Tom Clancy's EndWar (Xbox 360, 2008)

This is going to be a exellent game! The only reason I am rating this as good and not excellent is because of the key to voice communication. I absolutly love the voice commands but I feel that the average gamers that do not own a hardcore headset & mic may get the raw end of the deal. This game gives u that perfect reason to go buy that $100 surround sound headset.

When playing the demo, it seemed like a pretty sweet game with alot of potential. Little did I know that the demo you can get online IS basically the entire game in a nutshell.

The voice command system is awesome, though a bit buggy. Some commands just don't register correctly even when others work perfectly. Also, the volume has to be consistent so if you think you can play this at night quietly, voice commands are going to be all messed up. Still, it's a whole new direction to take the RTS genre.

There's a severe lack of units. It's basically Rock-Paper-Scissors. Transports beat Gunships, Gunships beat Tanks, Tanks beat transports. There's also riflemen and engineers but they're both essentially worthless except for taking objectives or if you can get engineers garrisonned where the enemy will actually show up. Artillery is also weak against everything but their long range makes them decent. You're pretty much looking for a unit, sending the unit that can beat it, then retreating the second the enemy sends a unit that can beat your's. There's no in-between units that might be effective against more than one other type of unit. Taking down structures is also pretty lame in that it still takes forever to demolish something, especially in the raid missions where you're timed and it still ends up being just a "Destroy all Enemies" mission.

There's no base building (Unless you count upgrading the uplinks to give you support which is expensive). There's also unit upgrades between missions that supposedly help. Short of secondary abilities, I never noticed any difference in their performance. For example, fully upgraded transports still get whipped by un-upgraded tanks. Fully killing an enemy unit before they can be extracted also results in no noticeable difference when the dead unit is called back into the field.

While opening up a new aspect of play for an RTS, they pretty much failed the generic RTS qualities that made them so enjoyable. While watching the units run around can be pretty cool, the camera is hot glued to the unit so you're constantly voice commanding to flip the camera from unit to unit. Pair it up with the naturally-chosen fast pace that people may use when in a rush, it can screw up and not read the command correctly.

The online is pretty much only played by hardcore players now that enough time that passed that the casual players got bored of it. So unless you've got alot of patience to become pro at this game, you'll get sick of the online in a couple of hours at most.

Honestly, if you want a good RTS experience with a semi-realistic feel, go with Dale Brown's Act of War: Direct Action.

Well, I have not played this game yet seeing as how I just bought yesterday. But I can and will say, that reading all the reviews and visiting web sites on this game I am very, Very anxious to play this game. It sounds like an amazeing game by master (Tom Clancy). I have played most of his titles and can say there all great, except (Splinter Cell part #2) it is okay, but a little dull, and more of the same of part #1.

Plain and simple (Just buy End War). Gauranteed to be excellent and very fun/strategic/and DEADLY!
Thank you for reading, epaypall/Lenny

it almost same as ;OUTFIT' XBOX 360 IDEA...I ENJOY IT...GAME IS VERY GOOD FOR STAGEY GAME...CONTROL GOOD..
BAD IS...I CAN'T DOING MYSELF WITH MILITARY ACT..

I thought this game was totally different than I expected. It's more like those old command and conquer games, where you move army's around the battlefield. I guess I was expecting an FPS shooter game . The game seems to be very popular, but just not my cup o tea, so I sold it back and took the loss:(

This is an ok game i have some problems with thevoice rec. as it some times sends the wrong troops to the wrong areas but other than that it was a fun game .

This game is excellent! I'd say this is one of the best games in this series! I'd reccomend this game to ANYONE!

A++++++

Don't buy this game, it is incredibly lame. The thought of being able to command everything sounds exciting but when your voice commands aren't 100% crystal clear emphasizing certain sounds the game doesn't recognize what your saying and your basically in for a long game. I would definately say pass on this game. Maybe good for a rent but not worth buying.

This is a very good modern warfare simulation ... voice-activated units (you'll need a headset) make this game very fun to command, as you can deploy tanks, gunships, and force recon soldiers from satellite command, or zoom into an individual unit's perspective and direct sniper fire, MLRS strikes and artillery barrages yourself.

