Is Starcraft II still worth buying?
LeetZero:
Bones, I'd suggest you give Supreme Commander (1 for harder, /huge/-scale battles and 2 for novice, get 2 then 1 if you like it) a try. That game is better in Starcraft II in lots of aspects in my opinion.
In other regards, Starcraft II has a demo. You should give it a try.

I was asking this same question to myself 3 days ago. decided to buy it and the expansion pack. no regrets.
it's worth it for the campaign alone. and if you want to play multiplayer you will get your money's worth, easily.
there's a starter edition (free), which normally only has one out of three factions playable, but for the promo right now you can play all three. download the starter edition, try some campaign, try a custom match or two and see what you think.
also something no one has mentioned: arcade mode ... you can spend so many hours here, playing so many different game types.
ice baneling escape (you are an alien thing, you navigate obstacles with a team)
superstar strikers (soccer but with abilities and stuff)
warships (you fly giant ships around in a space map and fight)
and many, many, many more.
SCII is a lot more than just the ranked play that you see in streams.

If there was an RTS I would recommend to get into the genre it would the Westwood made Command and Conquers. Afterall Westwood invented the genre. Wargame is good real time tactics game. Supcom and Total annihilation is for those who like long and epic battles.
