10 using this out of 5 plus 5 average non-sense. No offense meant, but I dislike high average scores and this is the first I remember noting it in one of these threads.

The reasons are fairly obvious. The insane level of polish, and wonderful commitment to online. The game is balanced far differently than release, and has a lot of new stuff to try out in the form of maps and the like. Almost all of the user complaints about "b.net 2.0" (actually more like 4 or 5 but whatever) have been addressed to the best of my knowledge. Admittedly it is hard for me to say as I thought most of them seemed a little silly save for cross regional play. Correction, the cross regional play might not be in come to think of it. I am too lazy to check.

The story was told amazingly well for a RTS, and was quit satisfying on the whole. The pacing was amazing and the use of cut scenes perfect. The game kept a nice diversity to the missions, and I truly loved how they introduced new units. The ability to stop banging my head against a wall and try to recruit a better unit for a hard mission is a very nice touch.

I truly love this game and can't wait for a sequel. If I wasn't such a wuss about losing I would probably be playing online still. I just don't get that much enjoyment out of getting my nuts stomped, or those never ending TvT matches. I still kind of wish I could have gotten a 4v4 team going just for the fun of it. Sure we would lose, but we could lose with style!

I believe LAN is the only thing that hasn't been addressed. But seriously. Who has 4 PCs that can run SC2? Everything else has been addressed.
