years ago. Bought this as a special treat for myself if you have the money get it, I traded in some stuff and got it cheaper at a shop. The case is alot smaller then you think it's about the same thickness as 6 dvd cases led down next to each other in groups of 3. The Key chain is smart but quite heavy, not sure about the practical use of it. The comic, concept art, soundtrack and making of dvd are all produced to a high standard. you also get some in-game content that isn't mentioned on the box just as extra profile pictures, different emblems for squads and i presume at some point the bonus unit and the pet for wow. (still haven't played wow or found the extra unit. If you can afford it get it before it's too late.

 Amazing RTS - second best ever

I was a massive fan of the original Starcraft and Brood Wars games and have been eagerly awaiting a sequel ever since. However, in the past 10 years my taste in video games has definitely moved on. Back then I absolutely adored RTS games of all sorts; my last properly played RTS was Dawn of War. Since then, and even before (since the golden age), I have moved onto playing a lot more console games and have almost all but forgotten the RTS. Fortunately SC2 has brought it all back to me. This is a brilliant game which has a compelling storyline (although definitely not as good as the first two games) and a multiplayer as good as the first. In fact, I actually prefer playing multi this time around because the matchmaking system is second-to-none. I honestly think matchmaking on SC2 is better than any good console games, and the SC2 game interface (menu, ladders, achievements etc) are excellent. One criticism which many have directed at this game, that it is going to be released as three parts and they will be charging a premium for all three, does not bother me in the slightest. I suppose I can understand how this can be seen as unfair to the younger generation but - I imagine - the vast majority of the sales of these games will probably be coming from those who can afford it with ease. So I am very much looking forward to the next instalments to carry on the captivating storyline and further the multiplayer to even greater depths. Overall I think this is a stunning game and it plays better than any other RTS I've ever played (excluding SC1/BW of course). Blizzard have stayed true to the original and made an updated game which plays just as well as the original did, and in my opinion that was the main achievement in producing the sequel, even if it did come 10 years later; it was a wait I'm happy to have made. 10/10.
