  1. Tom Clancy's Endwar is an innovative RTS, suitable both for the genre-fan and the newbie. The gameplay is slightly more action than usual, and the closer look to the battlefield could disappoint the strategy purists, but vocal commands and great visuals make this game a must-try.
  2. It appears as if the extended wait for us PC gamers paid off. The graphics are way better than on the consoles and the possibility of combining voice-control and classic PC-RTS-control enables you to act much quicker then on other platforms.

    Tom Clancy's Endwar is a very good strategy game, a experience that no genre fan should let escape, because the sensation of having under our command such a number of troops who obey our orders is just fantastic. Its biggest problem, though, is its shallowness in strategic options in comparison with what we are used to seeing on PC.

    It has a few flaws that bar it from being a breakthrough, but one can hardly find an experience any more epic as strategy games go. Commanding units in the Third World War with your voice is more thrilling than any battles in the best rts games to date. [Apr 2009]
  5. Tom Clancy’s EndWar is certainly not a crowning achievement for the franchise, but it works well as an RTS and may help to draw new players to the genre. Hardcore RTS fans will likely be disappointed by the game’s lack of depth, however.

    If you love playing RTS games and have played many this game is completely a disappointment. The graphics, sounds, ect are satisfactory, BUTIf you love playing RTS games and have played many this game is completely a disappointment. The graphics, sounds, ect are satisfactory, BUT the in-game UI will have you wondering what is happening? First off the games voice command system is a nice touch, but the developer built the game to rely on it heavily, which flaws the game because the voice command system is flawed. You haft to speak slowly word for word and thats just not fun. But, the biggest draw back is the games camera. Your camera is anchored and FIXED onto your selected unit and you CANNOT scroll away from it to look for threats, pre-plan the terrain or anything. You can only see what you unit sees. Making it worse even with air units your camera is placed under the, For example a helicopter. The camera is really low and you cannot see threats over or behind (Buildings, Trees ect.) You also cannot zoom out to see to get a better view of the action. If anything they did however add a 'binocular zoom' which makes looking are pixelated pebbles on the ground easier to view. Therefore it gets a 1, because at least the game works I just can't play a game that blinds you to your surroundings. Full Review »

    Endwar, first off is the only RTS ive seen that shows true realism and strategy. other RTSs ive seen is merely who has the most forces, nowEndwar, first off is the only RTS ive seen that shows true realism and strategy. other RTSs ive seen is merely who has the most forces, now with Endwar its not how many you have but how you use them. and true history has shown us that numbers dont mean anything. think about the US forces in Iraq, or Afghanistan. when Desert Storm happend we has maybe 20,000 soldiers there against 500,000-1,000,000 enemies. but because of tactics they prevaled. and thats what this RTS is about. its about how efficently you can think as a General. and how smart you are when it comes to commanding troops. simply charging all your troops at once would be foolish as one well placed artillery strike would end it.
    i rate this game a 10 because thios is the only RTS in exsistance that brings in true realism and Strategy in to the gaming world. plus i think the game was really fun.

    This game is an actual rts, most real time strategies consist of running in and seeing who has more forces, endwar shows that if you use This game is an actual rts, most real time strategies consist of running in and seeing who has more forces, endwar shows that if you use tactics, it's possible to take out waves of tanks with something as simple as one unit of riflemen. I give it a 10 because of the amazing storyline depicting world war 3, the graphics it has considering it is an rts, and the playability and gameplay. It's possibly the best game I've ever played.
