If not the best then one of thew best total war game of all time. campigne is great, factions are awesome, controls are well optimized, and you can buy peak DLCs to put a cherry on top of the cake. I firmly believe that if someone wants to try a total war game for the first time than this one is the best for you. What surprises me is that game is 14 years old and still gets good reviews. Also from the point of history this game is quite interesting, because its about Japan, a country that we rarely talk about during a history lesson. <-----------Also true for the DLCs!

the best game ever made

This game has aged well. While still enjoyable, it is not as sophisticated in game play as Total War - Romance of Three Kingdom. There are a reasonable amount of city, soldiers and agents (monk, ninja and etc.) upgrades. The base game is a good 10 to 20-hour play. Like all strategy games, the replayability is pretty high but not as excellent as other later Total Wars titles.

This game has obviously aged and all the flaws have become very apparent. It was a fun game, but there are other better options now.
