TVG: Tom Clancy's EndWar DS Review

TVG writes: "The Tom Clancy name gets used a lot these days by Ubisoft, and you'd be forgiven for thinking that Tom Clancy's EndWar will be yet another tactical squad based first person shooter. The big home versions of EndWar are actually real time strategy games. However, Funatics Software, the developers behind this DS iteration of the game, have opted to totally ditch what the home console versions are about and have done their own turn based interpretation of the EndWar title.

EndWar is set after the year 2025. The increasing threat of nuclear war coupled with an escalating energy crisis has seen America, Europe and Russia emerge as three of the world's military super powers. After choosing your side, you get to fight in the war torn regions of Northern Europe, North America and the Middle East."

Pros

* Reliable voice command system.
* Strong immersion.
* Persistent online warfare.

Cons

* Friendly AI could be improved.
* Relies heavily on voice system for immersion.
* Too stripped down for RTS hardcore.
