Customer Reviews:
The box didn't even come with a guide book--something both other games came with and there are no built-in instructions within the game.
A waste of my money.
Now imagine how much I enjoyed one of the BEST strategy games ever!!!
SHOGUN: TOTAL WAR is admittedly such a great game in every aspect it has become a RTS game benchmark. Not to mention it has fathered the TOTAL WAR series!
Alternating between a tactical map (in which units get moved and improvements built) and the battlefield map (in which real-time unit movements and battles are fought) SHOGUN:TW has struck the perfect harmony between Turn-Based and Real-Time Strategy gaming.
The graphics are by now only a bit dated - and, on the other hand, they can truly shine even on mid-range systems today. The units are easily distinguished during battle, controlling them is done via a user-friendly interface and the issued orders are followed fast and effectively (something not true for much latter games, such as SUPREME COMMANDER).
The sounds manage to be both majestic and realistic (even after so many years, I am using them as my main WinXP Sound-Theme). Both Japanese and English is available.
Birth of an heir, earthquakes and assassination attempts by ninjas all add to the unpredictability of the gameplay. The particulars of the terrain and the weather, the troops deployment and the placement (and survival) of the general, all make the real-time battles such a unique experience!
Alliances are made and broken; rebels conquered and their shock troops assimilated; Christian traders allowed or shunted. Every decision has consequences.
This is the Gold edition which includes the WARLORDS Expansion. Do not miss it!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Don't be fooled...nothing like the other Total War games!
I bought this, thinking it would be similar to Rome Total War and Medieval Total War. This couldn't be farther from the truth. A very boring game I wish I could return!

It's Awesome
This game was purchased for my 2 sons who are over the age of 13. According to them the game is "awesome". 2008-03-11
A MILESTONE IN GAMING HISTORY!!!
DISCLAIMER: I am a Japan-buff and games based on the Sengoku period of the Shogunate Wars have to be really bad for me not to enjoy them.
