 Great Game with Minimal Limitations November 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had just recently bought a PS3 and had been reviewing websites for the best games for the system. I saw Warhawk multiple times and downloaded the demo as soon as they released it. I couldn't get enough! The demo only allows you to play one version of one map and only in one game mode: Capture the flag. I played that demo for hours and hours and had so much fun I decided I had to buy the full game.
Pros:
1- Beautiful game - great aesthetics.
2- Very enjoyable vehicles (I haven't been too big a fan of the Halo 1-2 vehicles, though I haven't played Halo 3).
3- Online multiplayer keeps every game interesting.
4- Up to 4 player split screen on one console/TV (I haven't tried it but I'm very happy they included this feature).
5- Great weapon variety and balance (though I agree with another reviewer that it is annoying to be gunning someone down with automatic fire only to have them close the distance and cut you down in one swipe with their combat knife).
6- Tons of customization options for your player and Warhawk.
7- Tons of rank advancements, medals, and awards to keep you striving to try new things.
8- An aim-assist feature helps compensate a bit for the frustrating precision limitations inherent to console gaming (compared to mouse aiming on a PC).
9- The Warhawks themselves represent an entire new game in and of themselves - there is so much you can do with them that even if you become a master at ground tactics you can still get slaughtered in the air unless you hone those skills as well.
10- The game provides lots of opportunities (mostly linked to the vehicles) for excellent collaborative teamwork.
Cons:
1- Some of the levels are so massive (on certain gameplay settings) that even with 32 players it can seem impossible to ever break a CTF stalemate.
2- The assault rifle needs to be more powerful at close range to avoid the annoying scenario I described above (I think it might actually get more powerful at close range but not enough, IMO).
3- The Anti-Air flak guns need to be more powerful - they are very difficult to use meaningfully unless the sky is swarming with Warhawks, in which case you can shoot anywhere and hit something (but you'll also probably be blown up before you manage to shoot anyone down).
4- The tank often feels like it's not strong enough - it's a tank for crying out loud! But if you get 2-3 enemy soldiers throwing grenades you can be toast in like 2 seconds. I guess they couldn't make it too powerful but it also feels like it provides a false sense of security and that you might as well hop in a 4x4 unless you need the firepower.
5- The weapons switching system is awkward at first but you'll quickly get the hang of it.
Overall, I find this game tremendously enjoyable. You should definitely download the demo and give it a whirl - but be warned, you'll get hooked.

Although this game was introduced at launch, I have recently purchased it and I am addicted. It is just fun even if your skill set is week like mine.
Fun versatile war game. November 20, 2008

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.

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....

The most addictive game you will ever play November 9, 2008

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 :-)
