Tom Clancy’s EndWar – My First 15 Mins
Written by andy on Monday, November 10th, 2008 in Gaming.
Tom Clancy’s EndWar is the latest in Ubisoft’s increasingly diverse catalog of games set in the fictional modern-day world conceived by spy-thriller author Clancy.
A global energy crisis has left Russia in a state of economic boom while the US and the newly established European Federation are locked in an escalating arms race. This leads to a three-way Cold War as long-standing battle lines are redrawn between the world’s three competing superpowers. Only the lack of a catalyst stands between the current state of strained tensions and open warfare on a global scale.
EndWar’s voice recognition is incredibly accurate – to the point that the game will even detect and account for mild stuttering or repeated words – but the range of commands you can actually feed into the game is slightly limited.
I think that EndWar stands out as the most effective take on RTS gaming when it comes to consoles and I am going to enjoy playing this game more through the single player campaign.
