Tom Clancy's EndWar Reviews

EndWar's depiction of WW3 is fought between the United States, Europe, and Russia after Russia sabotages European missile defense networks to cause them to attack a US spacecraft. The game takes place in the future, and all the units are meant to reflect this. Gone is the modern-day grittiness of most Tom Clancy games, as well as the fairly plausible storylines. What's mostly odd about the plot is that it's meant to take place in the same universe as Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, meaning that the three main superpowers, despite having worked together for years, decide to go to war at the drop of a hat. The goal in EndWar's standard mode is to capture command nodes, which are locations scattered around the map. Controlling half of them starts a five-minute countdown timer; controlling all of them...

It is much similar to Star Wars Force Commander of years ago. It plays smoothly and has no bugs that I've seen. The developers really did a good job porting this to PC. The game is really light on my cpu and video card given that it's graphics are rather good for an RTS. Part of this is the fact that any one side is limited to 12 units (4 vehicles or fire teams per unit). The voice acting is also noticeably good and varied. I do not like how the camera angle is set to something similar to an over-the-shoulder 3rd person shooter game like Splinter Cell. I would like the game more if it had an option for a free roaming camera, rather than one locked to the units I own. It isn't in line with the standard of other PC RTS games in terms of complexity and involvement. Micromanagement is not something this game does much while in combat. I don't like heavy micromanagement, but this game is too light...

Then we move on to bad voice recognition and the inability to train that feature. Under cover its a typical Rts in the vein of c and c. The camera view is wild and unwieldly, and the constant pop ups which halt the game, are out of control. I had more fun with the new comand and conquer. their was a strategy there and you had much more control over many more units. The PC version of End War limits you to 5 "rock paper scissors type units, that have to try to capture a majority of check points. ie you have one helocopter unit to cover all the control points on the map. If your into all the between battle cinamatic storylines, you might enjoy the excess of them. Myself I prefer to watch a real movie on DVD, and do battle in a video game. I think the long ago game "real War" was more advanced and fun to play than this. In Conclusion, Ill keep playing, to get my moneys worth. Now I know I wont be tricked into their new soon to be...
