If you have played Activision's Dark Reign, you will love this one. Many of the features and commands are similar. Graphics are great with some cool special effects. All the units are small enough, so playing on a small  monitor won't take away from the viewable battlefield. Reasource and troop  management are not complex like many other games of this type. You will not  have to memorize many complex keyboard shortcuts(unless you want to)  because the mouse is used for most of your input commands. Starcraft still  holds its own after almost 2 years from the release date. I highly  recommend Starcraft for those who enjoy a good strategy game.
