I don't have an issue with the gameplay graphics, but I do have one with the animated sequences. The animated sequences with Raynor, et al, are not done well at all.

Raynor's face looks fine in cutscenes, but why have so many closeups of his ugly, chunky fingers? When Tosh is just standing around he keeps his arms a good 6 inches away from his torso, looking very ape-like. Findlay's shoulder pads have symmetrical scrapes and bullet holes. And why can't we examine the virtual striptease area of the cantina???

It's just kind of like, to me, unless you completely loathe the setting (And what's this 'cartoony' bullshit? That's as narrow-minded as saying you don't like black and white films...), why do you need another RTS outside of SC II? ... so yeah, I like it. A lot. Total refinement of a game that was pretty much perfect to begin with.
C&C is still up there with SC and the production is a lot better (their life-like cinematics and voice-overs are top notch) but I still enjoy SC because of the content, nothing better than a zerging roast

^ No, just terran. 26 missions though+more stuff so it is actually longer than the original games with 3 campaigns

Crap! So I'm assuming they're going to have the Protoss/Zerg campaigns as an expansion?

Hopefully just expansions and cheaper and not a whole game. Can't be a whole game probably, really, since multiplayer is already here.

Probably expansions.

They have to be expansions because they don't improve on the game at all, only extend the campaign. But the argument people are having about "Oh it's only 1/3 of the game" is purely marsupialed because as pointed out, there are 26 missions for terran + bonus missions from other races AND there is replayability value in choosing a difficulty setting and going through the game making different choices, so it is much bigger than the original StarCraft. Someone mentioned that a single playthrough the campaign took them 14 hours.

Just beat the game.

My impression is that compared to original SC, it's very easy in the campaign to mass a unit and overwhelm the CPU.

God my macro is ******* horrible, I'm in the silver division and I'm getting wiped because I'm fighting like 10 units vs 20 everytime. Bullshit placement tests.....

The dialogue for this game is god-awful.

Each race gets its own release

Were you playing it on easy? It sure as hell isn't "very easy" to do anything on hard/brutal

It really bothers me that marines have to be standing still to shoot.

Played on Normal, since I wasn't sure what to expect. Now I'm at a crossroads where I'm not ready for multiplayer, since everyone is much better. I wish they had even more of a novice league for guys like me who aren't concerned with micromanagement or dps or whatever.
