Reviews - Tom Clancy's EndWar

Overall a good rts game specially suited for those who prefer tactical strategy and not base building and research.

Positive things:
- Upgradable army with some upgrades visible on the units and with a noticeable change in stats, specially with the offensive upgrades
- The way the campaign is made is interesting with the air and land support systems providing additional depth to the game
- Visually it has some nice detail
- Vehicles usually use roads to reach their destination faster so reasonable pathfind system for them is present
- The tactical map allows control over units and analysis of some of the important areas of the battlefield that the minimap can't reveal in detail
- Voice commands are intuitive and easy to use but personally i would still not trade it for a more traditional unit control system
- Gameplay options while playing with certain units are significantly large, especially after the upgrades are purchased

Negative things:
- Infantry units don't actually know how to move away from rocks and other small obstacles, colliding with them until they go around it by constantly colliding and moving slightly sideways as they do. Obviously infantry was designed to travel inside transports for any distance greater than a few meters of terrain
- The scale of the combats are rather small independently of where you are fighting and what your objectives are. I know the player leads a task force but afterall it is a war. The land reinforcements available on some situations compensate this slightly with those npc squads attacking each other as the player goes for the major objectives but they are still fighting small skirmishes
- The scale of maps is relatively small considering you are supposed to deploy things like long range artillery although they are still big enough for the player to have to spend sometime searching for that specific enemy squad that decides to cower somewhere without good visibility
- AI decided battles on the battles you didn't fight yourself can ruin your plans as they make you have to fight on two fronts at the same time (this happens mostly with USA but also with Europe, Russia can fight one front battles more easily)
- The visual aspect of the game is good but it weighs more than it should, especially considering the low amount of units you may have on a single map simultaneously
- The world map is actually really small with few territories for those that wish for large campaigns (without repeating battles over and over of course)
- Several territories use the same maps which considering the reduced amount of territories is pretty much insulting to players who have to fight on the same map several times despite being conquering or defending different territories on the world map

really an nice game,by meself i love more the total war kind of strategy in custom battles.And exept the total war games themself this game is the best strategy game.

Voice command

esta bien el juego
tiene buenos controles y su idea aunque no original, esta bien implementada y narrada
mientras que su comando por voz, las partidas contra ia en experto y los constantes ataques de ansiedad para saber que mierda esta haciendo el otro, es lo que mantiene encendido al jugador
pero no todo es perfecto (por eso el 9/10) ya que como todo en el mundo tiene errores y no son problematicos, para empezar su rendimiento en una pc con doble nucleo 1.60hz esta bien para el juego pero ahi veces donde dice que pasaron 7 minutos aunque hayan pasado 1 hora, luego que quiero cargar a fusileros en los transportes y se suben bien, pero cuando quiero que se bajen se traban los vehiculos, incapaces de desembarcar a las unidades.
pero en si un buen juego

Cool

Many good memories with this game back when it was new, lots of fun campaigns and battles. Graphics were quite impressive for it's time along with the level of realism applied. The ability to customize your troops so heavily in campaign was also quite nice. As an RTS it brought lots of new ideas to the table, most of which it implemented successfully.

However it did get repetitive in the end due to a lack of new content and lost it's replayability. If this game had mod support it would probably still be very popular. Today we would have had incredible mods for this game such as Star Wars, 40k, C&C, WW2, etc. A lot of things would have been possible on this engine. Lots of wasted potential.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME. the psp version wasn't that good but the pc and x360 were both amasing

For a military themed RTS, TC:EW is fantastic. The graphics and detail are great and combat is very fast paced. The only real drawback is the lack of mod support because TC:EW would have been a classic if modders would have been able to create different type of infantry units and new vehicles to the game. For what it is, it is a great game that can be very addictive due to the combat.

Очень хорошая стратегия.Жаль,что в своё время не получила особого распространения.В частности из-за вышедшей раннее World in Conflict,которая ни разу не похожа на EndWar.Слишком уж разные это игры.

I love this game, because RTS are may favourite game
