Pros

Extremely polished.
The most solid, familiar RTS around.
Varied, fun missions.
Replayability.
Briskly paced campaign.

Cons

A big bag of cliché.
Expensive for an expansion.
Not so good dialogue.
Matchmaking still has a few kinks.

Heart of the Swarm delivers a fun single player experience and updates to the multiplayer portion of the game. It took a while to get here and the 20 or so missions available is a little shorter experience that I would've liked for waiting two and a...

I’m not sure I like Kerrigan. She's a little disturbed. It seems there is no pleasing some people, lest of all the Queen of Blades. But maybe the fact that I don’t like her is an example of good characterisation, which is the mark of a...

Kerrigan's vengeful rampage may come with a generous helping of cheese and some tedious boss fights, but the chance to play with increasingly powerful units and abilities makes up for a lot – as does some inventive mission design and greater-than-average replayabilty appeal.

The big question hanging over StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is whether it validates Blizzard's decision to split StarCraft II into a trilogy, each chapter focusing on one of the three major races of the StarCraft universe: Terran, Protoss and...

An overarching theme in Heart of the Swarm is the Zerg's evolution, and how they must always change to survive. Many fans will want more units, mechanics, and tweaks to the StarCraft formula. But remember, evolution takes time... and apparently more than three years.

If there's a single competitive bone in your body, you really need to play Heart of the Swarm. If you're only interested in the tactical tasting menu of the campaign - you still need to play it. Good luck, have fun.

Just as the Zerg are always evolving, so too is Blizzard's iconic real-time strategy series. Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm doesn't just upgrade and expand the exceptional StarCraft formula--this game also hacks, cuts, and refines the core...
