This a six game package, in which i have two of the six games. The first game of Tatal War made was Shogun, i loaded but only could play part of the this game because of i cept crashing to desk top on my main comp. I think the problem is because of vedio card issues. But plays well on my Lab Top. Still have to play the the other games to let you know how it all works out. But so far i like it, a bit spoiled with the later game graphics like on Medieval II.

I dont't know. Command and Conquer offers more action... For this one, I need more training

A timeless game for endless fun

These three games with there respective expansion packs are by some of the best games I have played for the PC. When I got Shogun Total War so many years ago, I could not stop playing it. I played it for 5 days straight with little to no sleep. I finally was able to conquer half of Japan before I fell asleep exausted with my conquest. Two weeks later, I finally was able to say Japan was in my total domination. I anxiously waited for a sequel, and to my delight it was Medieval Total War. I recognized a lot of the places since I grew up in Europe and saw many of the battlefields and countries that I laid waste too. Rome Total War was definitely a supreme improvement in AI and graphics. I assure you that these games are worth the cost, just be prepared to be immensed in a world and time forgotten, to be fought in the present.

Entering the mysterious world of 16th century Japan, the fearsome times of 11th century Europe, or experiencing the majesty of ancient Rome, is exciting, suspenseful, as well as educational. This game package affords the gamer with awsome color and variety. The campagne's set the stage of strategic cultural as well as military decisions and the battle engines are realistic and tatically demanding. This package should get 5 stars but for a mirade of technical problems in running the programs. Constant problems deminish the enjoyment of playing these games.

Now i know there're many total war fans who have warm memories linked to the series and bought each one from the day of release and not only for the graphics. I got this one for 30 bucks and i thought its an amazing price for the amount of games i get, but as a installed the games i was quite disappointed. Shogun-Mongol Invasion have no real multiplayer only LAN and because it was the first in the series the graphics are so monotone, colorless, out date that i doubt anyone even singleplays it, the Medieval-Viking Invasion is better in terms of graphics and it has Gamespy Arcade but its no competator to Medieval 2, Rome Total War is the one that knocked my sockes off, i mean the graphics are colorfull, rich, more live, stunning unit details. My advice is unless you played this games and for some reason lost or damaged old cd's and want a full collection get this one. But if you are casual gamer with no memories for this game get Rome:TW Gold and Medieval 2:TW which are most played.

Everyone of the Total War series has been a great game, always bringing something new to the table with each new installment. I can't wait for the next installment, the add-on to the already great Medieval II game. I hope that the people of Total War will keep up the good work, and maybe their next game will be during the Renaissance.

Great buy

Excellent product. Easy to install. Only downside is that you cannot downgrade Rome Total War (it's the only one I've installed). Rome is automatically updated to 1.5

very good collection

I won't go in the description of the games themselves - no need.

This is what you get in this package:
- 4 DVDs, containing 3 original games and their 4 corresponding expansions:
- Shogun;
- Shogun Mongol Invasion;
- Medieval;
- Medieval Viking Invasion;
- Rome;
- Rome Barbarian Invasion;
- Rome Alexander;

- Soundtrack CD, containing 43 tracks and over 76 minutes of music samples from the three original games;
- Documentary DVD 39 minute interview with the original creator of the series, explaining how they came up with the idea of the game and how game progressed over the years and incarnations;
- 50 page booklet with artwork from all 4 games in the series
- Medieval 2 Poster of the King Richard, the Lion Heart;
- 5 postcards with artwork from the games;
- one combined book with over 275 pages of game manuals

Watch the Documentary to learn such cool facts like, for example:
- how Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' helped create Shogun tactical AI;
- how 'Gladiator' the movie influenced the decision to cover Roman period in the third game;
- how many future installments we should be expecting in this series before it runs out of gas

Enjoy!
