BLIZZARD Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm

 

VERY good expansion, I had a blast in single player and the additions in multiplayer have been a nice cherry on top. lBlizzard did their homework on Starcraft, wish I could say the same about Diablo 3

Updates can be a little hefty on the download side, be sure to open the game every now and then to not get too far behind

Disapointed

 

I've been really happy with Newegg in the past, and this is the first time they've really disappointed me

Shipped fast, game included

Basically, I only bought a physical copy of this because I wanted a nice box for my rather extensive collection of blizzard games. Unfortunately, the item was poorly packaged and it came with a lot of damage. I guess that's what I get for using super...

Some perks to it as opposed to buying a digital copy

 

Complimentary heart of the swarm note pad and it was about 10 bucks cheaper because of a discount code I had and came the day of release date. It was actually nice to buy the box for a game again. I had the pleasure of looking through it and reading...

Only con I can think of is if I lost the box I would lose my CD key, but that's not much of a con. You may become addicted to this game ;)

BLIZZARD Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm

 

Buy it! You will not regret!

Good story ; Good graphic ; Good music ; Extra units ; Easier campaign achievements than WoL ; I am a fan of SC, this is indeed a very good expansion version. For the campaign, most achievements require you to play normal difficulty only, which is much...

Wish the campaign could have been longer

Fun

 

Fun game, play it multi all the time

This chapter is way shorter than the first one, makes me think its not really worth $40 for the single player campaign

Starcraft is great

 

Using chat-bots to communicate in the original Starcraft chat channels got me interested in computers and programming. Long live Starcraft.

Fun single player. Continues the story - makes me want to play the third expansion ; Same game we know and love ; Thank goodness we don't have to pay to play online

Somewhat pricey - thankfully Newegg knocked some money off for early buyers ; I'm not sure multiplayer changed much ; One thing that I really miss about the original Starcraft is the chat channels

Best RTS Campaign TO DATE!

 

Excellent and Well Scripted Campaign ; Very Well Done Interface ; Fun Achievements and Portraits ; New Fun Multi-Player Units

None

SC2 HotS expansion

 

Kudos to Newegg again, I pre-order the game, shipped to me on launch date 3/12/2013

nothing so far, zerg op

Consumer review by:

Awesome!

 

Gameplay is a welcome (and long awaited) addition to SC2:Wings of Liberty ; The evolution system is incredible. Much better than the Terran upgrade system ; And the story is well-written (so far - not finished) and filled with interesting back-stories...

My computer needs to be upgraded to avoid lagging during the solo campaign... Back to Newegg

Must have game!

 

Currently running a Core i7 3770K @ 4.2 Ghz + GTX 660 OC rig. Let me tell you that combo trounces SC2 with the video settings maxed out. FPS can range anywhere from 60-150 fps depending on map and number of units. Used a Core 2 Duo with a Radeon 5670 3...

Campaign storyline is highly addictive. I just couldn't stop playing till the game was over. One good thing about this game is that it finally gets many players to become comfortable with the Zergs. WoL did a good a job of introducing the Terran and...

Slightly easier than WoL. Could have used more of a challenge especially on "Brutal" difficulty
