One of those games that doesn't just live up to expectations, it destroys them, and sets a new standard.
The replay value of Shogun: Total War is immense.

This game was the first of many. This game was the first to have large scale battles. It was amazing conquering Japan, and building up territories. Top 50 games of all time.

In the year 2000 my Mum bought a home PC and so I went to a games store to look for something to play. I always had a thing for ninja and samurai and Japanese history and culture in general so when I saw this game on the shelf and how many awards it had recently won I thought I'd give it a shot.
Let me just say, this isn't just nostalgia speaking. I loved it back then and I would still occasionally play it up until September last year when I finally bought a modern gaming PC and got the sequel. Even so, I'm sure I'll probably return to it from time to time. It has the most replay value of any video game I have ever come across.

Everything about the game smacks of good research and authenticity, down to the ability to select a Japanese voiceover with English subtitles rather than having English voices all the way through.
Not only is "Shogun" a challenging and engrossing 3D real-time tactical combat game, but it also features a great turn-based strategy component that complements the combat wonderfully.
A very satisfying wargame, if not the end-all-beat-all game we'd hoped for. [Aug 2000, p.88]
It's obvious that every detail of the game was carefully considered in relation to historical fact and you'll feel as though you understand feudal Japan a little better after playing.
love it. just rebought it from online game vendor. best £8 i ever spent to get the gold edition. not greatly graphical but i never enjoyed the strategic battles, i just love the strategy map and moving large armies to impending doom or victory

The sense of gaming experience is so overload in this one. On that day this games captured my mind with atmoshpere and ambience. 9/10 easily.
