Exciting game, a lot of different themes and adventures, it really pumps your adrenaline. It's kind of difficult to learn to move around but ones you learn you have a hold new world in front of you.

blew my mind !!!!!

I have played video games for decades now, I mean I basically got started with Pong on Atari, and by now tend to know my way around games quite well, or so I thought. Anyway, I personally tend to favor FPS and for me COD4 was simply as good as it could get, I actually got quite good at it.

I must admit I had never before played online, and also hadn't realized this game was online only. So I buy the thing, stick it in the PS3 and suddenly realize there is no single player option. So I say, well what the hell, I already bought the game, might as well give it a go, so I go online, and the next thing I know is that I'm suddenly a foot soldier in the middle of, well, how can I put this ... chaos, mayhem, Armageddon. all I could see were things being blowing up, soldiers running around all over the place, shooting each other, planes flying low firing missiles, machine guns, jamming jeeps or people, dropping bombs, grenades going off, tanks firing all over the place it was INSANE !!!!!!! So there I was, dazzled by all this, and basically just sitting there taking it all in when suddenly someone runs up to me and knifes me, and kills me !!!!! less than 30 seconds had gone by, and I was dead, I couldn't believe it !!!!. So there I was sitting on my sofa, my mind stunned by the apocalyptic scene I had seen, and by the fact I could do nothing to prevent from getting killed.

I mean, it's honestly not an easy game to master, for example the teams are the are reds and blues, and at that point I didn't even know what color I was. At around the nth iteration of me being killed in seconds, I got the hang of first selecting newbie games, which of course is where one should start playing, and then went for some online help as to how to learn to play this game, which in all reality generally just goes as far as saying it's just a matter of time and practice, and truthfully it is.

After about two hours and some no small degree of frustration I started to get the hang of it, and quite frankly have become addicted, and not all that bad at it either. This game feels like a real battle, not that I've ever been in one nor would want to be in one, but the reality of it all is simply amazing.

Being able to interact with other people, honk the horn and someone jumps on the jeeps turret, people jump around when you capture a flag, gang up and go attack the other team's HQ. It's simply unbelievable, the graphics are amazing, it's absolutely real time, no lags, the strategy and game play options are pretty much limitless. You can just hang back and defend, go fully offensive, snipe from somewhere well hidden, go about mine laying, or just slug it out for control of a small plot of land.

I have never ever in my long years played anything remotely like this, the interaction, the realism, the fact that it's real people you're going up against (probably all much younger than me though) just makes it mind blowing. I've actually had to set myself strict time limits for this game, I mean I do have a real life I must see to after all. But every spare half hour I've had the last four weeks I've played Warhawk. Oh and flying that Warhawk is just amazing, what a machine, well it does get some getting used to, and some is quite an understatement, you really need to get some hours in that cockpit before you're any good, and not get blown to pieces after 10 seconds in the thing.

Tanks are awesome, great firepower, from a distance you can make some pretty good damage and up close, if you're quick enough and aim well you can take out pretty much anything, Warhawks, ground infantry (you can actually just run them over), turrets, the lot. 4x4's are quick, nimble, great for having a go at a flag or controlling zones, and you can take two more with you which is really handy against more than one enemy.

This is sincerely the best game I have ever played, by far, and more than half the fun is the fact that your opponents and accomplices are real humans, not just dumb AI's. I mean even if it's kids, who cares, they are good at this and you help them out, and they help you out and it's all for the team. What is also amazing is that you can actually have one on one battles while all hell is breaking loose. At some point I was being spawned on some zone my team held, but a sniper was getting me all the time (probably some preteen little bastard), he must have killed me at least six times the same way (hey I was learning to play), so somehow I managed to get away, to sneak up on him and then oh so enjoyed getting back at him with my knife, next thing I know he spawns real close to me and we spend most of that half hour just killing each other, it was actually great fun.

What can I say, I can just go on and on and on about this game, it's simply amazing, really, buy it, go online, give it some time and you'll get the hang of it, I'm chief sergeant now and haven't actually played for too long and I truly enjoy every single minute of it. One other thing, you can choose to go into pretty much empty battle zones and practice flying the Warhawk, or just doing anything really, I have found this has helped me quite a lot in learning to use all the weapons you can find in the game.

Didn't think I'd love this game this much

Though I've seen the game out for a while, nothing really sparked any interest in me to want to play the game. I just thought it was some futuristic flying game. I can remember the old warhawk for ps1 and feeling the same way. So while this game was on my gamefly list (like a netflix for video games, awesome investment) and it arrived I was a little dissapointed that my requested game wasn't available. Af first I was a little frusterated with the controls, but after changing the options I became quickly addicted. There is so much more to the game than just flying the warhawk. Definitly one of the best games I've ever played, judging that I simply can't get away from it. Also there are additional add on levels that increase the replay value. HIGHLY Reccommend this game to anyone with a PS3.

Also don't know how people are bashing this game on so called flaws. The games controls are easy and diverse even with all the different playing options. The look and feel of the game seem almost perfect. The sounds are also add a great warzone feel to the game. I also have almost no lagging depite the massive levels with up to 32 players at a time.

