The below video clips are game play footage covering an entire battle of Starcraft II. The narrators on this video sound as if they are sports announcers covering a hyped up football game. It’s a bit strange to hear this type of announcing for a video game, though it surprisingly is very effective. It certainly helped me understand what was going on in the game better.

Actually now that I think of it (and I could be wrong cause I do not watch sports) they did a better job than sports announcers as they concentrated on the game that is being played versus the people playing it, so that means no meaningless conversations. Don’t be surprised if they start talking so fast that all you start to hear is a high-pitch sound, because they do talk fast in this.

Anyways, back to the point, if you are wondering how Starcraft II will be played, this is an excellent way to find out. It’s just as if you were watching someone’s computer while they played the game. From the looks of it Starcraft II will be very similar to the original, except with some supped-up graphics and new units. Some may say this is bad, but I am glad it is essentially the same, it means that I will actually want to play it! Unlike Warcraft III where they added “heroes” that you must level up and whatnot, that got tiresome quickly. Or World of Warcraft where it switches game genre. (On a side note, I recently tried WoW, and wow, I thought there were better graphics in it? Graphics are about equal to the *browser based* game: RuneScape). View full article for the videos.
