It's World War 3 on a scale and level of intensity that has never been seen. The full war genre that Tom Clancy created with Red Storm Rising eventually comes to life with Tom Clancy's EndWar - a chillingly realistic vision of World War 3!

True to the Tom Clancy's videogames' tradition of innovation and excellence, Tom Clancy's EndWar is an all-new breed of strategy game. Designed from the ground up for consoles, it is a fusion of next-gen technology, superior design and first-class production values behind which is veteran strategy games designer Michael De Plater who's previous titles include the Total War series.

Set in 2020, with resources growing scarce every nation must look after themselves. Tom Clancy's EndWar explores a full-scale land war between superpowers.

Great Fun
Great Game... Voice controls are perfect and work really really well. The Single Player story mode is alot of fun but isnt detailed enough. Also you dont gather resources of any kind.

But other than those two points its great. Theres alot of action and the graphics hold up well.

All in all a great game..

8.5/10

Missed opportunity
I bought this game after seeing the amazing game trailers and was genuinely excited by the game because of a number of features. I had hoped that the novel way of commanding units would allow for more features in game, as they are often cut or limited in console releases of strategy games out of necessity. I am also a big fan of strategy games and off most of the Tom Clancy franchise.

I will start with what I feel is wrong with the game first; the voice recognition was poor for myself and all (two other friends) that played it. I tried swapping the headsets around in case of fault (which was pointless anyway as it worked fine for other games) but it did not improve matters. I don't know why, as people have commented on the good voice recognition, so I put it down to English accents and the games inability to recognise them. Interestingly, if I put on an American accent, more commands were obeyed, although I often would start laughing. This was unfortunately, a large killing blow to the game. Only having every other command obeyed in a strategy game is like playing a first person shooter with a faulty controller. Aside from the above, there were a number of other factors that I did not like, namely the pace of the game and the distinctly average graphics. The graphics I can easily forgive as I don't really feel the necessity for amazing graphics in a strategy game, but at times the play was boring. Slowly moving across the map with a small number of units (the maximum number of units is far to low making large battles non-existent despite what the trailers show) to take posts for points to bring in more units was at times slow and dull. Your units can be quickly replaced meaning that often, when you kill something or something gets killed, it makes little difference except for travelling time as it usually has to move from the back of the field. This creates stalemate situations often that sometimes you can fight for 5 or 10 minutes and gain no ground. How much more fun it would be if units didn't re-spawn, and when they were gone, they were gone.

The above may sound overly critical, but the game does have some redeeming qualities. The mix of units is simple and a bit limited, but it works well and is well, if not realistically, balanced. This is a strategy game on a console, a format hard to design strategy games for, and the voice command is a recent method of overcoming the consoles limitations, it would seem a good choice if only it worked in my, and my friends, cases. The animation is good, and the storyline of such games is normally atrocious, however I found it passable in this case.

Unfortunately I was not taken with this games and returned it having only owned it for a month, a shame as I really wanted to like it and gave it more time than perhaps I should have.

really poor Quality by Tom, compare to his other games.
really poor to use it, as well as the missions, no story to it, silly game for under 10 years.
