Shogun 2 has brought some sweeping changes to the Total War series of games. Many of these improvements have been well received by the gaming press, which have hailed the game to be the series' best. Notable reviews include PC Gamer's 9.2, which called the game an "admirable re-setting of Total War's sights" with its "tighter, more focused experience than the continental sprawl of Empire and Napoleon" and Strategy Informer's equally high 9.2 review, which says the game is "well worth your money, even on launch day."
