StarCraft 2 digital download a flop

Since last Tuesday, I’ve been trying to download the StarCraft 2 game client via digital download.  Instead, all I got were error messages and vague problem detected messages.  Every time I would get one of these messages, the client would be discontinued and I would be required to restart the 12GB download.  As a result, I had to schlep to the local GameStop and pick up a copy. And this was not even on at the Midnight Release party last night.  Right now, the game is downloading on my computer so I can’t really give any initial impressions yet. But I can say that the installer is giving a rather comprehensive synopsis of the StarCraft story from the previous games.

As soon as I play through some campaign missions, I’ll give some initial impressions about my thoughts on the story, the new characters, and Jim Raynor’s new, edgier than a knife collection look.
