*Quote:
*/Tom Clancy's Endwar does show that it's possible to do RTS on a
console, it's just that Ubisoft has achieved it by stripping out many of
the things that make RTSes what they are. That's a bit like taking an F1
car and making it street legal by replacing the engine with one from a
Mini Metro. Sure, it's still theoretically an F1 car, but it's not very
exciting to drive.

And that's the real problem with Tom Clancy's Endwar: in making an RTS
accessible to console gamers by using speech recognition, Ubisoft has
ended up creating a game that has many of the features of an RTS, just
without much of the fun and excitement.

That's not to say that Ubisoft has failed completely -- it hasn't, and
Tom Clancy's Endwar is still a fun game when judged on its own merits --
it's just that the developer has fallen short of making the definitive
console RTS.

It's a good start, though, and we look forward to seeing where Ubisoft
Shanghai can go from here./*

*Cheers guys!
