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.
SC II has no need for "micro-management"??

We must be playing very different games...


How do you define "micro-management"? In SC II, you don't generally select individual units to move them back and forth (though some extreme micro experts manage to do it); the actions are too fast paced and there are too many units to control to do this effectively. However, you have to micro-manage your troops to survive, even in single player at higher difficulty.

However, if you are looking to manage a small group of troops with special attention to each individual member, go for Warcraft III and the likes. It's a different kind of game play.


If you say SC II isn't Starcraft, you're either a moron or have never really played the original.
