(Continuing from my post in the 'games I got' thread...)
So I played three or four missions of SC2 yesterday. My cousin (we were visiting them this weekend) had it, so I played a few levels of the single player campaign. It's pretty much the same as the first SC, but with a few new units and 3d graphics. Not exactly pushing any major new ideas, unfortunately... I liked that WC1, WC2, and WC3 were each significantly different, Blizzard sequels felt like real sequels and not just add-ons. SC2 feels more like just a graphical overhaul.
I mean, because SC was the best game ever SC2 is great of course, but they could have pushed a bit more. I'm sure that they didn't because they didn't want to mess with what made the first one such a popular e-sport game, but still, somehow it makes it feel a little less.
Oh well, that's complaining about something really great. The real valid complaints are about the horrible restrictions and privacy invasions in the online mode and mapmaking... still and obvious must-buy though, despite how horrible that is. Does not buying it day one show Actiblizz my unhappiness about that stuff? :)
