I have only started playing it but my initial response was much like what you wrote. It feels like the same game with spiffier graphics and awesome cut scene moves. Someone I know who has almost finished the campaign says the new upgrades and units later all mix things up a bit. He's done some online co-op and says the AI is nasty. He also commented that the original StarCraft has such a following that they couldn't really change the gameplay too much or millions of Koreans would declare war on Blizzard. :p I'll have to play more of SC2 before I comment further. - Sheldon