Highly recommended ... think chess with armored divisions and nuclear weapons.

Pros: The voice-command system works very well, and is extremely fun to use. Endwar makes you feel like you are a battlefield commander. For the most part, your units will do exactly what you want them to -- something not present in most console strategy titles. The units are well-balanced, and purchasing upgrades for your units adds a layer of depth and strategy to the game. The graphics and visuals are also strong, and issuing commands is just plain fun.

Cons: Lack of depth. Even purchasing upgrades doesn't do away with the very simple rock-paper-scissors gameplay in Endwar. In fact, the game even touts this system as the "chain of combat." Because of this, the tactics that you can use in this game are somewhat limited. The "Theater of War" mode also leaves something to be desired. There is no storyline whatsoever to be found here, and its difficult to feel like you are making any difference in the grand Multiplayer struggle.

Conclusion: Endwar is fun and rewarding at first, but it is unlikely to keep you playing for very long. If you are a strategy fan waiting for the console to finally get an RTS game that compares to PC, you won't quite find it here -- but in the voice command system, you will find the foundation of what a great console RTS could be.

Excellant seller with reasonable shipping price, with fast shipping, and it was exactly what I ordered.

This game is amazing. if you are into war games this is for you. Once you learn the tatics of war ( proper support, how to secure a location and keep it that way) you will be amazed at the gameplay. The voice command feature works for those who doubt it.

this is what my son wanted for Christmas. The cost was better than what was in the stores for new. I usually buy used games but this particular game, I could not get in a used version.

the game was in perfect condition, played great. the item was shipped fast, and i received it very quickly. great seller highly recommended

It had everything in it and works perfectly, no scoring on the CD. I greatly enjoy playing the game. Delivery was quick as well.

odd Game cool in its own way Thought it was a first person shooter found out it was just watchin a big battle go down

This game is highly addictive, its a fun and very interative game, might be the next generation of gamming, I love this game!

Excellent RTS game. Away from the normal. Battles are around 20 minutes, and you have to think quick.

thank you for a speedy deliver..ive been looking for a great game to play during my down time...AWSOME GAME

Don't get me wrong. This game is a lot of fun, but it is really hard. I had difficulties on the tutorial campaign, and I'm not an ideeit. (Sorry. I just had to.) The graphics where fine for a strategy game, they were not a problem. The storyline was very good and detailed. I was interested in it because it was highly dramatic. The game takes place in the near future where the three nations, US, Europe, and Russia get into a final war to end all wars. It is the typical Tom Clancy complicated plot. The sound was very good, but the controls were pretty complicated. You can use your headset/mic to give your troops orders. It surprisingly works pretty well, but I stuck to the normal controls. The camera view is right behind your troops, and it is a very good view for the game, not too close to the point where you can't see the rest of the battlefield, but close enough that you can see your men. I liked the game a lot, but it was very challenging. Be prepared to smash a few things in frustration if you get this game.

Take Ghost Recon and multiply each soldier by five, add a couple of tanks, and replace your controller with a headset. You have now upgraded to Ubisoft’s new RTS game, EndWar, where online competition and vocally issued commands will have you addicted to winning World War III again and again.
The best part about this game is the voice command,but thats coming from a console gamer that is not into RTS.I guess thats the only way they could keep our attention since were not mashin six buttons per every second. This game seems very hard to master and there is a huge community of online battles. And as if we needed another excuse to beat online opponents to a pulp, each Live battle you fight helps determine the victor of a worldwide game of global domination called Theater of War. In this mode, the outcomes of each online skirmish are totaled daily to determine which nation takes which territory. At the end of 20 days, one nation triumphs and another round starts.The achievements are hard to get.Hard!.This game has the highest difficulty rating proportionate to full 1000 points.One thousand plus hours to full 1000 score. Theres a reason why we have so many buttons on our controllers and it seems a shame to not use them all.

The person described the item in a very accurate way and the game was in a very good condition and he also shipped to me in a very reasonable time. I have been very satisfied with this purchase.
