are not of primary importance to the development of the main story elements, and where my heart primarily was invested in for Brood War (though issues regarding personal attachments to or enjoyment of units and the like may be touched upon). I will not talk about multi-player in this review as mainly because many of the new multiplayer units, strategies, maps, etc. In order to be appropriately prepared for looking at Heart of the Swarm I also recently replayed through all of Star1 and Star2 a couple of weeks ago in order to refresh my memory of some of the story elements, character personalities and decisions they made, and other issues before I delve back into the Koprulu sector once more. Does it correct many of the problems of Wings and recapture that old maniacally chaotic, and manipulative backstabbing of Brood War, or does it continue with its recent development of multiple personalities and flail wildly in every direction (if a picture says a 1000 words, what does this one say? + Show Spoiler + I suppose that with my current feelings and apprehension then, that Heart of the Swarm would in my mind be either a necessary measure of redemption for Blizzard.or strike three in the story department. It is no wonder then that both of the aforementioned titles disappointed me so much as those respective stories, the execution notwithstanding, are giant vacuous caricatures of once interesting ideas (I'll explain this a little more in detail later). As an artist and someone with considerable experience with the performing arts as an actor and singer I am always thinking very critically about such expositions of story, character motivations, or narrative choices, or at the very least have a high standard as to what is acceptable in terms of these ideas. While I don't really go out of my way to talk about it here, I have never really made it a secret that I strongly dislike both D3 and SC2:WoL in terms of their stories. Why? Well, like a good number of people I have been rather disappointed by Blizzard as of late with their recent releases of Wings of Liberty and Diablo III (late having the meaning of the last 4-5 years as I've known Blizzard as a gamer since 1994). I've been teetering over period of a few months in looking at pros/cons, personal opinions, and I only finally caved and made the decision to purchase this first SC2 'expansion' a couple of weeks ago, though I was going to be entering with a rather large dose of skepticism. So.I have been for some time now, on the fence as to whether or not I would actually get Heart of the Swarm or not.
