    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 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.

    A good way to describe Endwar is to think of it like one of the Total War titles, except in a modern setting and the inability to scroll all over the battlefield. There is no base building and gameplay is heavily focused on battlefield tactics. It may take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, its pretty much downhill from then on.You get to choose between 3 factions, USA,A good way to describe Endwar is to think of it like one of the Total War titles, except in a modern setting and the inability to scroll all over the battlefield.

It may take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, its pretty much downhill from then on.You get to choose between 3 factions, USA, Europe or Russia. Having given it a once through, I find it interesting enough to want to try it again with another faction. Much has been made about its voice command ability, but if you know anything about the technology behind voice recognition, this feature should be spotty at best. Fortunately, the game plays perfectly fine without voice command. Expand

    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, 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 againstEndwar, 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.

    First off I would like to comment on this game's realism: it is beyond excellent. While some gamers may criticise it for being a non-stop rock-paper-scissors match, this is a reflection of the modern battlefield. A tank will never be defeated by any number of rifle wielding infantry, but it will never stand a chance against a group of wel entrenched combat engineers. And artillery, First off I would like to comment on this game's realism: it is beyond excellent. While some gamers may criticise it for being a non-stop rock-paper-scissors match, this is a reflection of the modern battlefield. A tank will never be defeated by any number of rifle wielding infantry, but it will never stand a chance against a group of wel entrenched combat engineers. And artillery, if used properly, can truly devastate anything on the battlefield. The depth of the game is actully to scale as well, which some gamers may not like. the tactical interface is very similar to the military's FBCB2 system, which allows a commander to keep track of his units and give command digitally as well as by voice. Gamers that want a massive, epic RTS with legions of troops on both sides hammering away at massive emplaced defences and on field bases should search elsewhere, but those interested in seeing how an actual battle developes from the perspective a modern battalion commander will love the game.

    EndWar is a new breed of RTS, what other RTS games used voice command before EndWar? None. Then we have the people whining about camera controls, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REALISTIC!

    This is a summary of my thoughts (Short). I have read through many review and agree with both sides, this game is very very cool, it has some of the best features in a RTS i have seen in a very long time, i play man RTS games like The COH Series. And i still find Endwar to be my favorite. Although it is alot simpler than most RTS and contains less units its boiled down to the strategic useThis is a summary of my thoughts (Short). I have read through many review and agree with both sides, this game is very very cool, it has some of the best features in a RTS i have seen in a very long time, i play man RTS games like The COH Series. And i still find Endwar to be my favorite. Although it is alot simpler than most RTS and contains less units its boiled down to the strategic use of units, which is where most players go wrong. You have to learn what counter what and how to use this effectively. In the end i feel its a great game with few flaws which don't pull the product down. RECOMMENDED! Expand

  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. EndWar is a raw diamond: Ubisoft has tried to innovate in the RTS genre with the voice control scheme but at the same time the gameplay is still very classic like any other strategy game with a general lack of tactical aspects.
  3. While the console versions are solid, the PC version of this unique strategy game is too stripped to stand out.
