Endwar won't suffer from regional dialect issues

Videogamer writes: " Test teams in Romania, China and Montreal will help avoid BBC Brain Training farce.

Ubisoft has reassured gamers that upcoming voice command strategy game Tom Clancy's EndWar won't suffer from the voice recognition problems that led to a BBC investigation into the DS and UK regional dialects.

In February this year Nintendo came under fire following a BBC Watchdog programme which told of Manchester-based Michelle Livesey's struggles with Dr Kawashima's Brain Training.

In the programme Michelle said: "Basically you have to say the different colours that flash up on the screen as quickly as possible. I'm saying, blue, blue, blue and it's saying no, even though it was blue. Then it got to yellow. I'm going, 'yeller' and everyone's saying to me you need to be a bit posher. You need to say, 'yellow' and as soon as I did, it picked it up.'"
