Adding to what EGreg said, I preferred the simplicity of WC2 and played for years after SC and other games arrived. The gameplay has a certain precision, with units being on a grid, and the limited number of units in play. The game is definitely "flat", although you can go back to WC1 and see how things could be worse. :) If you're speaking about graphics, I also like 2D games for some reason. And of course there is appeal in the game environment/story too and not just gameplay. I tend to prefer fantasy over sci-fi, so that gives WC2 some extra appeal vs SC. WC2 is unique in that it is both fantasy and 2D, unlike SC and WC3.
