The original Starcraft campaign briefings were often worth listening to more than once, thanks to the engrossing story and the superb voice acting. Insurrection's attempt to weave an interesting story is a little too heavy-handed mission briefings drag on far longer than they should as the various characters try and fail to draw you into the plot as they argue amongst themselves. Worse still, the new speech in Insurrection is too quiet, demanding you crank the volume to hear what the new characters are bantering about, then turn it back down when they finally shut up. To add insult to injury, the voices for returning characters like the Zerg Overmind and the Terran cyborg assistant are impersonated.
Furthermore, these characters' voices are only mediocre attempts to keep with the quality of voice acting from the original game. However, each of these uses recycled graphics and speech acknowledgements from the original game, demanding some serious suspension of disbelief on your behalf.
Each campaign attempts to introduce new heroes into the Starcraft mythos you get everything from the too-cool-for-you Terran lieutenant Jack Frost to the powerful Protoss Archon Aedus/Xerxes. These are designed to be played in the order of the original three, although you can play any mission in any order. Each species, Terran, Protoss, and Zerg, gets its own campaign.
The Insurrection campaign takes place simultaneously with the original Terran campaign and describes a three-way fight for power on the backwater planet Brontes IV. While it boasts three all-new single-player campaigns across 30 missions along with over a hundred multiplayer maps, none of these is particularly well crafted, and many are altogether poor. Although authorized by Blizzard, Insurrection is nowhere near the original product in terms of quality. Starcraft: Insurrection is a hasty and unprofessional single- and multiplayer supplement for the popular real-time strategy game, designed to prey on those who cannot wait for the forthcoming official add-on, Brood War.
