I couldn't wait for this game to come out and by the time it finally arrived, my expectations were so high I anticipated that the real game would let me down. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The strategic elements are thrilling by themselves, but the FMV scenes and incredible battlefield elements make this game the best in its genre.

Nice Looks and Sound

Well, I got this game around the furst week it was out. I was really into it for about the first 10 minutes when I was reading the manual. The gameplay is horrible, yes the sound and graphics were about the only thing that made me get it. And I wish that I didnt now. I will buy the new version thats coming out hoping it will be better. Also for everyone thats saying this game doesnt work unless u have a poewerful computer, do you people know how to work computers? I have a Gateway 600 mhz P3 computer with a NVIDIA RIVA TNT 2 and IT WORKS FINE!!

a good game with a few drawbacks

this game is fun i have to admit but it isn't the greatest stratigy game i think they could have done better on the off the battle feild part it got a little repetitive. But there is a good side to it the GRAPHICS!! amazing 3D world land scapes and fight scenes are amazing with 1000 of men fighting to the death. and the different types of people is great that is why i gave it this score.

The best stategy game ever

Shogun is a great game. Its mix of turn-based strategy and real-time strategy is unparalleled. Do you like Civilization? Do you like C&C? So you'll adore Shogun. The two faces of Shogun: Total War although different are integrated very well with each other. First you manage your lands, construct buildings and train units on the strategy map and then, when your armies clash with the enemies', you can choose to go to a full 3D environment to fight the battle yourself in fantastic real-time. Superb, but that's not all. There are two other small (?!) things that make this game better than others. First comes the unprecedented massive scale of the battles. Thousands of man fighting and dying for their lord and for their honour. The second is the impressive A.I. Shogun: Total War boasts - one of the most challenging games ever. A true classic.

Lets start out with me, a freckled american that likes rock in roll. But I am one of those guys that wishes he was japanese because of being so into Feudal Japan. The idea of samurais, ronin and the actual concept of keeping your family's honor has always infactuated me and will always till the day I die. Once I heard that EA was releasing a game that would feed my unhealthy habits of wishing I was Asian I almost pooped my pants. This game delivers not only Feudal Japan as the base of the story but is based on a very fun board game entitled Shogun (which is now called Samurai Swords)which is like Risk or Axis and Allies. In this game you have the choice from I believe 7 or 8 clans which each have their own advantages and disadvantages so you much choose wisely. In this game you try to keep the population within your provinces happy while trying to earn the currency in the game (Koku)(Koku means:1 year supply of rice)(EX: 3 koku is 3 years worth of rice). This game will keep you at the monitor for hours on end of the battles are beautiful. Buy this game.

The game looks very realistic. Although we can not have or choose a one strong general to lead the samurai, It is a good games. It has the real time strategy and the map strategy. Be sure you try the demos !

An absolutely awesome piece. The graphics and sound is just so fantastic! Able to coontrol hundreds of troops at a time. The only cons are that there is a lot of space taken up on the hardrive. Otherwise, AWESOME!!!!!!!

Best Game purchase ive ever made

For Any of you who have played the board game risk Shogun total war is like a way better and improved version of that game(except this game has Samurai soldiers instead of game pieces).
My parents had trouble for me too go to schoolwith this one but after i beat it with all the levels i got over it.

But i still cant get enough of it I recomend this one to a strategist who has a lot of free time.
