As much as everyone here likes bashing SC3, I can't
agree with any of these bashings. SC3 did not suck. I
can look at this because I haven't played 2 or 1 so I
don't have to worry about comparing them. As a single
game, I was glad I bought it. The meelee's were fun, the
plot was fun to follow, and it was a difficult game to
beat as long as you didn't overuse ICOM. I love the
races, especially the Spathi. The things wrong with this
game are, poor music (it's way TOO soft) and the fact
that colony management was not done that great. It
should've had something more interesting to that part.
The story was excellent. Lastly, the online options were
kind of weak. They should've developed it better for
multi-player.
Now I have never played 1 or 2 as I said earlier. So
this allows me to look at it at a different perspective.
However I do know what it's like playing one game and
then being dissapointed with the sequel to it yet the
sequel might actually be good. All my friends loved
Privateer 2 that hadn't played Priv 1. But all my
friends who played Priv 1 were extremely dissapointed
with Priv 2 (especially me since Priv 1 is one of the 10
best games of all time in my opinion). So maybe if I go
and play 2 I will no longer care much for SC 3. I know
my friend who played Priv 2 who then got to play Priv 1
still has my Priv 1 cd (I let him borrow it 6 months
ago) and he hasn't played Priv 2 since.
