Tom Clancy's EndWar in the house....sorta

02/07/08 2:46 pm | #1

Was trolling around the books at Giant Eagle today and noticed that Tom Clancy's EndWar was out in paperback. Considering the success of the Splinter Cell books, and being a massive Clancy book fan anyways, I went ahead and purchased it. The book is around 400 pages long, and is written by the Splinter Cell author David Michaels. I plan to dive into this over the weekend while I am freezing my arse off in Chi-Town. I'm hoping the book will shed some light on the basics of the EndWar game. One humorous note (albeit a probable foreshadowing moment), on the back of the book it states "Based on Ubisoft's bestselling game, Tom Clancy's EndWar".

Check out images of the book covers (with my crappy camera phone) in the NEWS article.

So how do you like it so far, or perhaps you finished it already? I read the book in one day staying up til about 2:30am. Got to tell you I really think Endwar the game will rock.

I have gotten through about a quarter of the book and it is well written. very much in the model of how the Splinter Cell books progress. It has kept me engaged and wanting to turn the page...

Here are some cool pics from the game:

This won't be your typical RTS, that's the ground 3rd person view you'll have similar to GRAW's and you'll command your units easily via voice commands.

How do you like the hi-tech weapons? For me his accuracy was going to be a critical issue which is why I posted those questions to the author here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8911019745/m/5661099426

Most everything Fiction with Clancy's name on it were written by someone else. He wrote the RyanVerse novels (Based on Jack Ryan or Jack Ryan's son), SSN and co-wrote Red Storm Rising. He also wrote about a dozen Non-Fiction titles.

All the other series including Op-Center, NetForce, Power Plays, Splinter Cell and now EndWar were conceived/branded as Tom Clancy books, but written by others.

So A1zapa, are you logged/registered in the Endwar forums? I don't think I've seen you around unless you go by a different name.

I am registered in those forums, but I never post I just read the posts. I check them every day or so.

EDIT: here is 5 ingame screens taken from the endwar forums. What do you guys think? I think the HUD looks a little lame. but the game looks ROCKEN!
