Eh, it's still a little blocky but at least it doesn't seem like they were trying to make it cartoony, like they did with WC3. I do miss the good old sprites, though.

I think it's the colors, and the reflection... the ships look like toys

Seriously. WAY too blocky. Zerg looks pretty awesome though. 🙂
 
The space platform-type map setting matches the terran units too closely. I can hardly tell whats a unit and what is a part of map-eye-candy.
 
LOL, the haters come out so quickly.

I have not yet been disappointed by any product I bought from Blizzard.
 
Wow. They really fcked up the Siege Tanks. They looked so bada$$, and now they look like, well, a blocky Z-Bot (if anyone remembers these)

I like it, I will definately buy it. I would have to actually sit down and play the game to see how the units handle. But from the graphics, they look clunky.

Looks like from the strategy side its going to be many small units will counter the non-splash, sustained damage units like the protoss warp ray. The Warp Ray had relatively low HP I thought, especially for a protoss unit. Seems like they added alot more splash damage units though, like the zergling suicide tech. Playing will be tricky.

It's good that protoss has something to counter siege tanks. Protoss was always at a disadvantage to terran push.
 
I think the expectations people will have for this game are going to be impossible to fulfill; however, I see this as being a huge event selling millions of copies in the first weekend kinda like a movie premiere.
