Title: Calling All Fighter Pilots
Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on April 22, 2009, 07:34:04 AM
Anyone interested in getting this game?

After looking over the official website take a look at this gameplay footage

Then take a look at the newly added European Attack DLC

I was vaguely interested when I first heard of it, but it didn't get very favorable reviews (70 on metacritic) so my interest has waned.  When it gets cheaper I might be more interested if there's an active multiplayer community.

1UP
The online play -- particularly co-op -- gives HAWX significant replayability. Everything from the picture-perfect planes to the stunning real world environments looks great, even after multiple passes.

Boomtown
There are mutliplayer modes which should keep you coming back to this title for a while.

IGN
As it is the mission design is lacking, the combat is unimaginative, and the multiplayer is shallow. Still, there are plenty who will be able to enjoy soaring 40,000 feet above the earth destroying dozens of enemy planes.

The timing of the latest Zero Punctuation review couldn't be better.  He was actually pretty positive about it, which is pretty damn rare!

Yep its available for the PC. I will let you know about the views. My xbox 360 copy will be in Friday. I will be out of work next week recovering from surgery. So I will have lots of time to play. I will give my own review and let everyone know.

Ok i checked out the demo last night and this game is freakin awesome. I am not a big fan of flight games but i must say this is damn good. I played it with a xbox 360 game pad and had a lot of fun.

Here is a link to the demo so you can try it out.
