SC 2 is an RTS much like Warcraft 2 , 3 Command Conquer series . You build bases and units to fight an enemy force . SC 1 and it ' s bloody amazing expansion Brood War is also available on their website . Both games have a fantastic campaign , the multiplayer has a multitude of options coop campaign , coop challenge mode , your typical match play and tournament 1 v 1 up to 4 v 4 either versus AI or other plays , ranked and unranked . For me , what I enjoy is all the custom game modes in the Arcade where you do like RPG style MOBA maps , MAFIA is great because it ' s all text based chat you have an assigned role and you try to win the game , there ' s Tower Defence . It ' s truly endless fun , but I do highly recommend getting SC 1 Brood War and playing the campaign it is long , but it ' s riveting , and then moving into SC 2 . However , if you just buy SC 2 , you be at too much of a loss . It ' s just SC 1 is an absolute classic . I had around 3000 hrs in SC 1 Brood War . Probably around the same in SC 2 now .
