I got my collectors edition of Starcraft 2 today and why Im not playing it is because blizzard wont allow me to play it until launchday!! Im glad I got all the other goodies to keep me company until launch

The Soundtrack is worth every penny! Great songs, especially "Public Enemy", "Card to play" and "The Hive". 10/10

Artbook was a bit of a letdown, good pictures but too little of the Queen of Blades" 5/10

Behind the scenes DVD was real cool as it had all cinematics and some other cool stuff.
8/10

Dogtags in metal with inbuilt USB storage containing Starcraft+Broodwar was really nicley done! 9/10

Gameplay: Ok, singleplayer is awsome! Great cinematics, story and you choose wich mission to do and what upgrades fit your type of play. They even included a arcade game thats accessable after a few missions, and I mean old school arcade but with SC2 graph.

Multiplayer: After some matches with Tinwax and a friend of mine this is my opinion of the multiplayer. I will never ever play matches against random players because they removed the turtle aspect of the game in multiplayer. No more build up your defenses and when you feel safe prepere for offense. Defensive bunkers and towers die way to easy, just as in W3. In this game the computer aint my enemy, its my inability to spew units. But co-op is fun. The only way to choose wich map to play and against how many opponents and if you want AI in the game is to play unranked matches. All ranked matches are against random teams of "same" skill
You just pick 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 or FFA and your race and then its random matchmaking.

Summary: I will buy the next part since the story seems to be great, but multiplayer will only consist of games with my friends or TWK. Cause the hardcore players will eat me like a snack.

I will leave all that excitement for when I come back from vacations, around September...

now tbh I have never played SC but jsut looking at the trailer for SC2 looks like a game id enjoy however, do i need SC first?

I didn't have the first (nor did I play it!). But from the raves I've heard about the first, that's why I'm jumping onboard this one. I would think a fair number in the community will end up with this so it should lead to some fun battles

We just need to see if this one will be as good...

Eagerly awating the release here...
