Online Mayhem

First let me start off by saying that if you're a fan of online shooters or a fan of any fast-paced game, Warhawk is the game for you. For a game with no single player campaign you'll cut your teeth online immediately. Warhawk features a very basic story - two civilizations at all out war - what basically boils down to red vs. blue. From there you're free to play whatever you want - Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Zones (control parts of the map with your team to win), and Capture the Flag. Whatever you choose you'll notice that the game features relatively few maps - only five of them - with several variations and sizes. While this may sound short lived, its actually the opposite that holds true. You'll quickly realize the game offers something different for everyone - do you play defense and guard your base or do you jump in a tank for a frontal assault against the enemy? Or you could jump in a Warhawk (the games namesake and aircraft) and battle in the skies. Really, no two matches I've had have been identical. Warhawk features a terrific stat tracking mechanism to keep track of every kill, death and shot you've made in the game. It also features a leveling system that will literally take years to achieve the top ranks and a reward system of badges, ribbons and medals. Graphically the game is not the PS3's best looking game but its gorgeous in its own way. The impressive fact is that the game runs at 720p while having 32 simultaneous online players. The only shortfall to an otherwise very solid game would have to be the occasional network problems that seem to restart servers at random and some problems with players being promoted to higher ranks without earning the necessary points. On both counts the developer has made major improvements with the release of a patch.

Hours of Fun, buy it and join the battle

I got this game from the PS Online Store through my PS3. I followed it during development and jumped on it when it was released. The game hooked me with the various gaming options (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, etc.) and your ability to customize your character as you gained level points. I play the CTF games more then anything else, and I have never gotten board! Sony stated when the game came out that they would develop more levels and features to the game, which I am waiting patiently on.

Your choices for vehicles are not very broad (Jeep, Tank, and Aircraft) but they still offer their own appeal. The aircraft was the hardest to control at first, but I soon loved the Hover feature. The aircraft is the only vehicle that you can get multiple weapons for (Cluster Bombs, Tow Missiles, etc). The Jeep does have a machine gun on the back, its the fastest and it can hold 3 people. A fun and unique way of playing the Jeep is to plant landmines on it and doing Suicide runs! The Tank has great range and offers itself to be used as mobile artillery. A nice option is to have a teammate pop out of the top-hatch and launch grenades, rockets, or whatever from the opening. A couple of things I would like to see done are upgrades to the Jeep and Tank weapons like the aircraft, and the addition of maybe a Motorcycle and some kind of Water craft (level permitting).

There were some loading and availability problems, but Sony has a patch to fix that. There are only 5 levels to choose from right now, but I am under the impression that will change soon.

The customization is a nice asthetic feature, but adds no real change to the game play.

If your into Multiplayer, Online only games, you will love this game.

