The Queen of Blades no longer exists and Sarah Kerrigan has been restored to her human form. The Swarm is without a leader, scattered into several broods throughout the Koprulu sector. Yet all is not well. The artifact Jim Raynor used may have set Kerrigan free, but she still seems bent on assembling the Zerg broods, even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades. Is vengeance still on her mind? Or does Sarah Kerrigan have a new purpose? Will she be able to restore her strength and regain control of the Swarm? Or will Emperor Arcturus Mengsk finally be able to take out his weakened enemy?Help Kerrigan fight her way through an expansive single-player campaign in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Travel to some of the most dangerous worlds of the Koprulu sector, including Char, where a rogue queen is gathering eggs laid by the former Queen of Blades to hatch as her own, and Kaldir, a frozen planet that will require Kerrigan to adapt to the withering cold as she tries to find out what happened to her lost brood. Unlock new roles and acquire new abilities as you progress through the campaign. Mutate your zerg species in between missions to create a better, faster and stronger Swarm and explore new multiplayer maps with new units as you try to lead the Swarm to ultimate victory.

Deep game with lots of options

Some of the new features aren't really that fun to play with, but it's basically an extension of Fallout 3. I still like New Vegas more because of its world/characters/story, but this is a great game.

Confusing and difficult with poor compatibility
on January 6, 2016
Posted by: callahan09
Verified Purchase:Yes
To spend this much money on a headset with all these features, I expected it to be more intuitive and easy to connect to my devices and get the sound quality that I want.
For this much money, the sound quality is not as good as I expected. It's probably the best of the headsets I tried, but only SLIGHTLY better than headsets that cost less than 1/3 as much, while being more of a pain in the butt to actually use. The headset has a habit of dropping audio and having to be reset and/or disconnected from bluetooth and reconnected in order for it to start working again.
It has caused me nothing but headaches and frustration since I opened the package. It's confusing how you should set it up to get the most out of its surround sound capabilities. If your windows computer doesn't have an optical output and have Sound Blaster Live capability, then you can only use this via Bluetooth (so you better hope your PC has bluetooth!). Mine does have bluetooth, but doesn't seem to like this headset. I've had to mess with settings a lot and drop the pairing and re-pair numerous times because for some reason it just stops working after a while. I HAVE updated the firmware on the headset, but it doesn't fix all the issues I've had with it.
Music sounds good, except for vocals. Games sound great, except for dialogue. Movies & TV are almost unlistenable because this headset renders voices so poorly. Everything sounds great except voices. No matter what settings or pre-sets I change or used, the voices always sound hollow, tinny, and echo-y.
Surround replication is actually pretty decent, but I couldn't get my Windows 10 PC to recognize this as a surround device, only stereo, while connected via Bluetooth.
The wireless transmitter that's included only transmits sound that's connected to it via optical wire. I was hoping that you could connect the wireless transmitter via USB (it requires USB in order to power it, in fact... but it doesn't do data/audio transmission over the USB, just power), or plug HDMI into it, or even plug a regular 3.5mm stereo headset jack in there. But nope, only optical. I wanted to use this with ALL my devices, meaning basically everything plugged into my TV would be able to go to this. Well, it IS possible, because my TV has an optical output, but for some reason it only does Stereo output through the optical port. So I have to plug my PS4 or Xbox One directly into this via Optical if I want true surround sound on it.
To be honest, I don't even really notice much difference between stereo signal with the headset in one of the many Surround modes, and an actual Surround source in Surround mode. So I suppose it isn't that big of a deal.
But with the limitations on connectivity, bad rendering of voices, and headaches with connection loss (and did I mention the bad microphone quality yet?), it's a really underwhelming and frustrating headset that isn't even close to worth over 3x as much as some cheaper options I've tried instead.

It's been an intense round. Your team and the enemy have been swapping leads like presents on Christmas. It's down to the wire and it's time for you to show them what you've got. You head toward the center of the map where the action is condensed and people are dropping like flies. You manage to slip into the ruins of a house, head for the second floor and position yourself at the window. You start eliminating targets as they dart across the street. Your blood is flowing, your heart is pumping and adrenaline is surging through your veins. There's only seconds left and you can taste the victory — not to mention a supremely epic K/D ratio. Just as time's about to run out, you hear the sound of footsteps from behind you. You're already shooting as you whirl around and you manage to take him down and save yourself. The screen fades to black and the room fills with the glow of your headset as the cheers and whoops of your teammates fill your ears. Glory is yours.When the action is most intense, you need to be able to rely on your headset to give you the edge. Whether it's the sound of enemy footsteps, breaking glass, suppressed gun shots, tactical respawns or fall damage, it can be the difference between glory and defeat. This Afterglow Universal Prismatic Wireless Headset is tuned by a Hollywood sound-design studio, and features 50mm neodymium speakers that sit inside an angled acoustic cavity for intense audio depth, sonic richness and clarity of sound. To get you even deeper in the zone, the headset features glowing lights that you can set to almost any color. The durable design ensures that they can withstand frequent, long-lasting gaming sessions. So connect to your game console and get ready for explosive action. You've got the advantage of crystal-clear sound on your side.

This is cool looking and has really great sound

For such a low price, this is a really, REALLY good headset. It's got limited lighting features, without nothing like a pulsating or color changing lighting effect, all you can do is set the solid color to any number of color choices. It's better than nothing, so you can personalize it to some extent. But there are other headsets out there that do more with lighting features. But for a wireless headset, this seems really good for such a low price. It has a lot of connectivity options so you can use it on a great number of devices, but if you're trying to connect it to a console you might have some trouble unless you don't mind connecting it with a wire to your controller. Wirelessly, it's a little limited in how you can connect it to a device, requiring either a mini stereo connector jack OR the old red & white style composite audio connectors. So if your device doesn't have those kinds of outputs, you can't use this headset.
As for my PS4 and Xbox One, I use it with the wire attached to the controller, because wireless transmitter doesn't plug into the controller in a way that allows as much freedom of motion as just plugging the headset directly in (because the transmitter is too heavy to just let it dangle from the controller).
The stylish appearance, sound quality, battery life, ease of use, wireless range, and compatibility rivals the more than 3x more expensive Turtle Beach Elite 800's that I bought alongside with this headset. I highly recommend this.

Not as good as I'd hoped, but gets the job done

I prefer using this remote to using the Dual Shock 4 controller for watching blu-rays, but this remote has a lot of deficiencies that could have been a lot better. It doesn't always work right in every movie/tv app on the PS4. It's pretty good for blu-rays, though, so if you watch a lot of blu-rays on your PS4, I'd recommend this. It doesn't do a lot on my home theater or TV either, even after programming it and using the special programming buttons to duplicate functions of the official remotes. So it's pretty much just good for controlling blu-rays. Even at that it isn't as good as the PS3 remote was. For some reason this one seems to have kind of a lag or delay between pressing the buttons and seeing the result on screen. It's not too bad, though. It really depends on your needs. If you watch a TON of blu-rays like I do, then it's worth buying. Otherwise, it's not.

This is a classic movie, and if you're already a fan, this blu-ray is well worth the purchase. Good picture & sound for a movie of this age, and really cool steelbook packaging.
