Product ReviewsTom Clancy's H.A.W.X (PC, 2009)

H.A.W.X - PC DVD

Wow, this game is so much more refined then the demo version ! The graphic engine has lots of advanced options with ambient occlusion supported and running very smooth on a 8800GT (512mb), most settings set to high. The gameplay is very exciting if you enjoy air combat games, with a joystick its also a much better experience, although you will not see force feedback support. There is voice command support tho, for those using ear phones with a mic. Has online multiplayer and co-op support (yet to play), can't ask for much more in terms of extended play features (without having available tools to design your own missions) Cheap to buy also ! I'm a big fan of Ubisoft games, I recommend this one as an addition to anyone's collection, make sure you run a decent gfx card though, that totally increases the games effect. Enjoy !Read full review...

Finally, a decent flight game for PC

The PC has had all manner of flight sims, but only consoles have gotten a decent list of more arcade-like non-sim flight games. Sure, we've had Blazing Angels and other similar attempts, but these have been hampered by bugs and somewhat-outdated engines. HAWX enters in as an Ace Combat-style modern flight game for the PC.

Gameplay is similar to Ace Combat with a few additions, including the highly-maneuverable Assistance-Off mode. Mission goals generally consist of attacking and defending air, ground and sea units with the occasional aerial obstacle course thrown in to spice things up.

Graphics are gorgeous. The game utilizes satellite photography to reconstruct real-world locations. At cruising altitude, the game looks astonishing, especially with it's beautiful volumetric clouds. During low-altitude strafing runs, the illusion begins to waver a bit. Still, it's overall a definite looker.

Sound is pretty solid. We have the traditional array of engine roar, missile launches and gunfire backed by a solid-if-unremarkable orchestral score of the "flight sim" genre. Voice acting is also solid but not terribly memorable.

The plot is where the game starts to show some weakness. If you're hoping for an AC4- or AC5-style story of striking characters, daring heroism and the many facets of war, you'll be disappointed. HAWX's story is set in the present-day real world. The factions aren't "good" and "evil" as much as "American" and "evil nameless faceless corporation." The bad guys are bad because SOMEBODY has to be otherwise there'd be no conflict. Overall, the story is rather bland and a bit disappointing, especially coming for a Tom Clancy games.

I haven't toyed too much with the multiplayer, but what I've seen has been great. There's an awesome ranking system that places you against pilots of similar skill level. There's also a nice set of achievements that meshes quite well with the leveling system.

Overall, if you're a fan of Ace Combat and you have a capable PC, this game is definitely worth the money. Bonus points for force-feedback joysticks =)Read full review...

MODERN AIR COMBAT

Nice game from ubisoft,I have had trouble playing online with with pc games in the past,It turns out it was becouse of the dsl motem I was using,now I have comcast and no problems playing online,this pc game is exiting and will keep you on the edge of your seat,some of the campains are hard,and im running it on normal mode,some of the missiles have onboard camera to veiw from the missile while its flying,which is cool but you could crash your plane if your watching the missile camera and your airplane is heading to the ground,alot of the weapons packs and airplanes are locked,you have to earn them,this gives the ones with the better planes and weapons an unfair advantage against a newby,There is an option to play based on rank which would even things up a bit,this also has assistance mode which gives you more of a 3d type view against your opponents,and gives you a slight advantage in this mode,personally I don't use it,I love the multi strike missiles,you can lock on and shoot up to 4 targets at once,I never really got into Tom Clancy's games before but this won flies well with me,Its worth the money and you wont get bored of playing it for along time,,,see you all in the air,,genosun1.Read full review...

Amaazing game, highly recommend!

I purchased this game for the sheer amount of flyable aircraft and the detail they put into the game. The environments are stunning and the aircraft models are nearly flawless. The game play is fast and furious, more arcade than simulator, but fun nonetheless. If you buy this game don't expect to get a pure flight simulator, but also don't let this dissuade you from the purchase. Overall it is a fun game with a very solid multi-player aspect. Replay value is high because of the amount of aircraft and the multi-player options.Read full review...

Tom Clancey's HAWX

The game is great. Graphics are so real you think your really there. You'll get into the game like you're really in the plane. The actions and reactions of the planes are just like the real thing. I would recomend this to anyone and everyone that loves action games. It's full of that. There isn't very many flying action games out there but this is by far the best one i've ever done. I hope the put out another shortly.Read full review...

Sry I did.........

Cant say much about this game but from what I played in the demo ps3 version im sure the computer game should be equally as awesome. I havent or probably won't get a chance to play the computer game but I highly recommend it if computer games is your thing, and your use to using the keyboard as your controls......but would suggest buying a usb controller for optimal gaming experienceRead full review...

Verified purchase:  Yes | Condition: pre-owned | Sold by: lpanep1

Very nice!

Excelent flight simulator game. Good multiplayer. The bad thing it finishs so quick. There are many kinds of planes, like F-22, F-35 and the stealth F-117. You can choose the plane and the weapons.>
There are also many achievements to conquer. With them, your earn XP points that release new weapons and planes. There are so much challenges to many and many hours of flight!

Fasten your seat belt!Read full review...
