- REVIEW OF TOM CLANCY ENDWAR -
THE GAME
Tom Clancy's EndWar: the name says it all. A new chapter in this saga, well done but could probably get better. EndWar literally propels us into the world of the future because it set in 2020 and for voice commands intriguing but not exceptional. We can choose at the beginning of the game, which army control: the American, European or Russian (which will determine the final of the whole game).
GRAPHICS
The correct expression to define it is:''Without infamy and without praise.'' Probably concentrating on the novelty of voice commands, the staff Ubisoft has''ignored''a bit 'the look and feel, but is not entirely bad.
THE SOUND
There are background noise, but only those necessary. For the rest of those phrases of allies are important, which is good to pay attention.
THE VOICE COMMAND
We could not devote a paragraph to a great news like that, but it could succeed even better, maybe in the future and with more technology. Certainly is the hub of the game, really commanding personally, be a real general while remaining seated on our chairs. Leaving aside the time to devote to configure voice commands (which is a lot, but in view of future fun ...), is very funny to see how soldiers respond to commands, but if the words are not articulated well, can become problematic play. Even the''professionals''of strategy games may find some flaws (for example, is difficult to make small but necessary moves to their troops) in a game that still looks very good.
REALLY WANT TO TRY ?
The fun continues online, where you can clash even 4 players, but a tip: just like in COD Modern Warfare, the internet is full of expert that are really difficult to fight.
FINAL COMMENT
It 's a game to try, because this kind of game are very rare. Certainly is nice, but if you want to play you should think to use a voice game than to a game of strategy, otherwise they can really disappoint.
PRO & CONS
Pros: novelty, is not complicated, the initial missions are useful in environments (which is not present in all games).
Cons: still to improve speech technology, overpriced headset PS.

REVIEWER COMMENT
Not a bad first time, but you can certainly do better. Errors during voice transmissions can pass if it is a really easy mission, but in the moment of truth has to rely 100% in controls, and it's not the case. As already mentioned, and I think that strategy gamers will agree, sometimes in this game you need to move just a few feet, a move that can save your game and if this is difficult, slow, this is very much penalizing. For me it was fun the first few times, but for this series of problems I left early.
