Makes several great improvements, unfortunately marred by its bland content. Understandable, but still sad.
When looking at Shogun 2, it's impossible not to consider the Total War series as a whole, because this game closes a circle of just over a decade of Total War games, being a remake of the earliest game in the series. ... Read Full Review

Cracks in the Bushido Code
I was excited to play this game but the only battles I fought were numerous frustrating, failed attempts to get the game to load through the Steam client server. Once committed to install this game, you will have no choi... Read Full Review

Not as fun as Rome or Medieval 2, but better than Empire.

I have played these games since for many years now, seeing it come from the blurry little figures of the first shogun to the cgi movies displayed in just the intro of shogun 2 with everything in between. To start wit... Read Full Review

Been waiting for this game, and so worth the money and the wait.
I've played every single total war game that came out, and this one did not disappoint. I've watched it grown from the simplistic first Shogun all the way to the gun powders and smoke of Napoleon. I don't understand ... Read Full Review
