Star2Pros Guide Review

Review Summary: The Star2Pros Guide promises a lot but fails to deliver. The guide not only lacks updates, but any real content that would be worth viewing.

I was really eager to try the Star2Pros guide as the site seemed full of promises although when I entered the members area for the first time found myself let down. Don't get me wrong Star2Pros isn't a bad guide, it's just not everything you would be hoping for in a Starcraft 2 Guide. The Starcraft 2 Strategies they do have are actually alright, but lack any real depth and are far to few of them.

The Guide
Star2Pros guide is a web based guide where you have to login to their members area and view their strategies on their website.  When I first accessed the members area and started reading through the strategies I found myself just staring at walls of text with no screen shots or images which made the strategies hard to read and not very engaging, unlink the Shokz Guide which is full of details and content.

No Terran Strategies
The strategies they have at Star2Pros as I said above are not bad although there is not a lot of them. There are only about 5 - 8 strategies per race and Terran actually doesn't have ANY! I've been a member there going on 2 months and the entire time I've had a membership to Star2Pros their has always been a notice that said "Terran Guides down for updates and will be up again soon".

One thing I was upset about was the video guides, their site claims to have Starcraft 2 Video guides although they are just youtube videos that were made by other people or youtube videos of Starcraft 2 pro replays which can be accessed for free.

Lack of Updates
I've been a member of the Star2Pros site for going on 2 months since I've been a member there has not been one single update to the site. There have been lots of updates to the homepage offering more promises but none in the members area. If the Author would put more time into the actually guide rather then promoting it then it would be much better off.

The Price
My biggest issue with the Star2Pros guide is the price. It cost $27 plus an additional $27 each month after. That is a total of $324 a year for a guide! I've been reviewing video game guides for a long time and I have never seen a guide priced so high. They claim that all updates are free, although I'm not sure then why there is a monthly fee.

Final Thoughts
Star2Pros Guide is a guide that promises a lot but fail to delivers. Maybe in the future they may add some updates although till then it's hard to recommend this guide. The price is a real deal breaker, a $27 monthly fee is just a little to ridiculous to pay for a guide, but the decision is up to you.
