EXCEPT for the RIDICULOUS INFESTED TERRAN BOUNCY EGGS, they have the physics of a Mario game (love Mario BTW). Also, too much neon green for zerg, make it something more organic. | ||

exhibit 1 http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080605184156/starcraft/images/b/b7/SiegeTank_SC2_GameAnim2.gif Siege tanks looks like some kind of cheap made plastic toy made out of domestic toys factory compared to my siege tanks in broodwar which is oozing with tough guy and pack with a payload of death . I am not saying that sc2 graphics are actually killing the game I am just saying that blizzard should have done a better job in terms of their so called graphic enhancement to their latest product sc2. | ||

I feel like these characteristic noisy sounds are kind of missing in SC2, though there are ofc a lot of other cool attack sounds, Battlecruisers for example  They all fit really well, but from my point of view they don't need to fit 100% as long as they are cool. They are just not as characteristic. | ||

The death animations are definitely a step up from BW. (How is this game even rated T?) The voices were certainly more badass though. The Protoss announcer was like "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS" and doesn't afraid of anything. awww this made my day lol | ||

The only major problems I have with SC2 are the sound/voice design. Protoss voices are incredibly underwhelming, and zerg voices all sound the same (seriously, you can barely tell the difference between the voices for the hydra, corruptor, and brood lord). I'm not too fond of the lack of unique death sounds or the highly generic soundscape in general. Compare that to SC1 where if a science vessel or carrier died, you knew immediately because of the unique death sound. They tried too hard to make the sounds realistic instead of making them sound good, which is awfully uncharacteristic of Blizzard since before they've always been advocates of fun > realism. Guess it's no surprise that the sound is highly disliked because of that. | ||

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080605184156/starcraft/images/b/b7/SiegeTank_SC2_GameAnim2.gif Those colors are definitely over saturated and there's no decals on the wheels. Try looking at a tank in game on ultra settings, it looks pretty gritty and not very "toy like" at all. It definitely doesn't look any more like a toy than the sc:bw tank. | ||

About the gameplay itself I dunno. I do think that SC was less cartoony, but that can very easily have been the fact that I was like 12 when I played it. | ||

I play on everything high, and the game looks great to me. The proportions of the Terran buildings have always seemed a little bit "bubbly" to me, a little rounded and bloated, but that's as cartoony as it gets imo. I love all of the distinct death animations, especially acid. Burning makes me sad but that's probably because I main zerg and so usually only see that when hellions or colossus are roasting my zerglings. As far as sounds, they almost all sound good except for stalkers and hydralisks. Both just sound like little pinpricks compared to the actual damage being done. Marines and Marauders have a satisfying thud to their attacks, Mutalisks sound a little weak except in large numbers but it perfectly matches the unit anyway, and I giggle when Ultralisks get slicing. I'm fine with hydralisks' sounds, but stalkers' projectiles are really lame. Other then that though, nothing sound-wise bothers me. Graphics-wise, I think zerglings look too much like overgrown insects this time around. Why did they add wings? In BW they nice little beasties. Most everything else I really enjoy: I find myself staring at vikings, banshees, marauders, and thors all the time, and most toss/zerg units are pretty cool too EDIT: On absolute lowest settings, the game looks undeniably cartoony. I played the campaign on slightly higher-than-low settings (makes a big difference if you raise shaders and textures and one other setting), and it looked great to me, not at all cartoony... but when I'm doing multiplayer I don't want to risk the fps drops | ||
