Reviews
- Starcraft II offre une campagne solo immersive et bien développée, avec une histoire captivante et des cinématiques de qualité.
- Le multijoueur est extrêmement bien équilibré, offrant une expérience compétitive riche et variée, avec une communauté active.
- Les graphismes et l'animation sont de haute qualité, et le gameplay est fluide et intuitif, même sur des machines moins puissantes.
- La campagne est limitée à la faction Terran, laissant les joueurs sur leur faim en attendant les extensions pour explorer les autres races.
- L'absence de mode LAN et la nécessité d'une connexion Internet permanente pour jouer, même en solo, frustrent certains joueurs.
- Le jeu conserve des mécanismes de gameplay dépassés, ce qui peut rendre l'expérience rigide et moins innovante par rapport à d'autres titres du genre.

The story is centered around a revolution against the Dominion Empire, with a focus on the struggle against the Zerg and the character of Kerrigan. While the campaign features engaging missions and character interactions, some players feel that certain elements lack depth and that the narrative serves primarily as a framework for gameplay rather than a fully fleshed-out experience. Overall, the story is praised for its immersive qualities and character development, though it leaves some players wanting more from its conclusion.
“Les choix que l'on opère entre deux missions ont une influence sur la façon de jouer ainsi que sur certains éléments de l'histoire.”
“Toutes les cinématiques et les rendez-vous avec Raynor entre chaque mission nous intègrent vraiment à l'histoire.”
“On termine la campagne avec un goût d'inachevé, certaines missions apparaissent comme vraiment secondaires et n'ayant au final pas de grandes conséquences.”
“Tout ceci, en particulier les interactions ou les choix de missions auraient dû être un peu plus approfondis pour donner un réel cachet à ce jeu.”
“La campagne solo est très bonne dans la mesure où le scénario tient la route et réussit à camoufler le fait qu'il n'est que prétexte à un enchaînement de missions.”
