    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.

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

    Graphics don't make a game, but when they are outdated enough to cause a distraction, you know it is a time for an upgrade.

    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.

    A well-conceived expansion pack, which offers plenty of new single-player excitement...but the fact remains that I still had troubles positioning my troops exactly how I wanted to.
