Starcraft
Blizzard Entertainment

I thought we were Progressing?:

Now Total took a step forward into the 3D realm and moved RTS games into a new era, so why is Starcraft 2D. Well contrary to popular belief 2D is not yucky, or old Fashioned, in-fact 2D is neater than 3D and it certainly runs faster, at least for now. The graphics in Starcraft are probably the most well drawn in a game of it’s type although some say a little too dark. The units are detailed with lots of frames of animation and thankfully the troops are not too small. The detail can be seen everywhere, all the effort that has gone into the graphics is fairly obvious and it pays off, the game is very pretty. The sides all look different enough, each having their own material which they seem to build all their stuff from. The explosions could have been better but they are effective enough. All in all though the game really reminds you of Diablo just with more detail and a wider view so if you know Diablo and Blizzard then you know what to expect.
