StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Review

The Zerg rush is finally here, but is Blizzard one with the swarm?

The bottom line is this: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is a very good expansion. The campaign is solid, but I can’t help but feel it could have been a bit more robust. The improved multiplayer more than makes up for this fact though, so if you’ll...

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm review

It's a game of two halves, but then it always was. Once again, StarCraft II is split between a heavily scripted singleplayer campaign that's in equal parts epic and overblown, and strategy gaming's most ferociously competitive, tightly-balanced...

As far from a token add-on as you could imagine. Big, brash, cheesy singleplayer and subtle, thoughtful multiplayer improvements make StarCraft II's first expansion a must-have.

Heart of the Swarm does not quite reach the lofty heights of its parent title, but it's a decent follow up and a worthy entry into the Starcraft canon. Blizzard’s ambitious mix of classic strategic gameplay, excellent multiplayer, and emotional...

Starcraft II: Heart Of The Swarm review – Zerg rush

The first expansion pack for the world's most successful real-time strategy focuses on the alien Zerg, but is it still just more of the same?

The already excellent multiplayer is enhanced and improved in subtle but useful ways. The new units are all great and the new upgrade system is highly versatile

The story is pure sci-fi shlock and yet not quite in the realms of ‘so bad it’s good’. Campaign is very linear and the missions as clichéd as the characters. Expensive for an expansion

There’s little attempt at innovation in Starcraft II’s first expansion, but enough refinement and fine-tuning to please fans both new and old.
