This is a great air combat sim that I have been playing for years. With all air combat games it is best played with a quality joystick such as the Microsoft Sidewinder joystick available used for about $10. I have been using a sidewinder for 20years and it is still going strong.

This is the first game I've bought and played for years. I was keen to have a go, but before you can start playing you have to get it all loaded on the PC. By the time I'd installed, registered online, entered the code, then waited for it to download and reinstall an update about 1 1/2 hours had...

Allot of fun to play and the CoOp feature is great - you can have a friend pop in and out at any time during a mission or a campaign and help you out, no matter where they are in their own single player campaign.

Lots of planes to choose from and all handle differently; Looks really really good with DX10.1 and all settings maxed at 1080p resolution.

Fun game really; Lots of planes to pick from; Assistance off mode adds enjoyment

Graphics are bland; Storyline is bland as well; Missions can get annoying and monotonous at times; Online play needs some work

Good Terrain; Playable on most video cards; Controls easy to learn; anybody can fly; Variety of game types; Co-op Campaign; Experience unlocks weapons and planes

Dogfights very repetitive; Small multiplayer community; Bland campaign; Missions repetitive

Tom Clancys HAWX from Ubisofts Romania Studio puts the player in the cockpit of the latest fighter jets to create a high octane flight experience with plenty of tricks to separate it from the masses.

has led our expectations a merry dance indeed from early footage to retail release. When the first batch of screens broke cloud cover many people, myself included, wrote the game off as a well turned-out but unremarkable flight sim.

Im Duell gegen Ace Combat 6 gewinnt HAWX durch den Gesamteindruck. Wenn man aber nur den Singelplayer betrachtet hat Ace Combat wiederum die Nase vorn. Aber gerade durch solch geniale Gameplayelemente wie den OFF-Modus wird HAWX zur Referenz der Flugzeugspiele auf den Konsolen.
