Action Trip writes: "We don't see many air combat games on the market these days and I honestly don't know if anybody's still actually into those classic flight sim. games. The famed Ace Combat series is okay. I've played the latest installment -- Ace Combat 6 -- and I must say it has all the essentials of a decent arcadish-flavored flight game. According to some fans, however, the series could use brightening up and the same thing can be said about the genre as well. Hopefully, the diligent folks at Ubisoft are going to add some spark to what is otherwise a somewhat decaying genre.
The recently announced aerial combat game Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is currently in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Apart from being the first air combat game to utilize the Tom Clancy universe, it also has a few neat ingredients that could deliver an exciting experience for players."
WHY HOT?
-Gameplay are promising and so are the visuals
WHY NOT?
-The assistance mode may not turn out to be as intuitive as they say and could easily backfire, instead adding a much needed boost of creativity to the genre
Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. was a series that showed promise, but after 2010's Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2, all we have is backwards compatibility.
I remember buying Hawx2 back on PS3 after Microsoft bought exclusivity of Ace Combat6.
So to fill that dog fighting space I bought Hawx2, a very basic game that only had a gimmick of evasion that was overused if I remember correctly. I never even finished the game and still own it and my super slim ps3 so who knows I might pop it in one day and see if I can feel the need, I he need for speed.

I think for this genre to move on you need MP, flying through the canynons and stuff, flight games do tend to take up graphics power so maybe only 4 online IMO
