    Disappointed

    As a fan of Air/Ace combat,  I was looking forward to playing H.A.W.X for the 360.  Once I popped in my game I then turned my attention to the Exclusive Content section in the menu.  After unlocking a free plane from tying my gamertag to ubisoft, the game automatically reboots.  So the game freezes right before the game prompts me to choose where to save my game.  So I'm like ok I turn off my 360 and try again,  it freezes again.  So I say forget it, I'll just skip the free planes. 

    I start the campaign on easy.  I then notice the game is set to inverted controls. which means when I press down I go and vice versa.  So I press up and I go up.  Is it just me or when I turn normal controls on, it's inverted.  So I make sure the controls are normal.  After backing up a few helpless squads on the ground in the first level I find the controls for this game are the challenging part, not the enemy.  Also targeting is a breeze as all I have to do is wait for a beep and a red reticle to appear.  my first impressions of this game wasnt what I thought it was going to be.  I wasnt having fun.  the graphics are pretty and the models of the planes are nice. 

    So I try going online in matchmaking.  The online is nice but I quicky got bored and frustrated with the controls yet again.  Sure I got a few kills but again I wasnt having fun.  I've yet to ry coop so,  I guess my review is somewhat incomplete.   Also this is by no means a flight sim, it's arcade and even with the assistance mode off,  the camera is very wobbley. This game is at best a rental.

      Despite the lukewarm reception this game has gotten, it exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed it.  Good:100 MILLION DOLLAR SATELLITE!? Graphically, the game is great.  Both the aircraft and the landscape look terrific, and I really wonder what satellite technology they used for the ground...Ranks, the game has a great ranking system in place, each kill gives you experience points which is totaled at the end of each mission.  Each level you earn unlocks new missions, aircraft, and weapon load-ou...

      A Blast to Play, but not worth the RRP 0

        Tom Clancy is the man for near future military action. If his name is on the book/games/film you can tell it will be a least way half decent. Does H.A.W.X. match up to this standard? H.A.W.X. is a arcade style flight combat game from Ubisoft Romania, those fine fellows who brought us Blazing Angels. And this shows, as the game handles very similarly. The A button is fire missiles, B is cannon, right trigger is accelerate and left trigger brakes. Oh and entering the Konami code allows you...
