Top 5 Star Craft II Strategy Guides

One of the games that gets consistent attention, despite its age, is Starcraft, especially the latest version. Today at MMO Explorer, we're going to look at the best of the Starcraft II strategy guide available out there today. Here's our top five picks for the Star Craft II strategy guide of choice:

Shokz Guide - this guide is very well written and nicely comprehensive. It caters to all levels of players, with newbies finding it very beneficial and old hacks finding it to have those little secrets you may not have found yet. Guides inside the overall mastery guide include one for each race, hotkey and lingo guides, and more. Price is a lifetime membership which allows online access and conversation as well as access to updates.

Joana's Starcraft 2 Guide - this is the strategy guide maker's first step away from Warcraft and to its cousin, Starcraft. This Starcraft 2 guide focuses on a full strategy approach with hints for all races, levels, etc. There is video for walk-throughs, though newbies will find it hard to follow as basics like hot key use are not covered.

Star2Pros Guide - the strategies in this guide are aimed mainly at BattleNet with video replays from the two pros who've written it being continually referenced. Explanations of each strategy are given, but this guide lacks any material for game play itself, focusing entirely on strategy. The BattleNet player with experience will find this guide very helpful, but anyone looking for a general Starcraft II strategy guide will likely see it as lacking.

Starcraft 2 Campaign Mission Walkthroughs - is a strong little guide, available for free on a lot of websites, that walks players through the beginning campaigns and non-BattleNet portions of the game. Great Starcraft 2 guide for beginners who are just starting with the game and want to unlock the whole stand-alone game and be prepared for BattleNet head-to-head.

Starcraft II Strategy Masters - hits the bottom of our list as one of the worst guides written for any game, especially as a Starcraft 2 guide. Compared to the others on our list, this one is purely useless. Unlike the others, this is a monthly pay-for-access site that features some mostly-empty blogs and forum postings and most of its content is merely links to other sites that give free access.
