WowHawk is here

Warhawk is an action multiplayer online game. If you are looking for a single player experience then look elsewhere (Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Folksoul). However, it is one of the best multiplayer experiences you can have. For $40 you can download it directly from the PSN store which is a steal in my book. But the retail price is an even better deal. For $60 you get the manual, box, blu-day, a $40 Bluetooth headset to communicate online(which you can also use with your phone), a USB charger which can be useful to charge that second controller as well and the ability to have LAN parties with one disk. Its a great price.

Ok on to the greatness that is this game.
Pros:
- Very Solid Framerate
- No lag. If you are an 360 owner, you are not stranger to LAGGY games. Sony is using Dedicated servers on most of their first party games which means zero to no Lag. Resistance is still the best online multiplayer experience so far and the Warhawk will now carry that torch. Makes you wonder why you pay a monthly fee for Lag on Live doesn't it :(
- Controls are spot on. Flying the warhawk using Motion Control is quite a treat and has advantages like leaving your thumbs free for precise aiming.
- 32 Player online action.
- 2-4 split screen! battle it out with your friends at home!
- Retail version ($60) will allow you to have LAN parties with other PS3s without needing more than one disk. This means 32Player LAN parties with one disk!!!!!!!!
- A lot of content. Unlike shadowrun (another multiplayer only game) Warhawk has a lot of maps and variety.

So there you have it. Simply put, there is no better online multiplayer game at the moment. If you are a fan of the Battlefield games or simply enjoy multiplayer fun you need this game.

Warhawk, an EXCELLENT GAME...with a few minor problems

Warhawk is totally worth the $[...] price tag. The game is so much fun, if you have a high-speed internet connection, as there is no offline play. If you do have a high-speed connection, get ready to have hours of fun.

One of the best things about the game is that you can play split-screen with your friend on your ps3, while playing online with others from around the world.

I would give this game an 8.5/10

One of the best games to hit the PS3 yet

Originally envisioned as a launch title for the Playstation 3, WarHawk was re-thought from the ground up as a multiplayer-only title that shows some of what the PS3 is capable of. Naturally, WarHawk is one of the best games to hit the PS3 yet, and is also one of the most fun multiplayer experiences you'll have on a console. If you remember the original WarHawk (released way, way, way back for the PS1) you can expect some of the same type of gameplay here, only now you aren't just limited to attacking in the air, but you are on foot and in land vehicles as well. Combine this with the fact the game supports play for 32 players over a horde of different maps and such and you can already see what makes WarHawk so appealing. The game looks simply amazing, and the controls using the SixAxis controler are spectacular to say the least. It should also be noted that WarHawk is also available through download at Sony's online Playstation store with a cheaper price tag. Which version to lay down the cash for is up to you, but the hard copy of WarHawk includes a Bluetooth Headset, which comes in pretty handy considering the game takes full advantage of voice chat options. Other than that, the only downsides to WarHawk are some slight choppiness and the fact that a single player campaign would have at least been a nice addition for those whose online options aren't immediately available, but then again, the game is geared towards a specific audience after all. All in all, WarHawk isn't the killer app that PS3 fans have been looking forward to, but it's still a sight to behold on it's own merits, and it's definitely one of the best, exclusive games to hit the PS3 yet.

This is how games are made! and finally the PS3 is worth it

Wow, this game is incredible. Warhawk brings you into massive battles and lets to take part in all aspects, on foot, groud vehicles like tanks and jeeps, and EPIC air battles in the legendary Warhawks, Unlike most games were the on foot things work but once you step into a vehicle, the controls and physics all suck, Warhawk makes not only foot controls but vehicle and most of all the air controls really work, and work well. You can choose to hop into a tank and go bulldoze the enemy down, work on foot and get a sniper rifle and pick of enemies, grab a flamethrower and burn down their vehicles, take part in big gun battles between sides, jump in a jeep while a fellow team mate mans the turret on the back, jump into a flak cannon and riddle the skies with massive flak blasts to deter enemy warhawks, jump into a warhawk and scream across the battlefield bombing troops below or locking onto enemy targets and blasting away meanwhile preforming insane turns and barrel rolls to avoid enemy missiles, ALL IN THE SAME GAME!!!! I can't get over how awsome this game is and how much it lets you do in the warzones. Do yourself a favor and buy this game before you miss out on what will surley become a classic. I still am confused why there hasnt been any advertising for this game, but don't let that sway you, you will love this game absolutly.

Warhawk: My first online gaming addiction

I have been a gamer for a long time and have particularly been a fan of Shooter games especially on the PC. Somehow, online multiplayer shooters have never been my cup of tea. I have tried Battlefield series, Resistance and a few others.

