Who needs a single-player campaign with a multiplayer game this addictive? I can't seem to put down the controller once fly my first plane. Motion sensitivity takes a short while to get accustomed to, but once you get the hang of it....IT'S ON!!

EXCELLENT - Mass Multiplayer Online Game

I absolutely love this game. It is one of the best out for the PS3, has great graphics, is very unique (character design, craft design) --- I've seen Halo 3 played, and I've seen this played, both are great games, but personally, I'd rather play WARHAWK!

Buy this game if you have a PS3, I believe it is worth the purchase. Even if you just download it, buy it!

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.

Game Great! Bluetooth... not so much.

Let me start with I LOVE this game! But, most of the other reviews can give you an idea of how much fun this game is!

I want to talk about the Bluetooth, because this is actually why I got the game. I wanted a BT headset for NBA Live and I figured $40 for a new one or $60 for a Bluetooth and a game (not really caring what game it was) was a great value! Well I was right!... only the value was in the game and not the Bluetooth. It's a pretty cheap piece of plastic and although it does work, the sound quality is awful! You can tell the people online that are using the BT headset that came with the games because you can never understand what they are saying.

I play with a good friend of mine online all the time. He bought the game without the included headset for $40 and used an old BT headset that he once used for his cell phone. He sounds GREAT online... but he always complained about not understanding me. I decided to go ahead and buy a separate headset and not only does everything sound better... apparently I do too. And when you're trying to coordinate an attack... it s VERY important that you understand what's going on.

GET THIS GAME... but not the bundle pack! Use the extra 20 bucks towards a better Bluetooth headset.

Better than expected

Prior to purchasing Warhawk, I read all of the reviews posted here trying to figure out if I wanted the version with the bluetooth headset or not, and couldn't really decide either way. I ended up getting the version with the bluetooth headset. I'll have to say from my experience, as a guy who is 24 years old, the use of the headset was almost immediately an annoyance (kids yelling random unintelligible things) and I've since muted the in-game voice chat, most likely leaving the bluetooth headset to gather dust. I can see how it's possible that I may want to use it later on, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Personally, I recommend saving $20 by going with the version of the game without the headset, and instead using the money toward the purchase of the Warhawk expansion from within the game (I don't believe I read anything mentioning this in the other reviews, but yes, there is a small expansion available within the game which is very inexpensive). I have not purchased this expansion yet, and it is by no means a necessary component, however I like the game so much that I'm sure I'll end up purchasing it within a few days. So back to the headset- it really ended up being pretty much worthless to me as I had no desire to use it. My reasoning for saying this is that one of the best things about this game is the sound (I have a 7.1 setup). When a warhawk buzzes over your head, it sounds incredibly realistic. It's just an amazing experience with a decent sound system. Hearing people you don't know talking over top of these sounds is nothing but an annoyance that you can easily get rid of in the sound options. Believe me, the headset is not needed at all.

I agree with everything positive said previously about Warhawk in the reviews here. I haven't found anything negative about the game aside that I agree with previous comments that it is somewhat frustrating to learn how to play a new game in a multiplayer environment, especially piloting the warhawk. This is understandable however, as it's clearly a multiplayer only game and I didn't expect to dominate a server upon the first time playing. I quickly learned the controls and was able to be competitive with other players within minutes. The ground vehicles are pretty straightforward, however piloting the warhawk definitely has quite a steep learning curve in order to get to the point where you aren't blown out of the sky within 30 seconds.

Lastly, I'm a big fan of the PC for this type of game, and I've actually never owned a shooter type game for a console before. I'll have to say I'm extremely impressed. Warhawk on the PS3 not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. It is by far my favorite game for the PS3 now and I highly recommend it.

Best of the Best

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.

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.

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.
