Warhawk PS3 Reviews

[BradleyLove]

Seeing as Durera has done this in the 360 Games section, I suppose it makes sense to have a PS3 version so here goes.

So how do you feel about Warhawk?

Please! As a courtesy to others; avoid posting any spoilers in your reviews.

A 10 should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules, a 9 for a truly excellent game without flaw, and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get a 5 (not a 7 or 8 like some would have you believe).

With thanks for Durera for providing the format (makes sense to keep it consistent across AVF).

I gave it a 7.

Personally, I feel that the aircraft have too much of a dominant role. Every match I have played just turns into a dogfight with not many people actually willing to complete the objectives. It's a shame because the mechanics are great, and if the number of warhawks were limited (ala Battlefield's aircraft) then I think that there could end up being some great land battles which would suit the larger land based maps superbly.

One other thing, does anyone else feel as though there should be more weapons? I do!

Oh and yeah one more thing... anyone else think the games are over too quickly? I'm just getting into my stride and loving a level and then it ends!

Good game though, sorry for the criticism, don't get me wrong, money well spent in my opinion

I gave it a 7 too, its good but it annoys me that you spend most of the time spinning around trying to shoot people, you can empty a whole clip of ammo into someone and they'll still have life, someone could be right next to a tank shell going off and survive, shooting a plane with a plane works wonders but why is it you can continuously unload on a guy and not even scratch him?! it feels fat too unbalanced, aside from that I enjoy it

Quite interesting! The bunch of people I was playing with... the Warhawks were taking a real pounding.... so it became a zone capture battle as opposed to an aerial one.

There is a seperate "play and help" thread here.

Warhawk - Play & Help Thread

Probably better to post in there as this one is just for reviews.

I just played on an official 'Zones' server, and that was more like it! People were trying to follow the objectives!

I'd recommend anyone to try the ranked zones games, much more fun than the old deathmatch etc!

How good are the tanks? Loving them. I managed to shoot a couple of warhawks out the air with one just now. Oh and I shot down a warhawk in full flight with the sniper rifle

I'm going to raise my original score the an 8, as it's true, i've not encountered any lag what so ever so far.

I voted 8

It's smooth up in the air and crisp down on the ground. Great fun, with maybe only a touch of variation in the tension of the game missing (because you tend to whip through the tighter parts of the map, you don't get so much of a chance to feel the situation you're in before the situation changes).

But maybe that's all that you can expect to get from these ground-air-ground games anyway. It's excellent for what it is And I'm ok being £20 lighter in return.

Downloaded Warhawk the other night, and have to say that I am blown away by it. It is a bit like the old Battlefield 1942 from the PC but much more playable and fun.

Awesome, and I am totally addicted. It's a shame I asm so crap at it and keep getting blown out of the sky.

I reckon that this is the best game on the PS3 yet. Let's hope that future offerings are as good as this.

I voted 9.

I've had a few games now, both with guys from the AVF clan and on my own, and it's just stunning. Graphically I think it's excellent, the lack of lag is just superb, and there's no better thing in any PS3 game I've played so far than jumping out of a tank just as a Warhawk's coming down firing at you, only to whip out the rocket launcher and fire it through the blaze that was your tank and turn the Warhawk into a fiery mess...

[Widge]

I will chip in with an 8 on this myself (esp since I don't like to bandy 9 or 10's about).

100% enjoyable game with some small flaws that updates can work out.

Perhaps some sort of auto-retry on server could go great guns to alleviating that dreaded GAME IS FULL issue.

But aside from that, once you're in, just absolute laughs all the way. No 'oh the single player game is crap' issues either with this! :D

best game on ps3. love the ground battles, especially tanks. im still not understanding the lobby though eg lg 3 (lv4) now getting something like md (level 2). something like that. i just pick at random to be honest
