5.0 out of 5 stars Just one word to describe it: Addictive, December 27, 2002

By	"abogangster" (Ciudad de Mexico, D.F. Mexico) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent game, boy if you really hook into it you are going to find yourself spending entire nights at your pc playing Shogun Total War Warlord Edition, because it doesn't include only Shogun Total War, but also the Mongol Invasion pack (so thats the reason for the "warlord edition" name), the gameplay is excellent and the graphics are really good, it even includes a tutorial so you can practice your battle skills, (it lacks however a tutorial for the "role play" part, but it's really easy to "know how" if you read the electronic manual first), you will have the chance to select between 7 clans, each one has it's own advantages and disadvantages, but just one word Uesugi ;).

It works well under windows 2000, but you really need a video card with 8 MB of video memory if you want to enjoy the best graphics avaliable, don't worry if you have a pc with integrated graphics it can run in "software mode" (assuming you have at least 4 MB as shared video memory in your PC).

By the way there is an update avaliable at TotalWar web site that fixes some minor issues.

If you are really into strategy games, you MUST buy this one.

P.s. Don't trade with the portuguese, better wait for the dutch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Advertisement, February 27, 2003

The advertising page lists Windows XP as one of the platforms that this can run on. However, when I got the product it listed Windows 95, 98, 2000 or ME. NT is not supported. A user on XP Home Edition in group Limited cannot run this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY IT!!!, May 24, 2004

As the battle scene opens, the 3-D landscape, the hills and the mountains, present a majestic setting. The enemy armies marching towards you in organized military formation makes you feel like you're a general in an actual battle; in that very moment you feel like you're out to conquer the world. Undoubtedly this game is the best war game on the planet. If you want guerilla warfare, get Starcraft or Warcraft. If you want real battles, get Shogun: Total War Warlord Edition. You won't be disappointed, believe me.