Great online game for everyone

I have to say that out of every other online game I've ever played I have, and continue to, enjoy Warhawk the most. Out of my entire game catalogue it continues to leave the shelf more often then any other game, and I have spent no less than 78 hours playing Warhawk since my purchase all the way back in September and this trend shows no sign of stopping. From the second you first enter a game, to the time you press the X button on the quit icon, your bound to have a true next generation multiplayer experience. This experience is also increased by the inclusion of a Bluetooth headset.
It's very true that this game has a steep learning curve which at first is difficult to overcome but after the first few hours of play you'll begin to get to grips with a game that has more ways to play than any I've seen before or since. It should be noted, however, that this was only my experience and because I bought it so near the launch date there weren't as many really great players as there are today which could very well mean that the learning time has increased. As time goes on and you play in more ranked matches you begin to unlock new uniforms for your character and paint designs for your warhawk which show off your achievements and can also make you feel much more unique than lower ranking players. Naturally to unlock these achievements you need to fulfil the requirements of medals. While both of these goals are good for really competitive gamers it has little practical use other than to show off with, so all and all I wouldn't play the game for the achievements I would play it for the fun and satisfaction which is certainly not hard. Heck I'm one of the better players you'll find on Warhawk and I've never gotten past the ranking of Command Sergeant!
Also it needs to be noted that Warhawk offers great clan support. There are hundreds of clans to choose from or you can even make your own with ease. In the community section of Warhawk you can observe any clan offers you have received and either except or decline the invitation and when it comes to it know exactly what game your clan members are in.
What really makes Warhawk such an incredibly fun game is what I like to call the I'm important battle system. This system is made up of a few main aspects.
Due to the effective inclusion of air units which act as both a fighter plane and helicopter a whole new dimension of gameplay is added and millions of strategies unfurl before the players eyes. One can man a turret and know that every time an enemy plane is shot down that's another player they don't have to worry about providing trouble to your troops or threatening your bases. Or you could do the total opposite. Grab a Jeep, pick up a team mate to ride on the machine gun turret and go to take bases. Just look out for warhawks who are always ready to take out an unsuspecting 4 by 4!
This brings us to a second reason why Warhawk is so fun. Thanks to the system of having bases that can be captured you can defend and take bases with the knowledge you are either preventing enemies from moving forward, or you are helping your team to move forward across the battlefield. For these reasons many games would do well to copy and learn from the base system of Warhawk.
Finally we arrive at the actual array of weapons available to the player. You are never defenceless. If you are being attacked by a warhawk and you just spawned attempt to duck out somewhere and lure the aircraft dangerously close to the ground and you have a chance of destroying it with the simple but reliable hand grenade. If you are being attacked by someone with a machine gun who has some damage already on them then you can attempt to go up and knife the sucker or pull out your pistol and begin to tap the R1 button as fast as you can. I would just like to say that out of all the weapons available to the player a hand grenade is the most versatile, useful, and common. With even 1 grenade (you automatically spawn with 2 in your inventory and you can pick up a maximum of 6) a player is assured a 1 hit way to kill soldiers (I cant tell you how many gunfights have been decided by who throws the grenade first), a way to do some damage to vehicles and turrets, and kill anyone in a Jeep if the player is an accurate thrower.
All of these things combine to an incredibly intense, addictive and, fun game. A player can bring a friend over and have a blast playing split screen, although it really is a shame that almost no servers which have the full 32 players allow for more than one player to be on a console at once. Despite the large online sizes the frame rate is incredible and it just plane feels like a battlefield. I love Warhawk and this game should be considered a console seller.
Just be warned the headset isn't great but still good, and even if for some reason you don't want the headset it's totally compatible with phones.

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.

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.

Seeing such little reviews that helped me myself I decided to make one.

First off, Warhawk is a fun game Air Force based by some of the ranks ie Airmen. Kind of neat how when you rank up you unlock decals for your planes and new costumes and such. I first purchased this game on its release I thought it was kind of lame at first so I sold it, I gave it a 2nd chance and picked it up again since I seen there were expansion packs out and all kinds of new things added in, this game is online only but they really put alot of work into making it a good game. Its the only game I know of that you can dog fight in the air, fight hand to hand or blow each other up with tanks and such.

I'd pick it up for the 40 dollars, I personaly love the game now that I've gave it a 2nd chance It may not be for everyone but if you like war type games its a good hit! 10/10

Warhawk, an EXCELLENT GAME...with a few minor problems

Warhawk is totally worth the $[...] price tag. The game is so much fun, if you have a high-speed internet connection, as there is no offline play. If you do have a high-speed connection, get ready to have hours of fun.

One of the best things about the game is that you can play split-screen with your friend on your ps3, while playing online with others from around the world.

I would give this game an 8.5/10

Great game but not enough levels

The game is great and every thing is balanced such as a warhawk (which is a plane) can kill a anti air turret and that infantry armed only with a pistol, knife and grenades can kill a tank especially if there are enough of them. The only problem with this game is that there are few maps (but they can be changed in size to make them different) and that there isn't a single player mode. The most fun you will have playing this game however will be playing it split-screen with a friend.

Best Online Out There

Simply put, this is the game I have had the most fun with online on any of the current and last generation consoles. The fast-paced Battlefield-styled action is both easy for anyone to pick up and play while having fun, and something that rewards long-term players such as myself. With just over 100 hours of online gaming time including using the new expansion that is very cheap for the load of content you get, this game is a must-have for all gamers.

Added with that, the included bluetooth headset is easy to use and much better than the standard wired headset offered with the "other box" console. Battery life lasts as long as I need it and voice quality is superb. Taken with its low inclusion price of an extra $20 over the games' standalone price, this is a no-brainer-buy.
