But SC2 really is an awesome RTS game. Great variety in missions in the campaign. Great cutscenes, and a cool story. Sure it doesnt look like crysis. but its a freaking RTS. And i can run it on "ultra" 1920*1200 using a 4850, getting lag only in very few places in very few select missions. This game is great :-)
Ever played Dawn of War and DoW II? Chaos Rising? Company of Heroes?
Joint Task Force? Supreme Commander?

Any/All of them are good RTS. Starcraft II is to RTS what classic Out Run is to racing simulation.

You are right that there are variety in missions, great cutscenes and so, but the gameplay is disappointing.

Despite the popular claims, micro-management is almost but completely unnecesary.
It just happens that most of the people who plays SC has never played a different RTS game and they don't know what heavy-micro is.
