IGN: Total War: Shogun 2 Review

Longtime fans will surely find a lot that's familiar in Shogun 2, but will also find Creative Assembly's most polished, well-presented and playable version of its Total War franchise. Shogun 2 is an expertly tuned turn-based strategy game filled with exhilarating real-time tactical battles against a capable artificial intelligence or others online. With a gigantic multiplayer suite and fantastic visuals and sound, Shogun 2 is a high point for the Total War series, featuring a staggering attention to detail and immensely satisfying gameplay.

"Breaking from the complexity of Empire: Total War, Creative Assembly trims things down for Shogun 2. It's not a revolutionary step, but a necessary one."

Damn. They dumbed the game down. Empire and Napoleon were hardly complex.... I like IGN but they always blatantly support the dumbing down of games. Still getting Shogun tho.

Can't avail of this till Friday. but the review tells me everything I already know. Beauty + intense real-time strategy + turn-based Civ awesomeness = PLATINUM.

Every self-respecting PC Gamer will buy this.

Why do I even bother buying games anymore when they are given out free 9 years later.

I know right!? It really grinds my gears!

anonymousfan1873d ago

Patience has never been more lucrative. No seriously I never played a Total War game I am happy to be allowed to try this for free.

You'd think they'd put a link to the steam page in the article, but strangely the only link I could find was to the metacritic page.