We can only guess that Sony is attempting to self destruct the PS3 and Warhawk. I turned on my PS3 tonight and I was FORCED to download and install 3, count 'em 3 separate updates just to play Warhawk. This took over an hour and is using untold space on my hard drive so I can, what was it again, oh yes, play neato looking bloo-ray movies at nifty even higher (Yes, now I can see more sweat beads!) resolution. Yes, once again Sony is simply a company that believes that constantly updating your GAME MACHINE with pointless updates is more fun then playing Unreal or COD4 or Warhawk.

You know, when you turn on an old Sega Genesis or N64, does everybody know what happens? Yes, a totally amazing thing happens. YOU PLAY A GAME! Like right away too. A PS3 is a gaming system, it is not Windows Vista. It is not a computer, it is not a bloo-ray it is a machine specifically designed to PLAY GAMES! Yes indeed, I blew-ray [$...]on a update machine. That is awesome. Now I have to go out and buy a game machine cause I apparently no longer have one.

BEST GAME EVER

so far i have Oblivion singstar eye of judgment and ressistance and many more. i liked the ressistance online multiplayer and i really wanted a headset to chat to others so i picked up the warhawk bundle and i tried it out and so far i havent played ressistance since. yesterday a new add-on was released for a new car and map it cost $7.99 and just as warhawk was starting to get boreing there was fresh excitement again and i have had this game sincesdecember so it has provided about 5 months of non-stop entertainment. so if you want a game that will last long this is the way to go

Not to shabby

It took me a while to get this game. I didn't like the fact that it was a multiplayer only. It would of been nice to maybe be able to play the different game types with bots also. The graphics are nice and the draw distance is fantastic since some of the maps are huge. It is fun playing with others however, since you can make plans on how to attack the other team and all. Someone like me, though, I only get to play maybe a few times a month, so I don't get to practice much. There are people that play waaaay too much and therefore are very good at the game. Sometimes, this can make the game boring because you die too much. I think there are connection issues as well. I've gone around flying in the warhawk and will hit other warhawks six or seven times and they keep going. I get hit by one missle and I'm gone. The controls are hard to use, but I'm a PC FPS person.

Soooo FUN

Truly it's soo fun that I cant begin too get into details cuz I wont stop writing but know that you could fly and warhawk during battle, tanks, jeeps with a turret, soo many cool ways too kill your foes online that it's quite simply addicting and challenging when you fight a good group of people. If you like online gaming buy it now and you wont regret it this and call of duty 4 is all you will need for the next few months and too be frank I thing Warhawk is soo good Ill be playing it till the servers are off line. Well CHEERS.

Where Are The Bots?

I knew going into this game that there would not be any bots. Unfortunately, when playing offline with a number of others, this becomes a liability, as the maps are too large to afford one to not pilot a Warhawk. Since the controls of the Warhawk don't seem that compelling to me, I'm more likely to jump into a vehicle, but again, with the maps as large as they are, no sooner do you get to an area in offline mode than you realize that the action has now moved to some other location.

If I could take the offline split-screen possibilities of Warhawk and marry them to the graphics, weapons, bots, and vehicles of UT3, I would have the perfect game in every respect. As it is I just have a game that is nothing special when my friends or my sons friends come to visit.

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!

Having played video games since the 80s, once owning a 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, Genesis, Neo Geo, NES, SuperNES, N64, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox360, and more, and being no kid, I would say that without doubt this is the very best game I have ever played. When playing on-line you have the option to join a large or small slaughterhouse type game, or if you prefer, you can join a more strategic game of waiting and planning, or a combination of both. Every game is totally different from the last. You can concentrate on air battle, ground assault, defensive strategies, racing your jeep or tank to capture the flag, just shooting down Warhawks, and a thousand other possible choices.

There is a vast array of weapons to choose from to take down your opponent and no one weapon could be considered inferior. You can take down a Warhawk as a foot soldier with a portable missile launcher, snipe guys in bases, or lay mines to cream a tank. There are many game locations, or maps, and many variations on these maps. Every game is a totally new experience and you will quickly become addicted to the on-line 32 player version.

As far as multiplayer, no game can compare. You can play 1 player, or 4 player split screen and then join an on-line battle with four friends at your home. Making this the ultimate PS3 "party game", as strange as that sounds. Next Gen games that allow multiplayer, multiplayer on-line, are fun, and are highly rated are not as common as you might think. I have seen both men and women enjoy this game immensely. (You will probably want a large screen TV for multiplayer split screen on-line play.)

As far as some other reviews indicating that this is all played by kids; Sure, there are lots of young ones you can sometimes hear in the game babble (headset can be used to organize your team but is not required to play effectively), but many of these kids are not just good, but obviously understand many subtle strategies or war simulations. If you find it embarrassing to be mowed down, chased, mined or knifed by some 10 year old then maybe you should start some other hobby like ship bottle building or alphabetizing your screwdrivers and Torx wrenches. You will see players at all levels from beginners, to "family" groups, to others that will specifically hunt you down in a large multiplayer game just 'cause you have a funny screen name or shot them down one time by accident. That is the magic of this game. It is never the same and you lean new tricks every game. There is a very high replay value.
