If this is your first Total War I definitly recommend ROME : Total war
and otherwise I have both shogun 2 and the standalone expansion and for DLC however the clans well they're not a must but the blood pack is kinda neat, it's cartoonish but adds to the spectacle when watching enemy soldiers being decapitated :p
It's my favourite game of the series (I love the samurai) though it's not as let's say multicultural as Rome
but the AI has improved ( it's still AI but it's already a little smarter I'd say)
and also consider modding (Rome en Medieval 2 are easier to mod then the later total war games starting from Empire)

No, it is not. I have played Napoleon back when it came out, and the Shogun 2 demo. I know Shogun 2 has 2 campaigns, one around the 15th century, and one around the 12th century or so. I don't know if there's much of a difference between Shogun 2 and Fall of the Samurai, that's why I asked.
PS. When Fall of the Samurai came out, it cost 30$. How much did Shogun 2 cost? 50$ or 30$?

shogun 2 was 50 i think but the 12th century campaign is also DLC so
Shogun 2 is not that different from FOTS only technology improved and guns are OP in masses (but when going 1 on 1 katanas will win for sure) If you liked Napoleon you will like Fall of the samurai, If you're more like steel to steel with epic decapitations buy the original or better do it like me and buy both (Also recomending the blood pack DLC they work for both the expansion and the original game)
for short Shogun 2 --> BANZAAAAI
Fall of the samurai --> Alla the last samurai style action

don't buy the dragon war battle pack (when you buy FOTS later on maybe you get that one for free)

Empire adds a few more layers of complexity over the previous games, but removes some layers too. Overall, I didn't find it much harder than Rome, just different. Just try it yourself and if the theatres or the focus on naval domination or the gunpowder-based militaries bother you, find a copy of Rome.

+1 empire was my dirst total war game too that I owned but I found Rome overall more amusing as Empire was plagued by bugs but It's still a helluva lot of fun

Let's hope the Spartan uniform will be nothing but a speedo, a helmet, and a red cape
