Zergling rush!! Always reminds me of the movie Starship Troopers XD
When the site was opened a few months back, only Protoss units are available. This time, more Protoss units are announced, and the some of the Terran units are introduced as well. In my opinion, Blizzard is designing the different races to be much more distinctive than each other in StarCraft 2. The Protoss has become much more mystical and majestic; take their new units Colossus and Phase Prism for example, they are like giant crystals wrapped with steel outside, and they move in such organic way, they don't seem mechanical at all, as opposed to how I feel about the Protoss units back in the original StarCraft.
The Dark Templars are still mysteriously deadly. Notice that they are carrying a new type of weapon. And, the mineral mines are in gold in this picture!
The mighty Colossus and the Stalker against a bunch of Terran Vikings. Looks more like a massacre instead.
Protoss Mothership is going to turn the game upside down!! o_O
The Terran on the other hand, are designed with more emphasis on their technologies. Last time, the only transformable unit for Terran is just the Siege Tank. This time however, there are more transformable units installed, and some of their buildings have transformation gimmicks as well! As a result, they are more robotic than ever. Without the little portraits on the bottom of the screen (not to mention the blood splatted when killed), the Marines sure look like little robots running around.
The fast Terran aircraft we see in the cinematic trailer is the AH/G-24 Banshee, a new anti-ground aircraft that uses turbofans instead of rocket thrusters.
The powerful Terran Thor is probably the equivalence of the Protoss Colossus.
So far, we only manage to take a few glimpses at the Zerg from the cinematic trailer and a few of the game play screen shots. Units like the Zergling, Mutalisk, and Hydralisk pretty much retained their form and appearance. But I suppose Blizzard will make them more organic, slimy XD to emphasize their fluid nature. While Terran and Protoss are equipped with more tricks and firepower now, how these 'traditional Zergs' are going to repel the new threats is going to be very exciting to see.
Blizzard Entertainment also has a great team of script writers. I really enjoyed the story of the first StarCraft, as well as Brood War, its expansion set. I have no doubt that the writers will deliver a great story again. I believe the story will build upon the world left by the scourge of Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. How did the Terran rise again? How did the Protoss amass their warriors once more, and how did the universe succumbed to huge scale battle again? Ultimately, who's going to win this time? that's up to Blizzard to tell when the game is out :)

You probably watched the cinematic trailer the moment it came out on the website :) But what about the Korean version? Complete with thunderous roars and cheers from fans who can't wait for it to come out just like you and me?
