Warhawk Description

Although it's named after the PSone game - featuring derring-do - you should not confuse Warhawk's mix of online, multi-player, third-person, shootin', flyin', grenadin' fun with anything old-gen. Don't confuse it with being a single-player experience either - it's not. Warhawk has to be played either on four-player, split-screen locally, or with up to 32 players online. You can even set your own PS3 up as a server, leaving you to control the maps, the map rotations, elements such as spawning times, death match, team death match, capture the flag and other combat features. Developer Incognito has taken the idea of rushing around rich landscapes and blowing the living hell out of the opposition to a logical and immensely immersive and, most of all, fun conclusion. From jeeps to the airborne Warhawk planes themselves, everything is easy to get the hang of. The vehicles - all of which can transport you and your colleagues into the pits of hellish fighting - are not the whole of it, though. You've got a range of weapons, including rocket launchers, sniper rifles, mines, flame throwers and a horrendously effective B.F. Knife to master. Get yourself a Blue Tooth or USB headset and you can also communicate with your comrades in arms as you battle across a variety of landscapes, earning points and - if you're on a Ranking Server - levelling up. Combining intense combat action with community (read: Clan) features, Warhawk manages to get really push the PlayStation 3 online.

At first, I didnt like this game and I found it really hard to get used to. But it grew on me and I started to like it, especialy flying around shooting down helpless soldiers running for shelter, and sneaking around in enemy territory with a knife, ready to backstab any unsuspecting soldiers wondering around trying to find an unoccupied warhawk to hop into. But I gets boring after about a week or two. I would reccomend renting, but I woud'nt buy it.

Awfully designed concept. From what I gather there is no means whatsoever of honing your skills in a single player campaign. Instead you recieve some incredibly brief 'training' and told to go online where you could be playing against beginers such as yourself or absolute veterans. Would definately not recommend.
