A PS3 Must Have

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 5 / 6

Where to start....This is the best game I have played on the ps3 so far! It is loads of fun, fly in a WarHawk, go on foot, get in a jeep, in a tank, and if you get that Omega Dawn booster pack from PSN (playstation network), you can comandeer a dropship. I stayed up playing this game till 3:00am! I couldn't get enough of it. If you have a PS3 and do not have this game, go and buy it now (if you have online play for it)!

4 player split screen multiplayer in air, on feet, on wheels...

I am very surprised about the depressed review ratings on here. We have played Warhawk since it was launched 7 months or so ago and it is still one of the games that lets us choose the PS3 over our XBOX360(Halo!!!)regularly.

Warhawk is a pure online multiplayer game where you can choose, on various sized maps, what you prefer: battle from air to air, air to ground, tank battles, ssimple 2 feet battle with machine guns... it all mixes together in glorious fun battles.

Choose a shotgun, mine a few tanks, use a flame thrower or jump in a turret to what the Warhawks out of the air (Warhawks are Harrier type planes that can hover like Helis and fly like jets). You can use the sixaxis controller or simple joystick controls.

Nothing is more fun than a battle that has all the varied components at the same time. We use a large 63" HDTV with 4 players online at the same time. This is a blast (much like Halo)as you can have your friends cover you from the air or ground etc. Voicechat with the headsets works great too.

All in all: nothing beats a 4 player online splitscreen experience. It is the biggest thrill to take on others that way or even each other.

You can also play local only by setting a localhosting game. The only thing you cannot do is a 1 player mission.

The game has all the traditionas: zones (capture territories), CTF, Melee etc etc.

What is also woth mentioning is that you can pla from huge 5 mile radius maps to tiny little fortresses with 32 players, i.e. either a sniper, long range bombing war vs crazy stab-fests or anything inbetween.

Warhawk is a must have for anyone that diggs Halo (1, 2 or 3). 4 player split screen is a must have. The variety is a mt have. The game does not get old, it gets better as you start to memorize maps and find weapons.

It lags Forge mode but they have broughtout the Omega factory map that comes with the huge flying fortress which is insanely fun to bring down.
WARHAWK RULES, SIR YESSIR.

PS, REGARDING THE HEADSET VERSION: You do not need it if you have a Bluetooth headset lying around. Any bluetooth headset seems to work and 20$ for a crappy headset is not worth the money. Get yourself a 9$ BT headset on dealextreme or so if you really want one.

Extremely entertaining multiplayer action!

Wonderful and immersive graphics with gigantic playing areas for up to 32 people! You can play as a soldier, tank, jeep, or in a warhawk. Each one has its advantages and drawbacks and the game design prevents any one from being too powerful. Since it is online only, you are tossed into games with players who may be far more skilled than you. Thankfully, you have the option of choosing ranked or non-ranked games so there are places to practice. Once you get confortable, you can play in ranked games to accumulate points which will unlock customization options. Three different modes; capture the flag, zones, and deathmatch keep gameplay from ever being repetitive. And because all players are real people (not computers) every single game is different and has its own characteristics. Steep learning curve, but stick with it. This game is very enoyable once you learn the basics!

Great fun

This game is a riot. You can be a foot soldier with many weapons(Rifle, knife, handgun, grenade,rocket launcher, flame thrower, etc..), use vehicles like a jeep or tank or even stationary turrets and machine guns and the best IMO is flying around in the planes! The game just looks beautiful and is what these games should be, fun.

WowHawk is here

Warhawk is an action multiplayer online game. If you are looking for a single player experience then look elsewhere (Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Folksoul). However, it is one of the best multiplayer experiences you can have. For $40 you can download it directly from the PSN store which is a steal in my book. But the retail price is an even better deal. For $60 you get the manual, box, blu-day, a $40 Bluetooth headset to communicate online(which you can also use with your phone), a USB charger which can be useful to charge that second controller as well and the ability to have LAN parties with one disk. Its a great price.

Ok on to the greatness that is this game.
Pros:
- Very Solid Framerate
- No lag. If you are an 360 owner, you are not stranger to LAGGY games. Sony is using Dedicated servers on most of their first party games which means zero to no Lag. Resistance is still the best online multiplayer experience so far and the Warhawk will now carry that torch. Makes you wonder why you pay a monthly fee for Lag on Live doesn't it :(
- Controls are spot on. Flying the warhawk using Motion Control is quite a treat and has advantages like leaving your thumbs free for precise aiming.
- 32 Player online action.
- 2-4 split screen! battle it out with your friends at home!
- Retail version ($60) will allow you to have LAN parties with other PS3s without needing more than one disk. This means 32Player LAN parties with one disk!!!!!!!!
- A lot of content. Unlike shadowrun (another multiplayer only game) Warhawk has a lot of maps and variety.

