While the latest Tom Clancy effort in H.A.W.X. 2 does its best to offer a genuine air-combat flying experience, it tries too hard to be the flying sim it can never be. It might improve in some areas - namely the difficulty - but H.A.W.X. 2 is just another addition to a franchise that just can’t nail the landing.
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.

Hello everybody. We are very happy to announce that the PlayStation Store Halloween Sale starts tomorrow (24th October). There are some frighteningly good offers across a whole range of great titles but please see below for a full list of the content available.
Gonna get myself HoTD 3&4 me thinks. Kind of expected Infamous Festival of Blood to be on sale for Halloween, oh well!
Anyone in Europe who hasn't picked up Beyond good and evil HD yet HAS TO do so now. It was pretty unforgivable to not buy it for the full price but at that price you should have your console taken away for refusing to buy it.
The first HAWX was fun for a little while, but got bored of it. I'll give it a miss.
flight sims are always hard to play for a prolonged time and never seem to offer the experience we might wish to see.
nice work
IMO, the problem with flying games is that nobody cares enough about planes on their own to care about a game based solely on them.
gran turismo 5? everybody likes cars. thats why everyone is happy enough to drive around a virtual track for days on end.
hawx? while flying is no doubt cooler than driving, you just cant relate to it.
So many low scores for Hawx2, so many big promotions...
good review.
I love flight sims, maybe because F14 Tomcat was one of the first games I played, and loved.
Im an Ace Combat fan, with that being said I like the first H.A.W.X. I could neve get that free flying style or whatever its called. Still enjoyed the game though. Im not an Aircraft enthusiast, but I think I enjoyed every aircraft game I played from Captain SkyHawk to HAWX
