warhawk addict

I purchased the download version of WARHAWK, and if I were to do it all over again, I'd instead by the disc version. With or without bluetooth headset is up to you.

I'm absolutely addicted to this game. It's an aggressive, action-packed, and diverse third person shooter. The map selection might appear to be limited, but the multiple variations on the maps make each layout play quite differently. Plus a new map download is weeks away.

The weapon and vehicle choices are also fun. I, for one, almost never fly the Warhawk (I need more practice). I stick to the tanks, and the land mines are my weapon of choice.

The online community is alive and competitive. The servers have many games with up to 32 players. And I'm obsessed with improving my character stats on the "ranked" servers (first play user hosted unranked games for practice!). Warhawk isn't a perfect game, but it's great fun and so far, after a few months, I haven't grown bored.

But back to my first paragraph. The download version only lets your play Warhawk with the main account on your PS3, while the retail version allows all users to play. So, IF YOU AND YOUR BROTHER BOTH WANT TO PLAY and both want to keep track of your own stats, then the downloaded version is really going to DISAPPOINT you. Buy the disc version and be happy. Also, you can't re-sell the downloaded version. If you buy the disc version and hate the game, at least you can get some of your money back on the used market.

The game is loud, has lots of explosions, and nothing but fighting. No story. No master characters. Just random users across the globe doing their best to maul one another. It's great fun! I could do without the bad seeds (potty mouths, ignoramuses) in the online community, but you get that with any online game.

A must have for any Playstation 3 Owner!

I bought a playstation 3 just for this game (of course ill buy others from here on out) and I am so glad I did. I had never played online before and was worried that I might not enjoy it, but the developers made this game SO user friendly. You just keep getting better and better. An extremely fun game, definately worth the $60 bucks.

Outstanding multiplayer experience.

Wow, this game is incredible. Warhawk brings you into massive battles and lets to take part in all aspects, on foot, groud vehicles like tanks and jeeps, and EPIC air battles in the legendary Warhawks, Unlike most games were the on foot things work but once you step into a vehicle, the controls and physics all suck, Warhawk makes not only foot controls but vehicle and most of all the air controls really work, and work well. You can choose to hop into a tank and go bulldoze the enemy down, work on foot and get a sniper rifle and pick of enemies, grab a flamethrower and burn down their vehicles, take part in big gun battles between sides, jump in a jeep while a fellow team mate mans the turret on the back, jump into a flak cannon and riddle the skies with massive flak blasts to deter enemy warhawks, jump into a warhawk and scream across the battlefield bombing troops below or locking onto enemy targets and blasting away meanwhile preforming insane turns and barrel rolls to avoid enemy missiles, ALL IN THE SAME GAME!!!! I can't get over how awsome this game is and how much it lets you do in the warzones. Do yourself a favor and buy this game before you miss out on what will surley become a classic. I still am confused why there hasnt been any advertising for this game, but don't let that sway you, you will love this game absolutly.

Better than Battlefield.
Better than multi-player Halo.

Such a fun and intense game- I've been playing it in my free time for nearly a month now and I just want more.

The only downer I see is there being no story or real substance to the game- it is in it's heart a "sign in- kill stuff- repeat" type game.
The benefit of ONLY Player Characters though, is that every game will be different, so that keeps it fresh and new each time.

Great Online Game

I have bought this game at launch and I have already played it more than 20 hours. It looks like I am going to spend many more hours, so it was worth the money spent. There were some server related problems (hard to connect ranked servers and stats not updating) at the beginning but with the last patch they are mostly gone. Apart from my unfamiliarity with playing shooters with a gamepad, I have no problems with the controls at all (I don't use sixaxis). Besides, this game is more about playing it clever, rather than skillful. If you like multiplayer games and shooters, buy this game.I gave it 4 stars because of its lack of single player and/or tutorial.

Awesome game!!

I'm not the kind of guy who goes to online gaming very often. I prefer to play first the campaign or solo parts of video games and maybe later play online. That was until Warhawk. The games is awesome. I don't remember having so much fun playing a video game before. It happened since the first time I played. I really recommend this game. But there is only one warning..... is addictive, so be ready for long nights of play time.

A PlayStation Network must have

Warhawk is the best online game that you can get on the PS3 and one of the best online games I've played so far to date. This game uses dedicated servers so there is virtually no lag in game. I am currently in Germany and have played on both American and European servers with no lag issues whatsoever.

Graphically this is a very impressive game and the only thing that trumps that is the sound. Playing in 5.1 surround sound is amazing. You can hear the noise of distant battles going on, explosions going off around you, planes zooming overhead in the middle of a dogfight, all in real time. It really adds to the feeling of being in a real battle. Most offline games don't provide the experience that this game does.

Game play wise this game also excels. It is very balanced to the point that even on foot you can defend yourself against tanks, planes, etc. This makes for a very fun experience where you don't feel that you have to have the biggest guns just to compete. Also, the controls are very easy to learn and get into, which makes jumping into the game much less of a hassle. There is also a rank system that ensures that you don't have very experienced players going up against first timers. In addition to ranks there are ribbons and medals that you can earn and show off to friends. When you gain rank and experience, you also get new ways to customize your character and your planes which helps add to the uniqueness of each players character.

The only complaint I could make about this game is the current lack of a large variety of maps. There are currently only five maps available but they make up for this by being extremely well made for all modes of play whether it be sniping, flying, using vehicles, etc.

This is a very very enjoyable game that I suggest any online players try. Even if you are not into playing online, you should defiantly try this one out.

Impressive

This game is loads of fun. It is hard getting used to it a first because there is no tutorial, but you catch on fast and it has very addicting gameplay. I would definetly recommend this game for all PS3 owners. It does come with a blue-tooth headset which is pretty nice because it retails for nearly 40 bucks. The only small problems are with the online stat keeping and stuff. With a game that is strictly online play there should be no problems accurately keeping stats. Overall, the game is a blast and the graphics are impressive.

Warhawk for those who have played COD4 first

I have played COD4 since December 2007 and I have to say that it is very addictive and easy to follow. I'm now on the first prestige mode and every time I play I feel very satisfied. However, I always felt that it would have been really fun if you could fly the helicopter or drive a tank in bigger maps. That is when Warhawk comes into place to fill this big gap. Playing Warhawk for the first time can be as frustrating as playing COD4 for the first time. You get kill really fast especially if you are flying a Warhawk, which is an awesome machine that requires you to build some flying skill before you can do something productive. You have to understand that everything in Warhawk is about how much experience you have and how skillful you are as opposed to COD4 where the learning cure is not as high. On the other hand, on foot combat is not as developed as in COD4, where you can chose from lots of weapons and perk combinations. Warhawk on foot combat is limited to a few weapons which are really powerful and fun to use, but not as detailed focus as in COD4. However, flying and driving on Warhawk compensates for that. Another, fascinating part of Warhawk is the type of awards you get during combat. Besides the usual rank levels you can get medals, badges and ribbons, all at different level and of different types. This is really awesome to look at when you are reviewing your personal profile. My final advice would be if you are looking for an instant let's shoot at anything that moves fast and quick shooter then you should stick with COD4, but if you are looking for a challenging online multiplayer game where you have to build skills and learn in order to get the most out of the game then Warhawk is for you!
