As far as sound goes, I think unimpressive is a good word. The game’s sound is fine, the battle noises sound okay, but they’re nothing worth writing home about. The background music is hardly noticeable, but it doesn’t take away from the game at all. Unfortunately it doesn’t add anything special either.
What it comes down to is that if you like war-gaming turn based strategy, you’ll enjoy Shattered Union. If you don’t, then Shattered Union offers nothing groundbreaking to pull you into the genre. Nevertheless it’s an enjoyable game to play, just not something particularly immersive. If you’re a TBS fan you can’t go wrong; the game retails at $30.
