No other game can be properly compared to it.

A very deep game, one that is bound to excite fans of Shogun along with anyone looking for another reason to stay up really late playing a turn-based strategy game.

If you want real time strategy with more teeth you cannot ignore this.

Прекрасное продолжение и несомненно одна из лучших частей серии. Средневековая европа богатая на события не может не радовать.

Not a great graphics. Main game is only map of Europe like a board game. And you turn pieces on in. But when you go in battle you can play realtime battles with hundreds or thousands soldiers. It was real fun taking the state after state and developing new units. I even bought it with viking expansion on CD and then lately on steam. It had a some bugs mostly in prolonged games (when it fell on some AI actions) or with graphic card on newer computers (more ten 1GB RAM). On steam i had only one bug so far. When you start it, you need to start it twice. First time the loader falls, but second time it works ok.

Second game of the Total War series. Armies move from province to province instead of moving freely over the map. Graphics did not age well.

An uncompromising game in its presentation, scope, and challenge level. It's well-made, intricate, functional, and deadly, much like the weaponry of that distant time.

Strategy game of the year, perhaps of the millennium.

This game is great. You can conquered the whole world and fight against many different armies. You can fight in real time deciding everything or you can make a quick battle. If you are a good strategist it's better to combat directly yourself. You'll save more soldiers for your future battles. I only recommend the quick battle when you have conquered many territories and you have many resources (then you don't mind to lose some soldiers). I still remember that I wasn't able to reach America cause I had to upgrade my ships and I didn't know that! lol

A pleasant surprise and proves to be one of the best strategy games on the market, with vast and epic battles complete with an impressive system that goes ten times further than the most.

It's highly addictive (I've played at least 50 hours and still want more), and the variety of factions gives it a LOT of replayability. [Dec 2002, p.96]

Boring landscapes, crummy models, and weak animation. On top of that, it chugs. It's the worst of both worlds, baby!

Its not just great but also dark its full of turmoil and violence its simply the best medieval game which brings the horror of the medieval age into the player to feel the terror and religious conflicts of the dark ages Best game in the series so far.

Best game of the series holding its throne together with Rome total war..this "risk" style of moving across the map also has its own charm i still play it active after 10 years

It's not a perfect game, far from it. Still I enjoy it more than any other Total war game I have played. A very enjoyable game really.
