Total War: Shogun 2 is the latest game created by in the
Total War Series. Total War in this new game, basically fixed everything
that was wrong with all of the previous total war games. New to this game
is customization of generals and characters, when new levels are reach upgrades
are customizable, you can make a general a great warrior, a cunning strategist,
or other great options. Ninja's can become ruthless killers over time and
with experience. For the campaign mode there are three options, short campaign,
long campaign, and domination campaign.
Also new to Total war is Shogun 2's online gaming options,
now online campaigns with friends are possible which is an amazing
feature with team speak already built into the game.
The Graphics of this game are amazing, however if your
computer isn't the latest and greatest you will have to turn down the quality
to moderate or low just to be able to play the game without
an enormous lag on the game play.
A requirement for even installing the game is a Steam
account. This is good and bad, good because it makes online game play
that much easier, bad if your internet sucks or you have limited access it
makes online playing, updating, or even installing the game a nightmare.
Good:
-Domination campaign (play till the country is yours)
-4 turns in a year instead of 2 like in Rome Total War
-Online multilayer campaign mode
Bad:
-Graphics are so intense they need to be turned down
just to play
-Steam account good idea but not so great in practice
