The thing I think you guys aren't doing is grading the game on how you liked it the first time you played it. All of you are looking at are how the games are affecting you right now and how you like it right now, but Warcraft was definitely funner to play when it first came out.
Not only is that not necessarily true, but even if that was the case, it's not necessarily wrong to do.
I find initial appeal to the games were both probably about the same... both very good.
The issue with Warcraft that Starcraft does better, is the better level of replay value, competitiveness, and strategy that starcraft has, and warcraft doesn't have as much of.
Starcraft had a better plot, more movies, better movies, and more in-game speech/events going on. This made it so it perhaps even had greater initial appeal that WC2. It also had a better-featured map editor, an extra race, more units, and better graphics. Starcraft had somewhat of an advantage as it could be compared to warcraft 2, and while even though it had better graphics because it was a newer game, it still had better graphics.
Warcraft 2 did follow warcraft 1... but not as many people serious played that, and those who did probably didn't think of it to be too good in the first place, even comparable to warcraft 2.
Wasn't there a topic jut like this made? except it was Starcraft versus warcraft, instead of warcraft 2 in specific. Anyways,
Warcraft 2 was great (I didn't like Warcraft 1 really though). I love the music and the sounds and the atmosphere. It was an excellent game.
Starcraft wins though, because it is far more advanced in strategy and tactics. It's mechanics and graphics are also more of an improvement with variable unit sizes (graphically), larger unit groups, etc.
I don't like starcraft's music as much though. Not only is the only real music the terran one, but it's not even that awesome. Warcraft has like over 12 tracks.
