Tom Clancy's EndWar invades DS, PSP on Nov. 4

Fans eager to engage in some voice-activated, real-time strategy on their favorite handheld systems ... will have little interest in the rest of this post! Ubisoft has detailed the PSP and DS versions of Tom Clancy's EndWar -- both of which launch alongside their bigger console brothers on November 4th -- and made it apparent that warmongers on the go are in for a markedly different experience.

Developed by Funatics Software, the portable pair presents "turn-based strategy with a twist," allowing simultaneous move and attack phases which render the experience as intense and authentic as real-time strategy -- it says here. Other relevant features include three campaigns, over 20 units per faction, a two-player versus multiplayer mode, a mission editor, stylus controls on the Nintendo DS and, judging by the screenshots, somewhat less realistic graphics. Who knew advanced wars could be so colorful?

This looks pretty cool. Hopefully it will turn out well

Did you guys play the EndWar demo? It got me really excited about this game. Like most I'm sure, I was pretty skeptical about how well the voice controls would work, but for me they worked like a charm.

I'm surprised they didn't find a way to wedge in at least a few simple voice commands into the DS version. It seems that they like to use the mic as much as they can, even when it's unnecessary, so to completely leave it out here seems strange.
