One thing that has appealed to me the most about SC2 (aside from the stunning graphics and sensational storyline) is the fact that you do not have to have any prior experience with RTS games and if you missed the chance to play the original - SC2 will catch you up on the full story of this amazing game whilst it is installing.
I have never played many (if any) RTS games however I just HAD to play SC2 and luckily enough there is a Casual "I have never played RTS games before" level rank that introduces you to the style of game play that is RTS - and of course many other difficulty levels to choose from.
If you haven't played SC1/2 before and are thinking about it...stop thinking and buy it! It truly is a sensational game and -everyone- should at the very least try it.
Not to mention it is a great price - $79 for the worlds most anticipated game of the decade...how can you possibly say no?!

I'm suprised at how good it is. I haven't PC gamed in years and took the plunge based on nostalgia, thankfully it was a plunge worth taking.

All the wait was worth it. Not just the Best RTS this year but one of the best in MANY years. With awesome story, brilliant graphics, an interface that works the way you want and the knowledge there is still 2 more episodes to go means this franchise has shown it isn't going anywhere.

It's the best game at the best price.
