NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION: Taishi

Taishi is a good game, and as far as battles go, it's the best of the Nobunaga series. In my personal opinion, the Power-Up Kit version is even better than Shogun 2 because it captures the atmosphere of the Sengoku era more authentically. Unfortunately, Taishi hasn't been fully appreciated by Koei, who didn't release the Power-Up Kit in english, which greatly improves the battle gameplay.
