Summary: PLAY THE DEMO FIRST (I wish I would have!)
Review: After playing Shogun Total War this is a big disappointment. With 2-D graphics and just plain boring battle sequences you would be better served buying Shogun Total War MI/WE and getting the patches and map packs and playing online. I will always play a demo first from now on since there were no reviews of this game in here. This lesson cost me $10 in shipping/return costs. The still great first edition of Shogun is half the cost of this game and in a completely different league by itself!!! Some like it better than the Warlord Edition.

Summary: Should have been better
Review: Listed as a strategic game, it only involves tactics. While some of the battles are fun, there are some serious flaws in the game - guns are too effective - able to mow down your mounted samurai with ease. Gunners will stand in and fight toe to toe with the mounted samurai. I wish this game had looked at Shogun to see how they handled some of the tactics of the battlefield. Wait until the game drops to 9.99. It might be worth a look then.

Summary: An interesting, detailed and acurate game
Review: This game is certainly worth the cost if you are at all interested in playing a historically accurate account of Feudal Japan. The art detail is really quite amazing and the game play keeps you on your toes!
