Are you in? If so, how is it? Much like the first one, but where better graphics?

Yeah, we are in. I didn't play the first SC so I really have nothing to compare it to. I can tell you, that it is a really good looking game. The beta is running DX9, but max'd out it still looks great. The Blizzard people keep saying that it's not the final product and the final version should look and play better.

They are very active in soliciting your comments as a beta user and have a really easy way to report bugs and such. I have been mostly playing against the AI, but I have friends who are StarCraft fanbois and they seem quite happy with the beta's playability.
