14 DAY TRIAL // Tom Clancy's EndWar is shaping up to be a very interesting game. Set in the futuristic World War III, the game puts you in the shoes of an army general who commands his units through the battlefield engaging the enemy in different locations. Sounds pretty standard up until now, right? Well, the main attraction of this title, which differentiates it from other strategy ones, is the fact that you can command your units using your voice. Through the Xbox 360 headset, or the one provided for the PlayStation 3, you can order your units around the battlefield without pressing any buttons.
The game, based on the novel with the same name, will hit the shelves of major stores on November 4 for the United States, Europeans getting their hands on it on November 7. Recently, Ubisoft have just announced that the Xbox 360 demo is now up for download on the Live Marketplace. Although it contains one map, playable in both singleplayer and 1 on 1 multiplayer mode, it occupies a hefty 1.6 GB of space, so you'd better start deleting some of those old games if you don't have enough disk space. Also, it is only available for users who have Gold Live Membership, meaning that the rest of us Silver account owners will have to wait until the final game launches.
"Experience World War III in your living room with Tom Clancy’s EndWar™, a revolutionary new war game built to maximize next-generation gaming consoles and completely controllable by voice. This demo includes one map playable in both single-player and 1 versus 1 multiplayer. English, French and Spanish are supported," reads the official announcement from Microsoft community manager, MajorNelson.
It definitely is a good idea that Ubisoft launched this demo so soon, as a lot of players want to see how the voice commands behave with their individual voice. Seeing as how it also has a very interesting story, all that is left for us to do is start downloading the big demo and try our own voices at this very promising title.
PC players still need to wait for an indefinite amount of time as their specific version is still under development at Ubisoft, mainly because they want to fight the piracy on this platform.
