What our customer's say!

"Watch Out! The Purchase could be tricky", This is certainly on my must own list. I have been playing this game for many years and although the graphics are out dated the game still plays great. It has a turn based element in it much like Master of Magic with a real time battle complete with units and tactics. All the elements are here for a great gaming experience, wonderful historic back drop with the warrior mystique created by Ninja, Samurai, and the Geisha cultures molded into a superb gaming package. I rated it a 4 overall because the graphics are a little dated, but for a great time it's worth the investment. The real issue here is that this is the real "Warlords Edition". The Shogun Total War Gold and Shogun Total War editions both seem to have fatal errors on my equipment. In the Warlords Edition there is a different opening video and there is no Thrown room and I suspect that the errors are based on the programing around this "Thrown room". Make sure that you are buying the Electronic Arts version "Warlords Edition" without the Thrown room interface to get a smooth running program. I had to go back and purchase the Warlords Edition after first making the mistake of buying the gold edition. Although the game would have been better had the Thrown Room actually worked, having to constantly try and trick your computer into playing the game past the fatal errors is tedious and time consuming, taking away much from the playing experience. This version rocks!
My homebuild is as follows: 32 bit prescott core intel p-4 at 3.06ghz, 1 gig of 400mhz (2x512 dual Channel)memory, onboard sound 5.1 surround, Intel 865perl motherboard, Nvidia 6800extreme 256 meg agp, and Windows XP professional. This machine is a budget gamer but with over 50 game titles in my library, from Call of Duty 2 to Dos titles like Ultima 7 The Silver Seed,I have very few games that have problems running on this machine in some fashion. Make sure you get the right version.


"What's up with the reviews?", Why are these reviews for Medieval Total War, while the picture and description is for Shogun Total War? Am I the only one that notices this?



"reviews all wrong", Notice that all of these reviews are referring to the wrong game??? I'm looking for reviews on Shogun Total War and these reviews are about Medieval Total War. Hey, Amazon, get it together!

"SHOGUN IS THE BEST!!!", This game is simply the most realistic strategy game ever. It requires real strategy that includes makeing up for morale or using it to your advantage. The gameplay is awsome, fighting with samurai, ninjas, kensai and a whole lot of other stuff. The "risk style" strategy map is actually interesting and you may spend hours trying to get a ninja to a high honour to kill the enemy daimyo while battleing off his forces. One of the most awsome times in this game is when you are in a massive battle with many troops and multiple enemys! The sound and music are awsome and the music actually gets you in the mood of the game. The sounds of charging troops is also very awsome. The graphics are very good, especially the movie (NINJA ASSASINATION!!!) graphics. the many commands for your troops such as fast movements and good formation are also good. All in all this is one of the very best strategy games ever and ranks in the definate top ten, if not the top three (might even be #1).

"This is worth every penny", If you thought the original Shogun was as good as gaming got, welcome to the Warlord's version of medieval Japan. The expansions have truly done Shogun justice. If you were sick of starting out with the same Japan before, you now have four different time periods to choose from, as well as the Mongol scenario. New units are the battlefield ninja, the kensai warrior, the crossbow ashinguru (only in the Mongol scenario!)and the naginato cavalry. A big plus is that the buildings are cheaper to build and go up much quickly--no more 16-season citadels! The rebels are slightly more aggressive. Hojo isn't the Big Bad anymore. In many of the scenarios I've played, this clan gets bumped off early. The emassaries are much more useful now. They not only can propose more effective alliances, but can bribe other units! Ports now appear visible on the map so you know which clans have sea power or not. This is pivotal, because you can send a spy, shinobae, or ninja into someone's port and then invade next turn. As far as the tactical goes, I never had a problem with it before, since I'm not that good at the tactical part anyhow--so I have no complaints. If anything the graphics are more colorful and improved. As for the Mongol scenario, it was kind of disappointing for me. If you play the Mongols, it will be easy to win, even on hard level. If you play Hojo, prepare to get b***h slapped across the country. I would have liked to have seen the Mongols get integrated into the regular game and get made as part of a clan choice. Still, y
u can't have everything, can you?

Read this reviews before You buy...

"'Instruction booklet included'", Yes,'Warlord Edition' has a guide on how to move your Samurai,march and "run"(CTRL+R),"set facing/move with fixed facing"(ALT+Click),and "all units"(CTRL+A). If you bought the 'Shogun: Total War',you didn't get the instruction booklet. The instruction booklet is so important to understand how to operate the game,and in this 'Warlord Edition' the booklet is included. It will help you to understand how to operate your samurai in 'Shogun: Total War',and understand how to use your thrown room. Again for this 'Warlord Edition' you have to enter a 22-digit serial number,press 'Install',let boot-up (Install) to 100 %,and then press 'next' like 8 times. This 'Shogun' is like the first 'Shogun',only as lord Hojo you get 'crossbow men',and the Monguls have 'Thunder-Bombers',a really cool game! I also suggest that if you like this kind of war gaming,and your looking at 'Medieval:Total War',that you first buy the 'Official Strategy Guide' while it's still available,next year it probably will be 'out of print'. happy gaming!

