Summary
It's war, folks, but not as we know it.
We spend all our lives worrying about when it was actually going to happen and then one sunny Spring afternoon Ubisoft went and casually announced it with Tom Clancy's EndWar! Doesn't really seem such a big deal, this World War Three after all!
Except the title 'EndWar' seems to suggest otherwise. Getting amongst it at the end of the world are three factions to play as: U.S. Joint Strike Force, European Enforcers and Russian Spetsnaz. Yup, them pesky Russians. Russia makes a return to the status of Big Bad in EndWar, as quadrupled oil prices elevate it back to the status of superpower.
Ubisoft plans to put you right in amongst it, too. Ditching the traditional, top-down view of other real time strategy games, EndWar sticks you in the thick of it with a third-person floating camera. You'll be at ground zero as hundreds of units do battle on fully destructible battlefields.
What really makes EndWar stand out, however, is its voice control system. Using intuitive menus, you'll be able to command your units without ever touching a controller.
Throw in a persistent online multi-player campaign with massively customisable units featuring cutting edge technology, and Ubisoft have given you something worth fighting for.
