Shogun: Total War
Shogun total war combines a real-time tactical combat system with a turn-based strategic game. What makes the tactical combat so fun is the terrain. There is so much to scope to ambush your enemy from behind hills and have a heap of troops laying wait in forests. So many battles have I won with huge sweeping flanking manoeuvres from forests and hills and totally destroyed the enemy. To see huge amounts of enemy troops sweep in to what appears to be your wavering front line and then have them flanked by your best troops and then watch the enemy crumble, flee, only to be mown down by your best cavalry who lay in wait further off leaving sometimes none of your enemy left alive at all. When it goes that well can only be described as Total joy!!.
Shogun total war is the historical war game that will appeal to most gamers and well deserves its place in the classic hall of fame. Well-done creative assemble and electronic arts for delivering us a masterpiece that was to give rise to countless other success. Bravo!.
