Starcraft II for Mac

When the first of the three Starcraft II games emerged last year, most fans of this classic Blizzard game were stunned to see how much the company had improved the game while staying true to its decade-plus roots. Starcraft II Wings of Liberty hit shelves with a lot of fanfare and interest, selling fast.

The other two in the series (each focused on a separate race: Starcraft II Wings of Liberty focused on the Terrans (humans) while the others focused on the Zerg and Protoss respectively) came out shortly after.

In this review, we're looking at the Starcraft II for Mac versions of the game specifically, here at MMO Explorer. This player group is often overlooked as most reviews seem to focus on the PC or attempt to be generic between the two.

Starcraft II Mac has gameplay much like its PC counterpart, though the controls are slightly different to fit the Mac. Graphics are often more detailed as well, thanks to the generally superior graphics engine and display that many Macs include.

The three races are very different from one another and require specific strategies for domination. Which is the hardest is a matter of opinion, but most newbies start with the Terrans first because they are a balance between the other two races. The Zerg are based on numbers (more is better) with generally weak individual units, but units that work well in tandem and en mass. The Protoss are the opposite, with relatively strong individual units that take a long time to create and who are very resilient.

The gameplay of Starcraft II for Mac is awesome and well worth the purchase if you're into strategy games and are a fan of the undying classic Starcraft and Warcraft games.
