Video Game Reviews of Tom Clancy's EndWar
Customer Review: Simply Great !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of Clancy's series. I own all Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon titles for Xbox, both the original and the 360. Obviously, my main focus in games is tactical shooters. I have never been too big of a fan of strategy games. I did always enjoy the tactical aspect of Clancy's shooters, though. Those of you who played GRAW 2 certainly remember missions where you had support of tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters and even air-strikes. EndWar basically takes that concept and magnifies it to the size of a battalion. And it works magnificently.
EndWar puts the missing "R" in the RTS genre. You don't build silly contraptions, you don't harvest mysterious resources. There's you, the enemy and the battlefield. You have infantry, armor, artillery, attack helicopters and other units at your disposal. The battlefields are real cities with landmarks you can recognize. Everything is destructible. Buildings collapse under artillery barrage. Trees burn when hit with incendiaries, etc. There are 39 maps! And you can play each in four different modes, in each one facing different objectives, what creates pretty much endless list of combinations.
I came across some criticism about the game being a simple rock-paper-scissors scheme: tanks beat transports, transports beat gunships, gunships beat tanks, etc. To me, the people who say this, simply don't get it. The beauty of the game is that basic rules are simple, and then combination of terrain, objectives and the style of your play and your enemy make every battle unique. Not to mention that the units have pretty impressive number of upgrades, which actually make it possible to violate the rock-paper-scissors scenario, e.g., beat transports with gunships.
The voice command system is nice and most gamers love it. I have a kid, though, and I only play when he is asleep, so voice commands are out of the question. Surprisingly, the game is very playable with the controller only. I don't feel that I am at a disadvantage. Another cool feature is action replay. It is a great feature and yet few games have it (Actually, the only other one I can think of is Halo 3) Combined with the great artwork of landscapes and units, makes for a great feature.
EndWar is a must-have in your Clancy's collection. Single player is tons of fun and online play is the most addictive ever.

Customer Review: At last a Fun RTS!
Summary: 4 Stars
All I have to say, is that End War, is one of the best RTS games I've played in a while! The graphics look great, plus the fact that you can actually give spoken orders to your unit make it a unique game in its field, plus its a lot of fun. It definitely gives you the feeling that you are in command, not only of your units, but also of the outcome of the battle. A wrong order will define the outcome of the war.Customer Review: a GREAT game!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Clancy's Endwar is one of the greatest RTS/RTT games I have ever played. Even greater than my previous favorite: Westwood's Red Alert 2. One amaaazing characteristic of this game is the use of your VOICE to command your units. Honestly..playing this game has helped me in real life by relieving my fear of speaking out--excellent--it may help other people too.
You can still play without using voice commands, but everyone should really try it out. It's just great fun with the feeling of talking to your units.
Last thing..I enjoy the graphics.

Customer Review: Down Right Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
Endwar is an very deep and satisfying experiance. not only does it have great gameplay (featuring voice command) it also has a very captivating storyline. Instead of other RTSes which either jump way into the future or look at classic battles and scenarios, Endwar lives in the present. Endwar deals with a conflict only 8 years from the present and because of this the game is all too realistic. You feel like this scenario could occur and that's why Endwar is such a great game.

Customer Review: End War: Unit Combat
Summary: 5 Stars
End War Unit combat can sometimes get repeditive but requires a great deal of stratagy.The basic Rock Paper Scissors combat creates a new way to use stratagy. You need transports to defend tanks from gunships and you need gunships to defend your transports from tanks. While it can get repeditive the strategy of the system makes up for it.
Overall I rate the Unit Combat a Stunning 9.8 of 10
