GameBlurb: H.A.W.X. 2 Preview

GameBlurb writes, "Aerial combat and dog fighting isn’t really something I do so often when it comes to video games, but I’ve always wanted to gain a sense of speed and thrill that was brought with fighting in the skies. H.A.W.X. 2 tries to give you that opportunity but does the demo even give you a successful takeoff?"

I agree with the frustration level the demo imposed. I bet it would be better suited with a flight stick on the pc. But overall I think I will pass on this one.

I plan to get it, I like flying games and we just don't get that many now days. The new Ace Combat looks sick but that is coming out in 2011. That and this game is $50 not the full $60 most are.

I wasn't aware that the game was going to be launched at a discount. Any word if that price is global?

Seems to me that the "reviewer" has a thing against anything that requires a little patience and dexterity. I wasn't completely thrilled with the original H.A.W.X. game but found this demo to be fairly enjoyable. The enemy AI is a lot smarter that what I was accustomed to in the last Ace Combat game I played (AC5), and the refueling minigame was far more challenging, as opposed to the "just fly within proximity of the fuel plane and you automatically latch on" mechanic. I like games such as this and the Ace Combat series (even though I would love to see a full fledged flight sim like Lock On Platinum hit consoles), and this is a very welcomed alternative to the cliché shooters that's flooding the console market presently.

The HAWX series is very pretty much the Project Gotham Racing of the flight world. Not quite a simulator, not quite arcade controls. I have a feeling anyone that spends sometime with the control scheme will find the game a good mix of fun and challenge.

Who needs another flight simulator? Microsoft's is soo F*@$ing boring

Kuzo5005d ago

I liked Blazin Angels but really haven't played any flying games since

The reviews for the first game was absolutely mediocre. Was there any potential in the franchise?

opinska4247d ago

yeah and u need to pay 50-60$ for your OVERPRICED xbox live subscription... yeah be quiet

clevernickname4248d ago

Took me a minute to figure out what the fuck "reduced content" means in English. In means the PRICE has been reduced.

Must be some Brtish phrase because I've never heard that term used in North America. Just like when someone told me the weather was "hotting up" when I was in the UK. "Hotting up? Oh, HEATING up," I had to tell myself.

nukeitall4248d ago

I got all confused too. I thought it was reduced content that is being released, not a price cut!

doogiebear4248d ago

Xbox live fee's hard at work lol. Plus they made tons of money off of Ads (why are there ads if u already paid....hmmm), AND all the money made from Kinect---Yet they still screw their customers over. Smh -_-

InklingGirl4247d ago

How about dropping the price for older games like Grid and Too Human?
