Pros:
Remains extremely similar to the original Starcraft, while still making many improvements to gameplay elements
Enjoyable, lengthy campaign with cool characters (like Jim Raynor)
Story campaign has well designed 'hub' elements where you can upgrade units, etc.
Lots of interesting new units
Great graphics, sound & music (you can choose to play using the original or the new soundtrack, both are fantastic)
Difficult gameplay that requires thinking and fast reaction speed
3 cool races to play in custom matches
Great online gameplay
Cons:
Can be difficult for players new to the genre, or even just new to Starcraft (multiplayer is pretty brutal / steep learning curve)
Story is Terran only - you must buy the other two campaigns separately to play those races in their respective story / campaign modes
The skirmish, calling "training" here, is absurdly hard for casual play. It also presumably won't work if you don't have internet connection.
The campaign is good enough, but really, although you have different options adding to the replay value, it's not something I'd imagine playing that much.
Update: The characters are fairly endearing and so are the requests for help from various units but I can't get past the focus on online multiplayer.
The game itself is good, but the support from Blizzard appears to be well criticised on the web and I soon realised getting throught the initial game problems we would be on our own. Better support here by Blizzard could go a long way to winning customers...
Fun at first this is meant to differentiate the men from the boys in allowing it not simply to be a resource game i.e. whoever has the most units wins. I say men from boys because it is the boys who win hands down at this. I say fun at first because the men with day jobs die as is appropriate as they have jobs to go to in the morning. Unless of course playing computer games is your job which is not as uncommon as you might thing for SC2 with a big Korean/US and European gaming community.
Honestly this is a really great game that rewards your skill and ability if you are prepared to put everything on hold but is still great for novices who just want to enjoy the great game play or the nostalgia like me. And the careful balancing means you will be playing people of your own ability - or you can play the single player campaign which is not an after thought but genuinely entertaining.
Definitely try it you like this sort of thing. This and SC1 are probably one of the "great" games in the pantheon of game history - it was genuinely something new when it first came out.
