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.

Must buy if your a strategic

If you dont have this game and you like games like romance of the three kingdoms, you are missing out. Its not easy, but its really fun. I did end up beating it five times, but all on normal difficulty (easiest, easy, normal, hard, hardest), it was still hard, and i'am good at these games. Its the best one player strategy game. MUST BUY

Very enjoyable

I have so far enjoyed this game. It has everything I like and nothing that I don't like. The graphics are good. The game is easy to learn but hard to master. The AI makes smart decisions when trying to attack and defend.

Unfortunately the game is a little buggy. In one instance I took over all of Japan but one province and everytime I got to the end of the battle for that province the game would close and go to the desktop. Very annoying....

Definately worth buying anyway....

This may be the best RTS game ever. The graphics are amazing and the backrounds are a visual feast. Your posted in the 1500's in Japan. Control has just been lost by the shogun of Japan and there are 7 clans trying to claim it. You can choose one of 7 clans to try to take over Japan, each with it's own advantages( can build archers for cheaper castles.....) There is a map where you manage economy and deside what to take over who to make and alliance with and so on. Then their is the battle field where you do battle with the troops you made. I suggest you get a mixed line of troops or you have no chance. Then there is the whole honor thing. When you win battles genrals gain honor and lose honor when they lose. If a genral loses about 5 battles strait he has someone chop his head off. You can also Assassin people with Ninjas ( At first it's highly entertaing to whatch the assassinations). The point of the game is to take over Japan.

This could be the best game ever. Buy it.

True Test of Leadership

This game captures the art of warfare better than anyother ever made. It's combination of economics and conquest along with realtime strategic play make it a truly must have game. The part that I found the most fantastic and im sure many others do are the battles. Terrain is amazing from cliffs to steep hills, bridges and gulleys. This game has truly made me appreciate the neccisity of high ground. The weather is also stunning. From clear skies to a misty morning to perhaps 10 foot visablitity. The formations look perfect. It can actully look beautiful to see the perfect formations of the enemy in the distance as they close in on you. Morale is also key in winning these bloody and brutal fights. The elements of terrain, weather, moral, the seasons, and your leadership all come together in these epic battles. These are also Sun Tzu's 5 principles of war. Master them and you will achieve victory and perhaps Shogun.

Great game! Bad manual.

Everything is great about the game, but the only way to learnhow to fight with the armies is to fight with the armies. The manual is limited in info, does not explain HOW to use the commands in any detail and in some cases is just plain wrong. On the other hand, the game is very flexible, allowing you to pick and select what kind of game you want; from picking your clan to deciding if troops will have unlimited ammo. Warning: real time battles MEANS real time battles. While you sit and think, the foe's troops are moving into position and getting ready. END

Simply addictive strategy wargame

I had this game preordered for a long time. It was even better then the demo. The AI is amazing, Online is smooth, but requires a fast connection. Is it original? No, but is has been done to perfection. Bugfree (sofar)and stable. Strong replay value. Highly strategic, very realisticly showing you the choas of warfare. An instant classic.

When I first bought this game I had my doubts but after playing I thank the gods on mighty Olympus for making me buy it. It is the most involving, fun, interesting game I have played in ages. After two days of playing Shogun Total War I wanted to become Japenese (but I did not). I am now of to buy "The Art Of War" by "Sun Tzu"(There are many quotes from him in the game about war and I will now learn his teachings and put it into practice on the battlefield). Also after playing the game you have always got a story to tell about your heroic battle and how about you survived four years in enemy lands and against all odds survived. This is a classic game just pick up any PC magazine and it will tell you so get off your chair and go out to buy Shogun Total War you will not be dissapointed.
