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 through Battle.net, the company's world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game.

Features

* Fast-paced, hard-hitting, tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game
* Three completely distinct races: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg
* New units and gameplay mechanics further distinguish each race
* Groundbreaking single-player "story-mode" campaign
* Vibrant new 3D-graphics engine with support for dazzling visual effects and massive unit and army sizes
* Full multiplayer support, with new competitive features and matchmaking utilities available through Battle.net

Quite True. It will be VERY succesful. We might even see history in the making if we spread goodenough.

Lol, yeah that was from Weird Al.
That comment about it not cutting it was not serious btw, hence the Weird Al quote. Im just saying they want all the money they can get, who wouldnt?
I disagree that everyone has heard of starcraft however, I know several people who would know NOTHING about it still.
I only heard about it after my korean friend moved over from Seoul.
That was back in uh.. 2002 though, lol

Lol I think hardcore gamers should know about it, it is the most famous RTS (or atleast should be)
Think Seoul will have the highest % knowledge of what it is by far though, lol.
Wonder what sort of % we're talking there.. maybe 80%?

Don't know about that, Red Alert is closeby.

Yeah, I have absolutely no proof to back up that claim, for all I know Warcraft III is more famous.
Never played Red Alert, but have in fact heard of it.
