Summary: Shogun 2 is the ultimate refinement of the original formula with a new, cutting-edge AI, more polish and online functionality than ever before. Danl Haas. Overall, Shogun 2 is a vast improvement from recent Total War missteps, and revitalizes the glory of the original Shogun, while adding so much new and interesting content that you might not even remember said original.
But simply put Shogun 2 is good and not just a good game but a good game in the total war series, Rome 2 is possibly a good game now but probably tied worst total war game ever. Shogun 2 hands down, atilla might be what Rome II should have been so you could always wait a week or two and see what the initiall reports on attilla are like. Shogun 2 demonstrates an admirable re-setting of Total War's sights. Total War: SHOGUN 2 features enhanced full 3D battles via land and sea, which made a name for the series, as well as the tactical campaign map that many refer to as the heart and soul of Total War. The Total War series has always been in something of a class of its own. Review: Total War: Shogun 2.
And this one, finally, does right by newcomers, making things as easy and as polished as a game of StarCraft II. April 19, 2011 5:15 PM EST.
