Hey, Andy Malone here.

And you’re reading my uncensored review of what I really thought about Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide.

Note that this is a review. If you’re looking for the official Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide website, then click here: Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide

Why am I writing this? Well, when I was thinking of buying Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide, there wasn’t many real reviews around.

So, I thought I’d do a quick write-up to help any of you who are in the same position I was.

But be warned, I’ll be going into the good and the bad points of Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide, so if that’s not something you want to read, you might may as well leave now.

What Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide has helped me achieve:

One of the best things about this StarCraft 2 guide and separates it from the rest is how it doesn’t offer generalized information. It offers a variety effective strategies depending on your race of choice and who you’re playing against including strengths and weaknesses for each along with build orders.

The top 5 things that I learned from Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

1 A complete hot key guide for whichever race you choose.

2 Build orders for each race to get you up and running as fast as possible. Combined with the hot key guide, first time gamers can improve their level exponentially by employing these two sections.

3 A section on StarCraft 2 terms/lingo so that you can hold your own with the best of them when you’re in game.

4 A scouting guide so that you can most effectively and safely check up on your opposition’s progress in a game.

5 A guide on the XEL Naga cliff trick so that you can use the watch towers without being attacked.

What I find most useful about Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

This is a welcome breath of fresh air compared to the guides which lump everything all into one strategy. If you try one across-the-board method, it’s likely going to work in less than 50% of the games which you play in.

In addition to the guides in the member’s section, there are dozens of videos taken from real matches which showcase effective and winning strategies firsthand which I found to be a major help, as reading something is one thing but seeing it in action and having it being explained there is so much better.

Who would benefit from purchasing Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

Shokz’s is one of the first StarCraft 2 tip guides available to give players of this sequel to the best selling original all of the tips and edge that they need to smoke out their competition, regardless of their race choice and game play strategy. It was written by a diamond level (Battle.net) beta testers of the game who knows all of the ins and outs and wrote the guide so that first time players can expontentially improve on their level while focusing more on a wealth of strategies for more experience players.

What I think was left out of Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide:

Nothing that I can tell unless you’re a purist who likes to endure the pain of learning by trail and error.

How quickly Shokz’s Starcraft 2 Guide can help someone:

Almost instantly and it should be noted that with the guide you get constant updates for life so given that the game is still in its infancy we can expect multiple additions in the coming weeks and months.
