I don't really know what made the game great. There's just something different about it, a different taste. However, like most strategic games, you are to build an army and make them strong with the use of strategy in order to have a successful attack and eliminate your opponent's camps and forces. In the game, you are to choose between three creatures: humans (terran), aliens who I consider clean (protoss), aliens who I consider as slimy and eewy (zerg). Each is different and special, but their strengths depend on the players.

Starcraft has expansions. I don't really remember what made the difference. I think it's just a continuation of the story which is featured in a campaign mode. The company responsible for it didn't make more expansions after that period. I thought it was the last of Starcraft although it remained popular. Indeed, it is popular. There is a Starcraft gaming event which professional players practice for a lot.

Fortunately, Starcraft has not yet reached its end. Starcraft II will soon be released with more focus on its multiplayer mode than the previous ones. Graphics were improved as exhibited by screenshots. The different creatures will make a comeback with new things. Starcraft II is a game worth waiting for.
