I'll give the demo 3/5. I'm really enjoying it, well, most of it. There are a hell of a lot of missing sounds, most importantly the sound of marching feet and galloping horses. The music is dreadful and doesn't fit with this period whatsoever, had to turn it off.

I took a point off for naval battles. They were way too overhyped for what they are... which is nothing more than click on your ship, right click on the enemy ship. They look good, but with tactics playing no part whatsoever in naval battles i see me auto-calcing them after the first day or two of playing. Make a good game graphics most definitely do not, as far as navy battles are concerned.

The animations are kind of silly... soldiers and cavalry just don't look angry when they fight in melee, they look like they're dancing and lightly, ever so softly touching each other with feathers... not screaming, hacking, slashing, stabbing, bludgeoning, beating to death with rifle butts like i imagined it would be.

Still, i know it's going to be the best game to come out in years (for me) and i'll play it every single day until the next TW game comes out after it because i know it's going to be amazing despite the few things that personally aren't to my taste.

I know i'll rate the full game 5/5 though. Even if it turns out to be horrendously bad, (it won't) i will still rate it 100% if for no other reason than CA finally put in a command that will let you move your soldiers forward in order without completely mangling their formation. Seriously, you should have seen that this feature was necessary in the beta stages of Shogun, why has it taken a decade?
