I have to admit, knowing that all of the creative team behind the original Starcraft had left Blizzard, and considering the aborted attempt at Starcraft: Ghost, I didn't think they could pull it off. Now that I've seen the trailers and gameplay footage, I couldn't be more ecstatic! It's designed EXACTLY as I hoped it would be. Not radically different, pure RTS, extremely well-balanced and a graphically updated version of the original. New units, new gameplay mechanics, new strategies and a new story, but so familiar to the fans that it will fit like a pair of comfortable shoes. The only dissapointment I expect is to find out it won't be available for three years! That's Blizzard.
