StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops - Mission Pack 1

Overall, the first episode takes an hour or so to complete, which of course will depend on how good or which difficulty the player decides to choose. Essentially, the first episode contains three below average StarCraft II single-player missions, which will probably be enough for most potential consumers to decide whether or not they want to drop $15 for Covert Ops. It's not amazing, but it's not terrible either. We'll see if the story picks up in the next two episodes, but strictly judging this episode, I would wait.

StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops doesn't deliver much that you haven't seen before, but it does it in an engaging way that sufficiently supplements the universe. If you aren't big on the massive time investment that a typical StarCraft campaign warrants, this is a nice little alternative.

A good start to Starcraft II’s DLC, Nova Covert Ops delivers a fun and tense opening chapter, but suffers from a lack of story content.
