The entire country of South Korea just exploded!

It is finally here, after about 10 years the sequel to the number 1 and best selling real-time strategy game of all time, Starcraft.

As for initial StarCraft 2 impressions – the game looked very similar to SC1 – nearly identical user interface – graphic styles and unit proportions nearly the same – more flashy lighting effects but it seems like Blizzard didn’t want to mess with SC’s underlying formula very much. The screens they showed the video on didn’t display the video very clearly, unfortunately, but the game still looked pretty with some nice animations. We’ll have to wait to bring you any updates on what kind of story elements are in SC2 – hopefully they’re in the panel discussion.
