Description

True to the Tom Clancy's video games' 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.

2020, with resources growing scarce every nation must look after themselves. Tensions between the US, Europe and Russia are near a breaking point. One spark will ignite the war to end all wars. ENDWAR lets players experience this geopolitical epic in two distinct phases:

A chillingly realistic vision of World War 3, in the fashion of the best techno-thrillers… Set in 2020, Tom Clancy's EndWar explores a full-scale land war between superpowers. While the narrative engrosses the player in a massive global conflict, with battles taking place in American and European heartlands, on 40 real-life recognizable battlefields including Washington D.C., Paris and Moscow.

Tom Clancy's EndWar exploits the capabilities of next-generation consoles to deliver production values comparable to the best action titles, rendering the chaos and grandeur of tactical combat more vividly than any game before it.

The game's intense depiction of land warfare never overwhelms the player because Tom Clancy's EndWar's console-based design and interface empowers him to constantly maintain situational awareness and execute orders with the dispatch of a tactical genius. Simplicity ensures that success depends on tactical decision-making, not manual dexterity.

In every way possible, Tom Clancy's EndWar is designed for maximum replayability.

Reviews on Tom Clancy's EndWar [PlayStation 3]

Rowdy on Tom Clancy's EndWar [PlayStation 3], 03-12-2008

"Set in a futuristic WW III setting you get to choose one of three factions, each having their own strong and weak points. Once you picked your favorite faction ( Europe, U.S.A. or Russia) you can go to war in this RTS by controlling your men with your voice.

Like every other Tom Clancy game out there, the presentation is absolutely beautiful. It looks great. The soldiers, the vehicles and battlefields all look very detailed but it's the voice command system that really stands out. Your men listen exeptionally well to every order you give them through your microphone. They give you status updates on the things happening near their position and even react to an order if that particular order didn't do too well the last time you gave it. Seems like a little thing but these little details not only make this a great game, they also make you feel you're a real supreme commander in charge.

EndWar has a fun singleplayer experience to offer you. Although both friendly and enemy A.I. is of a high standard, the gameplay can tend to become somewhat tedious after a while. More fun and (even) better resistance can be found in the exciting multiplayer mode. Just don't let the whole voice commands system scare you off though: you can play through the entire game without using them.

In the end (no pun intended...) Tom Clancy's EndWar is a good RTS. Even without the innovative implementation of the voice command system."
