* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus seems to be that while it's gameplay can be addictive, it's otherwise a basic real-time strategy game that introduces few new features and takes little advantage of the story driving the single-player campaign.


Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: The PSP and DS versions are pretty much Tom Clancy meets ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]]''.

** The technology of the setting is generally much more advanced than actually turned out to be developed. There is no missile shield, no military super-space station, laser weapons are still in the experimental phase, the US and Russia still mostly use variants of the M1 Abrams and T-90, and so on.

** It is 2022 and Russia has invaded Ukraine during a global pandemic, putting the world at high alert and pitting NATO against the Russian Federation. People in Russia are protesting to end the war and Putin has demanded that his nuclear threat response division remain on high alert. Looks like the game was only 2 years off when it came to conflict with Russia!

* Sequelitis: Far less people enjoyed Endwar Online compared to the first game. See the ContestedSequel part on this page for reasons why.

* {{SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome}}: The architecture of certain locations is stunning. The destruction caused by the warring armies is surprisingly detailed for its day. The [[WeaponofMassDestruction WMDs]] create awesome effects in their own right.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Several aspects of the game's 2020 setting are based around assumptions that, as of the real 2020, turned out to be false.
** The technology of the setting is generally much more advanced than actually turned out to be developed. There is no missile shield, no military super-space station, laser weapons are still in the experimental phase, the US and Russia still mostly use variants of the M1 Abrams and T-90, and so on.
** A UnitedEurope, while still a plausible development, did not occur and is now much more unlikely due to the rise of both nationalist and left-wing "Eurosceptic" political parties in European countries.
** While relations between Russia and the West continued to deteriorate, Russia never became extremely powerful as the result of it becoming the world's leading energy supplier. Rather, the shale oil and gas boom in the United States resulted in ''America'' becoming the world's largest oil producer by 2020, with Russia's energy-reliant economy struggling due to the supply glut.
** There was no nuclear war in the Middle East. Though the Middle East/North Africa region was incredibly unstable throughout most of the 2010s (with Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq all falling into civil war, and many other countries experiencing mass protests, coups, and revolutions), it never collapsed into full anarchy, and by the end of the decade Israel remained the region's only nuclear power.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: One of the primary criticisms of Endwar was that the developers squandered an opportunity to expand on the in-game story, or at least flesh it out.
