Endwar is definitely a very exciting title to play regardless if you decide to take full advantage of the voice control or stick to the more conservative way of commanding troops. It's a fast paced strategy game that succeeds in diverting the attention from the shallow storyline and repetitive missions and makes the entire gaming experience enjoyable, especially in multiplayer. Unfortunately the differences between the three rival factions are negligible and it's not very much left to discover once you complete the campaign with one nation.

Das Warten hat sich für PC-Spieler letztendlich gelohnt, denn EndWar spielt sich dank besserer Technik und kombinierten Steuerungsmöglichkeiten etwas flotter als auf den anderen Plattformen. Aber anders als Konsolenspieler werden sich PC-Strategen nicht allzu lange mit der prinzipiell gut funktionierenden Sprachsteuerung abmühen, wodurch das einzigartige Feature zu einem netten, aber überflüssigen Gimmick wird. Rein vom spielerischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet gibt's wenig zu bemängeln - vor allem dann, wenn man in den Online-Gefechten um die globale Vorherrschaft kämpft.

Having only two winning conditions tends to get repetitive after a while and it is probably the game’s only real weakness. I experienced some feeling of deja-vu because of a limited number of maps. The overall campaign map is divided into sectors, each offering only a single map to play on. Sectors are heavily contended, causing you to return to some maps numerous times either to conquer or defend it.

Initialement taillé pour les consoles de salon, EndWar n'a pas trop souffert de son passage sur PC. Le titre est immersif, profite d'une plastique agréable et offre un gameplay accessible, que l'on s'en tienne au combo clavier/souris ou que l'on choisisse d'utiliser le système de commande vocale. Intéressant en solo, il prend une toute autre dimension en multijoueur grâce à son mode Théâtre de Guerre accrocheur. Au fond, le seul véritable problème d'EndWar ne vient pas du jeu en lui-même, mais plutôt du paysage vidéoludique ambiant. Sur console, EndWar fait figure de Roll's Royce, mais sur PC, il se perd un peu sous une masse de STR à la fois plus riches et plus jolis à regarder. Reste un jeu intéressant qui plaira aux joueurs désireux de se prendre pour un général en campagne sans avoir pour autant à se perdre sous des tonnes de paramètres différents.

While EndWar seemed fairly advanced for a console game, it's easily lost in the crowded and competitive RTS field found on the PC. This is also a game that revolves around its voice command system, which is necessary for a console game but relatively worthless on the PC. For PC gamers accustomed to faster, deeper, and more exciting RTS games, EndWar will seem like a voice in the wilderness.

De stemcommandofeature van EndWar is uniek in het RTS-genre en ook in het spel zelf is het veruit het hoogtepunt. Haal het weg en je blijft achter met een leuk, maar soms te simpel spel dat amper anders is dan al die andere strategiegames op pc. En hoewel de hardcore strategen het misschien niet complex genoeg vinden, kent het toch wel een aantal leuke speltypes en een degelijke campagne. Nu nog hopen dat het ook online van de grond raakt.

EndWar ontketent, ondanks de supercoole en uitstekende stembesturing, niet de RTS-revolutie waarop we gehoopt hadden.

Ogólnie „EndWar” jest grą dość ciekawą, ale trapioną poważnymi problemami. Niewygodna perspektywa psuje tutaj przyjemność z zabawy, która mogłaby być naprawdę spora, zwłaszcza w trybie wieloosobowym. System rozpoznawania mowy jest, ale chyba jako akcent humorystyczny, bo jedyne co potrafi, to rozśmieszyć do łez swoimi interpretacjami wypowiadanych rozkazów. Poza tym brak fabuły w singlu oraz dość zwyczajna oprawa techniczna sprawiają, że niestety nie mogę „EndWar” polecić. Chętnych do wzięcia udziału w III wojnie światowej - czy to samotnego, czy też wieloosobowego - zapraszam do o wiele lepszego „World in Conflict”.

EndWar's voice command mechanic makes it unique among strategy games, and it's this innovation that stands out above all of its other features. Strip it away, and you'll find an RTS game that can be fun but is ultimately too simple to stand out in a crowded genre. But even if strategy veterans won't find all the complexities they'd expect, there's something to be said for EndWar's smart match types and persistent campaign. Hopefully as its community grows, so too will the game's long-term possibilities.
