Real time strategy games can be boring if you want some action packed game. You might get action in this game, but you're simply moving multiple units across the map. Like most Starcraft games, you have three different races and different units and buildings to build. To some this can be boring.

This might be Starcraft 2, but it has the same aspect as the first one. You might get new units or buildings, but you still have zerglings, siege cannons and the zealots. The story is a bit different this time, but that's about all that is not the same.

Graphics can be hard to run on older machines. With the older computer, Starcraft 1 can play on almost any computer out. Now, you get a error the computer doesn't meet the requirements to run the game.

Of course they have the same old races like the Protoss, Zerg and Terran. Maybe they could have spiced it up a bit and made a good new race that came part to the story. However, that would add more stories for another time.
The price for Starcraft 2 now is $59.99 at any store. However, in a few years the price will be lower and at a better price. All PC games go down in price. Although, Blizzard has always made good games today, purchasing games such as Diablo 2 or Warcraft 3 is at a 30$ price tag.

All you need is a digital number saying you bought an account and a digital download. You don't need the disc and it makes it easy for you to purchase online. However, this stops people from buying it used and saving money. Also, you have to sign up with battle.net.
Starcraft 2 had a lot of players the first day it was out, but was it worth the time and money waiting? They held off on the production for 2 years when they first announced it. So, why wait for it and buy it full price? Do you think that Starcraft is your type of game?
