If you ever wanted a RTS WITHOUT strategy, then this game is for you. Really, EndWar is just that.
Well, now about EndWar. Man, the hype of this game made me(and not only me?) drool months before the release date was even announced. Having already played CoH and WiC I thought that EndWar will be a mix of the two plus the mind blowing Voice Control. But boy, I was wrong. Ever had this nightmare where you don't have ANY control over tactics and strategies of your units in a RTS game? Well, this is EndWar baby. The only thing you do in this game is control the movement of the units on the map and the attack/don't attack feature with your voice. THAT'S IT!!! THAT IS IT!!!
You don't build a base, you don't have to think what reinforcements you should spend your points on, you don't have to think WHICH TYPE of units you should send against a specific enemy, hell, you don't even need a brain to play this game. Seriously! ALL YOU DO IN THIS GAME IS VOICE POINTING WHICH ENEMY YOUR UNIT SHOULD ATTACK! THAT'S ALL!!!!!!! Any unit of yours can kill an enemy unit, you don't capture strategic points that provide you with resources with which you can expand or create new units. Your units just attack the enemy and simple shoot at the enemy units for minutes just to destroy a tank. I mean, WHERE in a game have you seen a helicopter shooting missiles for 3 minutes against a single tank? I MEAN WTF??? I don't have words to describe this stuff. No! Wrong, it's bullcrap!!! You get also a click-to-move option for your units but that's just the same as voice control. Infantry has no special abilities, cannot hide in buildings or run, tanks and helicopters only attack with one attack option and don't have any abilities either. Physics are non existent. Tanks pass through walls, infantry DOESN'T get blown to bits and helis fly through buildings. Wow, that was long. Can't believe I wasted 10 minutes writing this. Bottomline: Over-mega-ultra hyped game, NO INNOVATION, NO CONTROL, NO CORE ELEMENTS OF A RTS GAME! I am sorry I didn't pirate this game. Have a nice day, play World In Conflict or Company of Heroes, REAL RTS games.
