Starhawk Review | GameSpot

Figuring out these tactics and tricks makes Starhawk a lot of fun to play, but it's a shame that the transitions between modes are so rocky. Learning harsh lessons and recalibrating your approach isn't a pleasant process, but it's well worth pushing through. These online battlefields are unlike any others

IGN were the first ones to publish a review, and the only ones to give a 9/10.

I'm always skeptical about the "first review out score" especially from big sites. Its smells money bag/marketing tool all over it for the website AND the game.

And now IGN are the heroes and gamespot are the bad guys.

brodychet4389d ago

They weren't the only ones to give them a 9. Other reviewers have given it a 4.5/5 which is a 9. So.. go troll elsewhere.

ery interested to pick this up. loved the beta, even though it had many issues mainly getting into a game!
but the core strategy involved in the matches seemed very enjoyable.

M1chl4389d ago

I just went to that site and unfortunatelny took a look into a discussion thread. Those fan girls complaing about 7.5 being low score its just... For me personaly 7.5 it a very good game and I tend to like more of the "very good" games then those which are rated 10/10. I didn't like beta so I won't be getting Starhawk, but thats come down to my personal taste. I really don't think that there is anything wrong with this game.

Kinger89384389d ago

Read the review not the score. May base the score on stuff that doesnt matter to you for example i feel single player is helping this game get lower scores but i didnt want or would not play the single player anyways

SageHonor4389d ago

Even if the game's focus is primarily multiplayer it should still be judged as a whole game.. and that means talking about the singleplayer too.

GribbleGrunger4389d ago

i have to agree. if the developers decided to add singleplayer then it should be judged as a whole.

FlashXIII4389d ago

But there is double standards there.. you don't see sp games get lower scores because the mp is added on. You judge a game by what it sets out to accomplish.. this is a mp game so should be judged as such. Lowering the score for this game because of the SP would be like lowering Skyrim's score because it doesn't have a mp component.

Mikhail4389d ago

Well, reviewers view it as such, BF3 was reviewed as a SP and MP game and we know that SP was just tack on. Thus, it got lower scores.

dark-hollow4389d ago

they judge the whole package!

believe me if it was $20-$40 on launch without the sp mode nobody would complain.

battlefield 3 was criticized for it weak campaign too.

raymantalk14389d ago

if they going to take into account the single player and lower the score for it then all the halo games on my xbox 360 should of gotten allot lower scores than what they did when they were released but at the time nothing was said about single player as far as i can remember that is

arbitor3654389d ago

games should be rated on their overall appeal. So why cant certain "sectioned off" aspects of the game be ignored?

you are basically saying

superb MP(only) = superb game 9/10

superb MP (the same from above) + mediocre SP = average game 7.5/10

does this system really represent the value that one gets out of a game? the second one has everything that the one has, plus more and yet it is inferior? that makes no sense.

This kind of reviewing is a disservice to the readers and it does not give them an accurate portrayal of the value they will get out of a game

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake33d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX32d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer33d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils33d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg33d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1109d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991109d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
