About this title

Review

StarCraft Multiplayer: Unofficial Strategies & Secrets focuses specifically on StarCraft's multiplayer mode instead of trying to cover every aspect and feature of the game. Penned by Gamers Extreme, a group of well-known hard-core game players (such as Dennis "Thresh" Fong, who cowrote the Sybex guide to Quake II), the book begins with a great introduction to Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment's free online gaming service and the (primary) Internet home of StarCraft. The guide then moves on to the actual nitty-gritty of gameplay, highlighting basic tactics and in-depth, race-specific strategies that will help you win no matter what race you play as--or against. --Michael Ryan
