Summary
2011 - 2014. The world enjoys an unprecedented era of peace as enhanced defense technology eliminates the threat of nuclear war. But can it last? 2020. Constant depletion of resources has international tensions at a breaking point. One spark will ignite what no one thought could happen...a third and final world war. Strategy for the next generation: Led by creative director Michael de Plater (Rome Total War), EndWar promises to redefine strategy gaming. Designed for next-gen consoles EndWar creates a theatre of war, immersing you in the drama of World War III in a way you never thought possible. Fight For Your Nation: Pick a side US, Europe, Russia - the fate of the world is in your hands. If you don't step in to save your homeland, who will? Command Your Army: Grow your army into the most powerful force on the planet. Your army is completely customizable, and experience breeds strength - your units grow more powerful with every campaign you fight. Light Up The City of Lights: Tom Clancy's World War III won't be won by capturing remote deserts or grasslands but by striking countries in the heart. Paris, Moscow, Washington D.C. will all erupt in flames as you battle your way through the fully destructive playground. A Whole New Kind of Massive: EndWar is an online multiplayer experience unlike anything you've ever encountered. 16 player matchups? Try hundreds. 30 minute battles? Try persistent matchups lasting for months at a time. This isn't a skirmish, it's World War III. Talk Your Way to Victory: Put the controller aside and start shouting commands. EndWar can be played almost entirely via voice command. [Ubisoft]

SpazioGames
Tom Clancy's Endwar is an innovative RTS, suitable both for the genre-fan and the newbie. The gameplay is slightly more action than usual, and the closer look to the battlefield could disappoint the strategy purists, but vocal commands and great visuals make this game a must-try.
Read Full Review >Gamers.at
It appears as if the extended wait for us PC gamers paid off. The graphics are way better than on the consoles and the possibility of combining voice-control and classic PC-RTS-control enables you to act much quicker then on other platforms.
Read Full Review >Vandal Online
Tom Clancy's Endwar is a very good strategy game, a experience that no genre fan should let escape, because the sensation of having under our command such a number of troops who obey our orders is just fantastic. Its biggest problem, though, is its shallowness in strategic options in comparison with what we are used to seeing on PC.

It has a few flaws that bar it from being a breakthrough, but one can hardly find an experience any more epic as strategy games go. Commanding units in the Third World War with your voice is more thrilling than any battles in the best rts games to date. [Apr 2009]
GameZone
Tom Clancy’s EndWar is certainly not a crowning achievement for the franchise, but it works well as an RTS and may help to draw new players to the genre. Hardcore RTS fans will likely be disappointed by the game’s lack of depth, however.

Voice control redeems a simple RTS. [Apr 2009, p.80]
3DJuegos
EndWar was a very hopeful beginning for the first strategic franchise of Ubisoft in consoles, but on PC its just a solid RTS. The lack of depth prevents the game from being a great title, but its powerful online mode is a really interesting option for those who like fresh games.

EndWar is a raw diamond: Ubisoft has tried to innovate in the RTS genre with the voice control scheme but at the same time the gameplay is still very classic like any other strategy game with a general lack of tactical aspects.
Read Full Review >GameStar
The faultlessly working speech recognition of Tom Clancy's Endwar achieves its objective: you really feel like a military leader - at least for one hour, because in terms of speed and precision the human voice is still inferior to controlling the game with a mouse. The game itself resembles World of Conflict, but doesn't come close. Especially the game balance needs to be fixed.
Read Full Review >Computer Games Online RO
EndWar will most likely represent a disappointment for real time strategies fans, as it was created for a totally different market, that of “casual gamers". Because barring the voice command system and a mildly interesting multiplayer mode, EndWar unfortunately doesn’t have anything to keep you interested in long run, being more of an appetizer than the main course.

EndWar is a “fast and furious” RTS game with promising voice command but, when you remove this feature, all that is left is a standard strategy game without any originality or significant attributes. [Mar 2009]
InsideGamer.nl
EndWar is also a good game on the PC. The game looks good, the controls work as you would expect and it is fun to play. We also want to give credits to Ubisoft to do something original. However, we give the PC-version a lower grade then we did with the console-version. There are simply more RTS-games on the PC and a lot of them are better then EndWar.

For PC gamers accustomed to faster, deeper, and more exciting RTS games, EndWar will seem like a voice in the wilderness.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
While EndWar's quirky camera tricks and novel approach to unit selection may very well be functional choices on the X360, they translate very poorly to the PC and create a confusing and chaotic experience that seems to be the precise opposite of what Ubisoft Shanghai was attempting to create.

Ideal if you want to dip your toe into RTS and love the sound of your own voice.
Read Full Review >PC Zone UK
EndWar's a little too repetitive and you'll probably end up using the same basic strategy in every battle. [June 2009, p.69]
PC Format
A splendid idea hampered by an average execution and a hideously uninteresting setting.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
While the console versions are solid, the PC version of this unique strategy game is too stripped to stand out.
Read Full Review >Gamer.nl
It's going to be a hard struggle for EndWar to keep itself afloat in an overcrowded genre. With a pretty decent voice command system, the game does its best to bring something new to the table, but it won't be enough to win the war. Take away the controls and you'll find an RTS that offers to little to hold your attention.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
Most PC gamers will find the experience too dumbed down to warrant investigation. On console EndWar is good. On PC it's in over its head.
Read Full Review >Thunderbolt
Like a forgotten girlfriend, it’s not especially pretty, smart, or fun. EndWar’s simplified gameplay keeps it from being a good real time strategy game, while the mediocre combat ensures the game has few memorable moments.
Read Full Review >Absolute Games
It’s hard to expect a breakthrough game from a studio that botched half of the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
While the voice command feature is interesting, games like World in Conflict, Empire: Total War, and Company of Heroes offer far more depth and are ultimately easier to recommend.

Bajaraja S gave it a1:
This game was disappointing, but I should probably expect this by now from a Tom Clancy game. The management features are horrible, the graphics are crappy, the and the camera controls suck!! The one redeemable quality WOULD be the voice commands but even that's poorly implemented. I swear, no tactics or thought was put in this game. I'm going back to a real RTT, WiC, or CoH! All in all, Ubisoft has completely destroyed the once proud Tom Clancy title. Hell, even he doesn't want to be recognized for this crap anymore.
verace k gave it a10:
This game is an actual rts, most real time strategies consist of running in and seeing who has more forces, endwar shows that if you use tactics, it's possible to take out waves of tanks with something as simple as one unit of riflemen. I give it a 10 because of the amazing storyline depicting world war 3, the graphics it has considering it is an rts, and the playability and gameplay. It's possibly the best game I've ever played.
Ahmad H gave it a4:
If you are an experienced RTS gamer, avoid Endwar. This game has bare minimum content and bad graphics, The voice command system is flawed (I had to mess with too many settings to get it to work, and if you don't speak in a monotone voice then the game will not recognize your commands). Little effort was put into this game, while comparing it to World in Conflict. It is as many others have put it, a non-stop rock-paper-scissors match. Save your money.
