About the game:

This is a complex game, with equally complex storyline and each character has a story behind them, but we will try to keep it simple here. Jim Raynor, is a marshal turned rebel who is looking for revenge after being betrayed by the anti-Confederate Sons of Korhal, who assert themselves as the Dominion under the leadership of Arcturus Mengsk. Raynor's mission therefor is to bring down the Dominion. There are three different species: the Terrans, the insectoid Zerg and the Protoss, and basically they all hate each other… but sometimes the Terrans and Protoss team up, and others, the Terrans use the Zerg for their purposes. In synthesis Starcraft2 is about these three races and their leaders, fighting for dominance in a remote region of the galaxy, players get to choose the race the fight with and they have to harvest resources, build a base and an army, and then destroy their opponents.

Wings of Liberty is Terran focused, it contains several missions in a mercenary-style campaign. In this story, the Dominion has become the most powerful force among the Terran factions, and Raynor is leading a resistance that has been a losing battle and seems to be giving up. The Heart of Swarm, is Zerg-focused, particularly in Sarah Kerrigan, (Raynor's love interest that in Starcraft I was kidnapped and turned into a Zerg) and her battle against Mengsk. In the Legacy of the Void, the game focuses on Artanis, a young executor who is the commander of the Golden Armada, attempting to reunite the Protoss tribes in order to stop Amon, a fallen Xel'Naga. Luckily, there is a Play for Free option that you can use to get familiar with the game and all its characters.
