Book Reviews of StarCraft Multiplayer Strategies & Secrets
Book Review: VERY GOOD GUIDE IF...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this book for several months. I read it in about two days. If you are a really good Starcraft player and have very good strategies (you can take on 4 comps or more) then this book won't help you. This book will help you, however, if you aren't that good. If it challenges you to take on two computers, this book will help you. I was already good at Starcraft before I got this book. The main thing I learned was about Zerg spells and variable fleats. This book has two main disadvantages: it does not include brood war units and it uses up too much space on unimportant information like unit and map properties. If you are very good at Starcraft, the best strategies you can get are from yourself. Hard core strategies can't be put on paper easily. One thing that I thought was very useless was the unit properties of all the Terran, Protoss and Zerg units. IF YOU ARE VERY GOOD, YOU DON'T NEED THIS BOOK! ...
Summary of StarCraft Multiplayer Strategies & Secrets
Considered by many to be the most anticipated real-time strategy game of the year, Starcraft from Blizzard Entertainment pits three races against each other in a baffle for galactic dominance. Blizzard is known for creating great games with long replay value.Starcraft is the latest and greatest from Blizzard Entertainment, the hit-making game company that was responsible for Warcraft II and Diablo -- each of which sold more than a million units. Starcraft features the game engine of Warcraft II with many enhancements.
StarCraft Multiplayer: Unofficial Strategies & Secrets focuses specifically on StarCraft's multiplayer mode instead of trying to cover every aspect and feature of the game. Penned by Gamers Extreme, a group of well-known hard-core game players (such as Dennis "Thresh" Fong, who cowrote the Sybex guide to Quake II), the book begins with a great introduction to Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment's free online gaming service and the (primary) Internet home of StarCraft. The guide then moves on to the actual nitty-gritty of gameplay, highlighting basic tactics and in-depth, race-specific strategies that will help you win no matter what race you play as--or against. --Michael Ryan
