DESCRIPTION

In the distant future, a small group of human exiles have been doomed to fight for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength, espionage, and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy peace. But as resources and fuel run short, the Confederate nations find themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss.

To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown species — the horrific Zerg — has entered Protoss space and is destroying everything in their path. The time for war has come.

You join the battle in this detailed 2D real-time strategy game first as the Terrans, but as the campaign progresses you play both the Zerg and the Protoss forces. Multiple single- and multiplayer scenarios beyond the campaign storyline offer a solid variety of gameplay options. Free online multiplayer games are available on Blizzard's network, www.battle.net.

As an added bonus, a scenario and map editor is included for players to edits and create their own games. ~ Rich Hernandez, All Game Guide
