StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is an excellent real-time strategy game (RTS), which combines an excellent single player mode and a unique multiplayer experience.

StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is high on realism and works in two game modes: single and multiplayer.

There are various missions in StarCraft 2. You take command of a huge number of armies that are battling for supremacy and power. Your task is to give orders to your units and manage the battlefield. Every action, decision and strategy can affect and radically change the dynamics of the game which is what makes Starcraft 2 such an intense and absorbing game.

The online multiplayer mode of StarCraft 2 is heavily populated with players who you can talk to via live chat. Technically, Starcraft 2 has very good graphics although this is one area that could have been improved. However, the attention to detail is superb and most importantly, the gameplay is very addictive.