"Great game and expansion!", I will keep this a short as I can. This game can be described in 3 words: Really really good. It has everything you can expect in an RTS game. It has a nice mix of real time and turn based action. While the graphics may not be the best, they are good for a game of this scale. The single player is great (especialy with the addition of the mongols.) But don't count out multi-player, infact it's even better than before (thanks again to the mongols.) This game is a must get for anyone who likes any of the following things in a game:

1. Turn based action
2. Real time action
3. Japan's history
4. MONGOLS

"900 men ready to frag another 900 men", Okay, i know that most of you that are going to buy this game know that you can control like 900 units at once. If you have played Age of Empires, then you know that only 40 units in that game can be selected at a time and the population limit is usually 200. Shogun's combat system is much more complex, thus making the learning curve steeper.

Shogun has 2 different main interfaces when you are playing the game. though i am quite new to this game, the "strategy map" section, which shows all of the provinces under your control and lets you build units and buildings in that province, is very simple to understand. it is regular turn-based strategy where every 4 turns, you get the report of your yearly harvest, which is your income. Now the unit system is not as complex as AOE (age of empires), but the battle system makes up for that. when you send an army, shown on your strategy map, into a province that is not ruled by you, the next turn the game will ask you if you want to commence the battle by yourself, let the computer decide, or just run away becuase you do not want to fight. usually, you want to do the battle by yourself so then you are taken into the "battle mode". battle mode is not turn based. instead it is Real Time, just like AOE. the "tutorial" gives you a first hand look in battle mode, but tutorial has a problem where they tell you to click on a flag, you click on the flag, and the program calls you a fool for not following directions. so thus, tutorial is basically useless. anyways, the battles in Shogun are HUGE. you may find youself running away, just to come back with a bigger army. or you may find yourself fraggin the computer cause your army is 2x the size of his.

Shogun comes with some bugs, thus reducing my rating of it to 4 stars. the first is the one that i mentioned about the tutorial. the next is about the Geisha house. i can never find the option to build it, even though i have all of the requirements. also, patching the game is confusing. i downloaded the most recent patch, and installed it. what i got was a menu that was so messed up that i couldn't even exit the game from it. Overall, buy Shogun: Total War Warlord edition. it will get you ready for Medieval: Total War the next game coming from the same developers!

"Can't get enough of it!", This game is my type of game. I control an army of thousands and I get to decide who is in my army (Archers, Samarai, Heavy Cavalry, Monks, etc.), who I will be attacking, and how I will be attacking. Sounds simple...Sort of. If you like strategy games, here you go. This game takes some thought, but not too much too rack your brain. I have been looking for my type of game since I got my computer last year and this is it. I have been bored with the RPG games, which are basically the same over and over and take hours upon hours just walking around, wasting MY time. I get bored with the sports games because they just get so monotinous after awhile. Play one, you play 'em all. This is different. You command your land and your people. You increase your peoples way of life and in turn you will slowly take over the world. Build an army, with some sword dojos and legendary armory, and you got it made. At least you do if you play on the Easy and Normal levels. Play difficult and this game just gets more fun. Making you think harder and making every decision on where you are attacking next a crucial one. It's so hard to explain why I like it, I could, but I do not have the time to do so. Take my word for it, this is a game worth the money. I stayed up all night playing this game already, just me and my buddy. I haven't done that since High School.

"Age of Empires, move over!", Somewhere in the course of the video game industry, strategy games lost the strategy involved. The games became races to retrieve materials and build massive armies. Lost was the skill in commanding troops, stratigically placing men on the battlefield, overthrowing your openent not by your physical superiotity but by tactics.

This tactical aspect of strategy games returns in full force in Shogun Total War, which pits you as the Shogun of Japan, the ultimate military rular, bent on ravaging the other shoguns and uniting Japan as a single force.

In your quest of doing so, Total War combines the battles of Age of Empires with the tactical and stratigic fun of Risk. When defending in a battle you have time to stratigically place your troops, place them within trees and your opponents can't find you, place them atop a hill and you have better bow and arrow range, place a brigade behind and a brigade in front and trap them between two giant forces. Sign treaties, assasinate with your ninjas, but you must continually watch your rescorces.

The game is not simply stratigally superior to its counterparts, however, it is also graphically superior. You don't train one horceman at a time, or a single bowman, now its sixty at a time. Zoom in to watch individual conflicts as your foces colide with your opponent's or watch the battle as a whole as over 1000 troops go head to head in battle.

If you happened across this game I imagine you are searching for a strategy game, if that is the case, I can guarentee you, Shogun Total War shall not disappoint!
