Twelve years after Starcraft captured the minds of gamers throughout the world, its much anticipated sequel has been released!
Starcraft II features the same three factions: Terran, Protoss and Zerg. Its first release (that’s right, the first release) has a playable Terran campaign mode.
There will be two more SC releases in the future, each featuring Protoss and Zerg campaigns.
So what are you waiting for?! Get on Battle.net and play the most epic RTS this side of the millennium!
