Starhawk Review | G4TV

To have transformable jets in the follow-up game to Warhawk feels like a natural evolution for Sony's flight combat series. Starhawk's multiplayer showcases this with superb results, so it's that much more of a mystery that the same can't be said about its other modes.

started playing last night and I am having a blast. I never played Warhawk, but I was a huge fan of Star Wars Battlefront, and this feels like the closest thing to SW:BF out there. The RTS/Tower Defense elements are fun. I really enjoyed setting up a base around the flag and then heading out, there are really cool thrilling moments too, like when I was playing zones and I thought I was being all sneaky and then a transformer landed and tried to attack me but I captured the zone just in time and a teammate's pod rained down from the heavens and squashed his ass. great game and fun.

I haven't played zones yet, but the mp games I have played so far have been incredible. CTF and TDM. the game is well polished and vehicle combat and ground combat is fun as hell. They really did a good job with this and giving the new DLC maps for free is an added bonus

The atmosphere in this game is awesome.

Dooge said it best lol "atmosphere is awesome" there is no way you can play this game and not feel as if your in an all out war!!!!!!! I was playing on (well i forgot the level)" and all i could think about was how to kill the tanks that were pounding at our base. Luckily few players had mics and we said you know what everybody tank up and we destroyed them (by the way tanks are very powerful). This game is all out war frm start to finish.

And as the others have mentioned up top this game is "well polished" and has so much to offer. I played the coop rounds last night and those were so fun as well. The most robust and well rounded mp ive played in a long time. The build and battle system is so epic, as well as all the cool vehicles.

I really love the base building aspect of the game. Has me hooked.

cfountain4389d ago

im loving it right now. both multi and single player are fun. Prospector mode is tough to play by yourself tho. I get to round 5 and get got by something. still fun tho.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

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.

FreeckyCake32d 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.

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

YourMommySpoils32d ago

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

Friendlygamer32d ago (Edited 32d 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 )

jznrpg32d 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!
