Product Description
-------------------
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the sequel to Blizzard
Entertainment's 1998 hit StarCraft, which has been hailed by
players and critics worldwide as one of the top real-time
strategy games of all time. StarCraft II will once again center
on the clash between the protoss, terrans, and zerg, with each
side deploying favorite units from the original StarCraft, along
with numerous upgraded and brand-new units and abilities that
allow for fresh tactics and strategies. The game's new
3D-graphics engine maintains the speed and responsive control of
its predecessor while rendering hundreds of units onscreen for
massive battles. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty's solo campaign
will continue the epic saga where it left off in StarCraft: Brood
War. The storyline chronicles the exploits of
marshal-turned-rebel-leader Jim Raynor and features both familiar
faces and new heroes. Players will be able to tailor the
experience, choosing their own mission path and selecting
technology and research upgrades to suit their playing style
throughout the 29-mission campaign. Several challenge-mode
mini-games will also be included, with focused goals designed to
ease players into the basics of multiplayer strategies. In
addition, dozens of multiplayer s will be available for
competitive play through the new version of Battle.net, which is
launching alongside StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. This new
version of the service has been built from the ground up to offer
an unparalleled online play experience, with new features such as
voice communication, character profiles and achievements,
stat-tracking, ladders and leagues, cloud file storage, and more.
