StarcraftII is an RPG game yes, but not a mmorpg it is a game created by Blizzard Entertainment© (Blizzard.com) and it is a startegy RPG which is about 3 races battling each other across the galaxy Terran, Protoss, and Zerg are the races. Terran is another name for human so in all escense their human, The Protoss are energy powered organisms that seek to irradicate the zerg. The zerg are exactly what people in the 1950's thought aliens were except instead of intelligent beings they are raving monsters killing and eating eachother and everything around them. Their technology is completely organic.

Thats what starcraft is.

Thx,

Incorrect... by a lot.

Starcraft is not an RPG it is an RTS; large difference. The lore or story is practically infinitely more complex than humans + a Protoss wanting to kill Zerg. It's the other way around. Zerg want to incorporate Protoss into their genetic strains, at least in the start of the story... Anyway, going over the story is simply overwhelming because it is so vast and deep.

I'm also not sure that we thought Zerg looked like what aliens are either. Ever seen a Sci-Fi film from then? Remember tall, skinny and large black eyes or robots? Common view of them were humanoid where as Zerg are insect like in design with quite a number of original configurations. If you like to view some nice art I'd check out art based on Starcraft.

I know I'm kind of a noob on Starcraft but thats at least what I thought of it.. And also their were two types of aliens pl thought then. Tall skinny big eyes/head then there were the ones who resembled a dog more than humans and ate things.

Ha ha, I suppose so. The tall ones were called Protoss. The Protoss were very advanced in Technology and could wield psionic powers. The Zerg were an insect like races that had a vast variety of different looking beings making up their masses. The Terrans were humans that were just beginning to use basic psionic abilities but the Protoss were still way ahead.

StarCraft 2 is like Command & Conquer and old StarCraft.
