How Mario Kart Shaped Tom Clancy's EndWar

Shacknews writes: "Tom Clancy's EndWar plays a bit like a voice-controlled version of World in Conflict. And like World in Conflict, it features an assortment of weapons of mass destruction.

In speaking with Ubisoft representative Julian Gerighty, I learned that the development team turned to an unlikely source of inspiration for WMD usage in their real-world RTS: Nintendo's Mario Kart.

"One of the big, big cheeses at Ubisoft is called Serge Hascoet," explained Gerighty. "He's the guy behind Rayman, he's the guy behind hundreds of things. He's a very creative guy, and a little crazy." (Mario Kart Wii, PS3, Tom Clancy’s EndWar, Wii, Xbox 360)
