Pussies. Is "Broodwars" harder than the "Frozen Throne" add-on?

Blizzard talks art design over at Gamespot.

Didier explains that within the core philosophies of Blizzard art design, "nothing is subtle--every character is over the top; every environment is either beautiful or battle scarred." According to the art director, Blizzard's characters come to life by means of strong silhouettes, exaggerated proportions, distinctive animations, and "bold, saturated colors" so that they not only look memorable, but are easy to distinguish at a glance as well.
Quite some people seem to be complaining about exactly this. I dunno, it isn't really as comic in style as "Warcraft 3" at all, it's just.. whoa COLOURS! Maybe that's the thing, I always thought Starcraft looked kinda drab compared to the fine visual stimuli of later Blizzard games. Slap me now if you wanna.