So there you have it. Simply put, there is no better online multiplayer game at the moment. If you are a fan of the Battlefield games or simply enjoy multiplayer fun you need this game.

Warhawk: My first online gaming addiction

I have been a gamer for a long time and have particularly been a fan of Shooter games especially on the PC. Somehow, online multiplayer shooters have never been my cup of tea. I have tried Battlefield series, Resistance and a few others.

The main reason is that even after putting in weeks I continue to suck at these games. Somehow, that stops being fun very soon.

However, I think I have finally found my Multiplayer addiction. I picked up Warhawk as an impulse buy and after just two days I am absolutely hooked.

The graphics etc. are pretty good. It has some issues with stats and online leaderboards. Lacks some lobby features. Some of these are going to be addressed soon, others we'll have to live with.

What makes this game one of the best I have played, however, is the gameplay. For the first time learning the game was actually fun. While I am pretty bad at it, I can still have fun being bad. It takes a few hours to learn the ropes. I suggest you download/read the manual and a few online guides. After that this game has me totally hooked. I am giving it 5 stars for it's mind blowing gameplay. Even the initial learning curve is hugely fun.

Pick it up if you like shooters. You will "Get" online multiplayer gaming with this.

Pretty Insane!

Whew! That's how you feel after you put down the controller. This is one of those mindblowing games that is so frenetic all the time you can hardly catch your breath. The dogfighting is amazing, graphics look nice, no lag. There are already tons of servers to connect to, so getting in a game is easy. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, but once you do it is balls to wall action. Keep in mind there is no real story here. There is no real campaign to undertake. Some might be turned off by that, but I found that it didn't detract from the overall experience. Historically, I've never been much for online play, but this game may have just changed my mind.

Don't buy this Game

You risk your social life, your job and your relationship. This game is seriously addicting, I can't get enough and I fear my marriage my suffer because of it.

This online multiplayer shooter is everything I hoped it would be and more. It's fast paced and intense, provides an immersive atmosphere, impressive variety and rewards teamwork and strategy. The feeling of being in the middle of a pitched battle while trying to claim that crucial zone (or defend your flag, or to survive that dogfight, or bring the enemy flag home for the win) is amazing. You've got Warhawks dogfighting overhead as you take on ground troops and tanks. Bullets whiz by and explosions detonate all around as you hope those same aircraft don't take notice of you, all the while you've got to keep moving as you never know when that sniper will find you in his sites. Or, you can choose to be the person in the Warhawk, defending your team as they battle it out on the ground. Or, you can be the sniper, hiding on a hill just waiting for that perfect shot to present itself. Really, the possibilities are huge.

When you find yourself on a team that is using their headsets it gets even better as a well coordinated attack or defense can turn the tide of the battle.

With Incognito's promise of downloadable content to come you can bet this game will grow and evolve giving you reasons to keep coming back to it. There have been a couple of bugs that have cropped up since its release but, in all honesty, they haven't really affected my enjoyment of this game in the slightest and with Incognito's dedication to making this game great you can bet that these issues are soon to be fixed.

So, if you didn't get the sarcasm in my title, let me rephrase:

GO OUT AND GET THIS GAME TODAY!

And while I won't go so far as to say that this game alone is a reason to buy a PS3 if you don't already have one, with all the great games on the horizon combined with how great this game is, now is as good a time as any to get a PS3.

Epic Win!

MAN THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN! You first spawn with a pistol and 2 grenades. You can pick up weapons by just looking at what color code they are in! There are Jeeps, Tanks, APCs(Broken Mirror Booster Pack), Dropships(Omega Dawn Booster Pack), and to be yet to be comfirmed, Jetpacks! xD Alot of maps and vehicles too! 5 Words: Get ready to get PWNED!

A big fan

I am suprised it took me so long to give this game a try. I am a huge fan of multiplayer warfare (such as in the battlfield games) and this game was right up my alley the whole time! I play it every day I am so addicted, they keep putting out these huge updates too. You will be getting your moneys worth and then some if you like multiplayer games. I wish somone would have told me how awesome this game was along time ago, because i'm such a rookie it's not even funny, but I still have fun.
