The game's handful of compositions fit their respective races perfectly, and I feel that they heavily contributed to the game's memorable atmosphere. Finally, the Protoss were a believably advanced alien race with telepathic powers and architecture/weapons that glistened and glimmered as a testament to their technological accomplishments.Īnd after all of these years playing Brood War it occurred to me that I've probably heard its individual tracks more times than maybe any other in gaming history. The Zerg were convincingly menacing and alien, again sharing some similarities with the bugs from Starship Troopers while also having plenty of traits distinct to Blizzard's original creation.
It was like a cross between Starship Troopers and Killzone's Helghast. SC1's Terran structures and armaments felt heavy and metallic, where everything was technologically advanced yet bulky and cumbersome. Stream songs including 'Wings of Liberty', 'Public Enemy' and more. Starcraft 1 had that late-90's Paul Verhoeven brand of intergalactic sci-fi that I think resonates with a lot of people who lived through that era. Listen to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (Soundtrack) by Various Artists on Apple Music. Brood War is one of my all-time favorite games, and I've played it on-and-off for the last 15 years.īeing in a Brood War mood currently, I found myself listening to the original soundtrack on YouTube and taking note of how good it was and still is.Ī common criticism (among many others) of Starcraft 2 is that it failed to cultivate the same gritty sci-fi atmosphere that the original was known for.
#STARCRAFT 2 SOUNDTRACKS UPDATE#
The Starcraft: Remastered announcement along with an incoming update for classic Brood War that will make the core game free-to-play has gotten me hyped beyond belief.
