The game is not really replay-able unless you want to challenge yourself for achievements, basically the game presents a single story (which I enjoy...

First let me say that StarCraft (and Brood War...) was my favorite multiplayer game, and top 3 on the single player list too. Having finally finished all 3 games, it's time for a review. Before replaying the first 2 SC2 games, I also replayed SC and BW.

The expansion gives you more than any other game. Its like buying another game! not only because the price but because the multiplayer provides days upon days of gameplay. I highly recommend. I have 2 accounts with HotS ^__^

I figure most people are familiar with SC multiplayer by now so I'll just say that it is as good as always and the new units add a fun wrinkle. The campaign is very good and the story is very rewarding for those who have been waiting since the 90's to see a humanized Kerrigan try and come to terms...

A big bag of clich; Expensive for an expansion

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm may be classed as an expansion, but it's also a couple of games in one. Like Wings of Liberty , the foundation it builds upon, it's a real-time strategy game with a multiplayer mode that's a genuine gaming phenomenon - as well as a full singleplayer campaign, an...

Incredibly balanced multiplayer; Best matchmaking system in games; Infinite replay value

Cheesy single-player story; Requires a copy of Wings of Liberty; Needs a big time investment

As always, the latest instalment in the classic StarCraft series is a game of two halves, with the single player offering a completely different experience to online skirmishes with human players.

Whatever your opinion about Blizzard Entertainment's decision to divide the game into three separate campaigns, there's no denying that this Zerg instalment makes the world of
