 Fun versatile war game. November 20, 2008
Kensuke Nakamura (Nashville)
This game is awesome! It is beautiful and fun and quirky. It's definitely chosen style over realism and it works.
The overall feel is idealized retro-army, like sky captain only way better. Though the weapons and vehicles are high tech , the look is updated WWII. The characters proportions and movements are cartoony and fun, almost like if Scooby and shaggy were drafted and battle-hardened.
The vehicles control great. The Warhawk is very reponsive and agile. Movement is really smooth whether on foot or in a vehicle. It takes 2 seconds to jump into a plane and take off, landing takes a little more care but is nothing when compared with other games. The warhawk is durable as far as running into terrain goes so feel free to live out your X-wing fantasy of flying through caves and valleys and weaving between buildings.
The gameplay is fast paced and extremely well balanced, weapons and vehicles are plentiful. Warhawks bullying troops can easily be taken out with rockets or even well placed grenades, tanks can deal some damage but have a hard time taking out planes, flame throwers beat tanks, jeeps are agile but not well armored and so on.
There are many varied approaches you can take whether you like to use sniper rifles or air strikes to engage at a distance or plow right in with a tank or run and gun in a Jeep.
Some reviews didn't think highly of the graphics but I think they're gorgeous. The draw distance is long and the atmosphere is beautiful, especially the tropical archipelago. Explosions look great close up but off in the distance they really give you a great sense of scale.
Everything you see on screen is backed up with distinct sounds which can be great audio cues for when to run or take cover. if you have surround sound you really feel like you're in the thick of it.
More than anything Warhawk is fun and fast paced. Warhawk is a "G. I. Joe" in a game genre filled with "Saving Private Ryan".
Expansion pack update:
The added weapons are all welcome and help the game.
Generally the expansion packs are great and each change the way the game plays, enhancing the original levels.
Omega Dawn: The Omega Factory is awesome and a nice change of scenery. It's large and has many levels. Great for CTF. The dropship is pretty nice but really requires a level of cooperation you don't usually find on warhawk to use it to it's full potential.
Broken mirror: The glacier is again a nice change of scenery, but not one of my favorite layouts. The APC is great, it's nice to be able to spawn in the middle of battle and random weapon. THe bubble shield adds another dimension to base capture.
Fallen Star: Tau crater is a nice dense level with alot of varied terrain. The battle is relatively close quarter because of how much smaller the level is, and the trees and terrain discourage long range attacks. The jetpack is the biggest change to happen to warhawk since it's original release and it is awesome. It adds extra dimension to previous levels. Being able to bail out of planes is long overdue, and the pace of gameplay becomes much faster. Previously unused area of the game become active. Being able to traverse faster makes the game much more fluid.
BEST MULTIPLAYER GAME OF THE PRESENT November 20, 2008
Juan A. Hernandez (Caracas Venezuela)
If your looking for a great multiplayer experience this is it!!!
You'll need time limits, because if you dont, you'll be suprise by the early sun on a wenesday morning telling yourself how could you be so crazy to play from 9 pm to 6 am and then go to work.
Other than that.... You will have so much fun and along your progress you'll see how crazy the people are in multiplayer games.
Dont miss out....
ENJOY
The most addictive game you will ever play November 9, 2008
Chadi El Refaei (Dubai)
I am one of these guys who has been away from the video game scene since the Nintendo 64 days, well I bought a ps3 and about 30 games in almost one month including this one and now I almost never leave the house, I am even avoiding my girlfriend just to sit at home and play this game , insane action, in my opinion the multi-player mode is much much better than campaign mode for the simple reason that every game is different. You have the option of being a foot soldier, driving a jeep, tank or flying a warhawk, You have so many different weapons to choose from, playing this game is a real adrenaline rush, I've been playing this for a few months on a daily basis and I still feel like a beginner, I don't think I'll ever get sick of playing this game. The graphics are amazing so is the sound. I only wish more players had headsets.
I advice newbies to join the rookie rooms and stay away from the rooms that allow higher rank players to join so you don't get put off the game by being killed all the time, once you learn your way around and start ranking up you will be playing harder games with more skilled players, it gets tough but every game is a learning experience.
If you don't own this go out and get it now, you have no idea what you are missing :-)
 Incredible online play October 14, 2008
Curtis (Burtonsville, MD USA)
Online play in Warhawk is amazing. You can play as a ground troop, operate vehicles and fire vehicle mounted weapons, and fly planes and jetpacks. The only downside is that there is no single player campaign mode.
Warhawk is Awesome September 4, 2008
John Gonzalez (Hartford, CT)
All I have to say is that Warhawk is an Awesome online experience that no one should pass on. Flying the aircrafts will take a bit of time to get used to, but once you can controll that puppy, its one crazy nice experience. You have so much to do, so many weapons, aircraft busters, jeeps with turrets. Its so much fun, I finally put down Halo 3 for a while to just play this. And for $30 (without the headset) its a bargain. Get it now!
