1st Game Critiques #2 - Starcraft: Brood war

-Game concepts: This is a real time strategy war game by Blizzard. A player choose one of the race, terran, zerg and protoss, and compete each other. A player must gather resource located on the map and build an army and destroy the enemy. Each race has its own unique style of units therefore winning a game depends on how the player uses it

- Why I love this: There are two things that make this game fun; Challenge and competition. Before this game, the other real time strategy game only had a computer as an opponent. Although computer can make a precise decision when it comes to the unit control, it cannot react well against any new strategy that a human player uses. However, this game offers a free online game server that people can access and play against other human players in the world. This makes the game so much fun because people don’t play like a computer so there is never same pattern in the play hence it’s more challenging.
