When it's actually running, HAWX seems like a decent Ace Combat-style plane game.
Once I get past the game's intro movie and hit the title screen, upon hitting start, the 360 makes a noise like it's attempting to open up the "pick your save location" window, but the window never comes and the game just sort of dies at the title screen.
I've booted up the game a total of four times so far. The first two attempts were crashes, but the third time was the charm, letting me get in and actually play (where there were no further problems). Now, coming back for more today, my fourth boot crashed. This fourth attempt came after installing the game to the 360's hard drive, the other three were off the disc.
After griping about it a bit on Twitter, I only found one other person with the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be happening to every single HAWX owner out there. But I'm curious to hear about how widespread it actually is.
So, if you've picked up HAWX, how is it running? Is it running at all?
As for me, I'm going to get back to reviewing Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, which is... not a great game. So far, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is both a better and a funnier third-person shooter.
Its one of the reasons why I like console games vs PC games. Empire Total War is Soooooooooooooo buggy its criminal they charge people to play it.
Im guessing you'll need to phone MS soon for another repair, just make sure you complain if its more than one week to get your "free game or controller" xD
Hope you get it sorted.
I hate them.
@Killdave - the technical problems with Empire are due to Steam, of which they've already fixed the majority of the cases and are quickly getting out patches for the rest. DOW2 had similar issues and was fully patched in less than a week. It has nothing to do with the developers.
