    Adds so much additional meat to the original design that going back to the old game seems unthinkable.

    [Review of "Mongol Invasion" expansion only] A crapload of fun! Let's just get to the gist of it here, this is a good expansion pack.

    A great expansion pack. It makes Shogun better, adds new units, modes, and campaigns, and yet doesn't disrupt the sweaty-palmed fun of the original.

    It's the mark of a good expansion like this that you can't imagine going back to playing without it. And The Mongol Invasion renders the original Shogun, an excellent game in its own right, almost obsolete.

    Graphics don't make a game, but when they are outdated enough to cause a distraction, you know it is a time for an upgrade.
