Game Of The Year - 2011.
Before I begin, I just wanted to comment on the reviews that were given 9 under for this game. That's complete nonsense. This game, by far, is the best total war game to date, not only that, the best game I've played so far in ages.
I'm usually a console gamer more than a PC gamer however, I do love PC games and the Total War series and obviously picked this up.
This game has it all, creative multiplayer, great campaigns (short, long and domination types) and tons of clans to choose from.
The graphics and gameplay are absolute brilliant and you can see how much effort is put into it when you see the battles up-close with choregraphed fight battles amongst units.
The music is brilliant and makes you feel like you are in Japan, in the battlefield and the main turn-based map.
I had enough of writing this review -seriously, don't waste your time. Your 50 dollars is differently worth this and should go to it.