The main reason is that even after putting in weeks I continue to suck at these games. Somehow, that stops being fun very soon.

However, I think I have finally found my Multiplayer addiction. I picked up Warhawk as an impulse buy and after just two days I am absolutely hooked.

The graphics etc. are pretty good. It has some issues with stats and online leaderboards. Lacks some lobby features. Some of these are going to be addressed soon, others we'll have to live with.

What makes this game one of the best I have played, however, is the gameplay. For the first time learning the game was actually fun. While I am pretty bad at it, I can still have fun being bad. It takes a few hours to learn the ropes. I suggest you download/read the manual and a few online guides. After that this game has me totally hooked. I am giving it 5 stars for it's mind blowing gameplay. Even the initial learning curve is hugely fun.

Pick it up if you like shooters. You will "Get" online multiplayer gaming with this.

It's about time...

I am an owner of both a PS3 and a Xbox360. Up until recently I have been pissed with the PS3's library of games (compared to 360), but that might be changing soon...
I picked up Warhawk and I must say "This game is loads of fun". Seriously if I had to describe Warhawk in one word, that word would be "FUN". The game runs very smoothly online.

Graphics- The visuals in this game are stunning. The draw distance and scope of the levels are like nothing I have seen. Flying through the clouds is pretty sweet. It feels like you are in the middle of a battle.

Sound- There is nothing like walking around on foot and hearing a Warhawk fly by speeding over your head. Or the sound of Rockets buzzing past you. Machine gun fire from turrets. All in 5.1 Glory!!!

Control- you are going to get OWNED for the first few games till you catch on. But dont worry at first it might seem pretty difficult but it actually becomes second nature very quickly (about 1hr)

Fun Factor- An ABSOLUTE BLAST.

If you own a PS3 this is a must have. If you do not own a PS3 this might not be the game that makes you go get one but it will definately add validity to the purchase.

Good online shooter

Warhawk puts you in the role of a soldier with a handgun, a couple grenades, and a club. You appear somewhere on a battlefield, and can pick up all sorts of other weapons (machinegun, missile launcher, etc.), extra grenades, and health. It is a 3rd person shooter, with different modes of gameplay including zone capture, capture the flag, kill everyone, or kill everyone on the other team.

There are vehicles that you can get into and control including jeeps, tanks, and the aircraft known as a warhawk. Each of these vehicles has its own special controls which actually handle pretty intuitively, although flying the warhawk may take some practice. Each vehicle also has its own weaponry, and the warhawk has many different powerups and health to pick up in midair.

Warhawk features online play capable of supporting 4 players from your console in a split screen mode, so you and three friends could all play together at your house against each other or online players. This game also supports offline multiplayer modes.

Warhawk is a welcome addition to the PS3 library, and recommended for fans of modern shooters. Action-adventure fans who enjoy a modern 3D game may want to pick this one up if you can find a good deal on a used copy.

better than i imagined

When i first heard about it, i wondered how much fun it was going to be flying plays and shooting others, OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN....

I actually purchased the game (PSN network, download only) to find that there was so much more to the game.

Planes, Automobiles, Tanks, Turrets, and you can just run on foot if you wish.

THE GAME IS a bit complex when you start. once all the controls have finally settled in, and you understand the map/modes, the game is awesome. And youll never be playing alone, as there are tons of people online at this very moment playing the game.

CONs
-if you dont have a HIGH SPEED network, then the game probably isnt for you
-If you dont have a headset, communication will be hard, granted its not that big of a deal.
-After awhile, what is there to do?

NOW this game is truly detailed, an ok soundtrack, but its amazing how well and smooth the game is. Once youve logged on, the game because amazing.

I would recommend if you enjoy online combat

Pretty Insane!

Whew! That's how you feel after you put down the controller. This is one of those mindblowing games that is so frenetic all the time you can hardly catch your breath. The dogfighting is amazing, graphics look nice, no lag. There are already tons of servers to connect to, so getting in a game is easy. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, but once you do it is balls to wall action. Keep in mind there is no real story here. There is no real campaign to undertake. Some might be turned off by that, but I found that it didn't detract from the overall experience. Historically, I've never been much for online play, but this game may have just changed my mind.

A must have for any Playstation 3 Owner!

I bought a playstation 3 just for this game (of course ill buy others from here on out) and I am so glad I did. I had never played online before and was worried that I might not enjoy it, but the developers made this game SO user friendly. You just keep getting better and better. An extremely fun game, definately worth the $60 bucks.
