Empire Online: Tom Clancy's Endwar Review

As a console RTS the game is also perfectly pitched as it offers short, fireworks-heavy bursts of action that will appeal to PS3 and Xbox 360 players with more jittery attention spans than their PC counterparts, and the in-game camera is also more immersive as it takes you right into the heart of battle rather than being restricted to an aerial view. However, once the excitement of the game's fresh interface and glossy presentation wears off, it soon becomes clear that EndWar is a rather pedestrian RTS, the game's achievements undermined by simplistic skirmishes where the units' paper-rock-scissors relationships make for shallow warfare, while the poor storytelling and lack of Tom Clancy pizzazz do little to make you feel like you're part of a global campaign. 4/5
