Some says that there is a problem with previous installation. The game cannot playable till certain time. Some also says that I cannot even install the game to my HDD before the actual release.

I don’t think that this can be happen in Shogun 2 - Total War. The downloaded game can be installed in your computer anyhow but as you know that these downloaded game does require registration. So you cannot register the game for some period of time. After the complete release only you can register into their site and start playing the game. Until the retail copy of game didn’t hit the market you cannot play the game in any manner.

With the Steam it seems to me that we can play the game prior to the release but I don’t know whether it is hundred percent true or false. If this is the case then what is the use of retail version game? They become unsold even after the release I think. I know that the steam has done the excellent thing to the player without waiting for the game in retailer shop. But will it really enable us to play? That’s is the another matter.

It seems to me that the publisher of Shogun 2 - Total War has done the excellent thing to its fans. They did it purposely as I think. By this way the game can playable together at once. So that no can tell that he/she played the game foremost. By this manner one can enough time for he/she gets the retail version disk and install in their computer and wait for online. The SEGA will activate its registration server at a time in all location no matter where the player exists.
