"Brilliant."
A tribute to the work that Blizzard have put into the StarCraft 2 franchise. The depth of the story line. The dynamic development of online gameplay (Albeit with some tweaks that need to be done along the way) definitely a must buy for all RTS… No gaming lovers out there!
"Fantastic."
I've been looking forward to HotS for a while now and have to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed playing through the campaign, though the missions are easily zerged (you may groan now), I had a damn good time with it.
The multiplayer has changed the game a little, which leaves some of the best pro's in the game worried about their standing, but for the average player, the new setup works well.
Truly a worthy continuation to the starcraft franchise (even though it “technically” is an expansion pack and not a stand alone game), now we get to look forward to the wrap up in Legacy of the Void…in two years probably…Oh well…time to get back to the zerglings, they won't take themselves for a rush!
"Always a great story"
Once again Blizzard have delivered a great story line to play through with a good number of challenges. Though for me it was not quite as engaging as Wings of Liberty But definitely worth owning if you enjoy anything starcraft. Personally not that into pvp but I'm sure that has all one could want and more. Can't wait for the 3rd installment!
"Best game I have played in a long time"
I enjoyed this more than Wings of Liberty, although it felt a lot shorter, but story wise Blizzard have done it again.

The Queen of Blades is gone. On the hellish planet Char, Jim Raynor harnessed the power of an ancient Xel’Naga artifact in a desperate bid to stop the zerg Swarm from overrunning the Koprulu sector, and the artifact restored Sarah Kerrigan to her human form. Without their queen to guide and unify them, the Swarm has fractured into several broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector. One of the greatest threats to the galaxy has been neutralized… or so it seems.

If you're a Starcraft fan you'll love this. The story is engaging, and sets up really well for the finale. Also, as always, the cinematics make you wish Blizzard would make a movie.
