Tom Clancy's EndWar Coming To DS, PSP

Does the concept of Tom Clancy's EndWar's real-time tactical combat scare you? Are you intrigued by the story but scared of the immediacy of real-time? Well then perhaps the newly-announced handheld versions of the game are for you. Shipping on November 4th alongside their console big brothers, Tom Clancy's EndWar for the PSP and Nintendo DS contain all the thrill of the conflict between the U.S. Joint Strike Force, European Enforcers Corps and Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade in a turn-based strategy game...with a twist. Instead of each side taking turns, each declare their actions which are then carried out simultaneously. It sounds like a lovely compromise between real-time and turn-based, really. Each version will feature three separate campaigns with over 30 scenarios each, two-player multiplayer with 100 ready-to-play scenarios, and a mission editor to create and share your own battlefields. An absolutely huge slice of Clancy-flavored strategy, coming to the PSP and DS next month.Ubisoft Announces Tom Clancy's Endwar TM for Handhelds SAN FRANCISCO - OCTOBER 20, 2008 - Today Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy's EndWar™ will be released for the Nintendo DS™ system and the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system.
