    If you're on the lookout for a great flight game, look no further. H.A.W.X. 2 is the best game of its kind and will keep you wannabe pilots busy for weeks to come.
  2. Tom Clancy's: H.A.W.X. 2 tries to introduce some variety but the new missions will bore dogfighting fans. It's still a fun game, anyway, especially if played online with some friends, and graphically it's a solid title.
  3. The flying itself is what matters most and despite the drawbacks, you'll still feel your palms getting sweaty during some of the more dynamic, challenging missions. That being said, the AI spikes halfway through, the control can be iffy during specific actions, the graphics are a little inconsistent, and the special non-flying objectives don't quite cut the mustard.
  4. While there is a ton of content in this game between all of its modes, all but the missions that take you out of the cockpit play out similarly (take out this target, destroy these planes, and repeat).

    This game is fun as hell! I've been waiting for this since I finished H.A.W.X. 1. 2 lives up to my expectations and then some. I played through the single player and am now playing the multiplayer nightly. The matches are fierce. It's awesome to vie against fellow gamers in head to head fights. I'm having a good time and will keep playing online for a long time. Well worth the purchase. Expand
  2. tom clancy's hawx 2 is a very interesting flight sim which has kept me occupied since I bought it on Saturday. it has a very complex and thrilling storyline which is a real challenge on expert unlike it's predecessor. also the multiplayer isn't great but it is satisfactory. Expand
  3. i prob seem like a ubisoftaphile for liking this and ruse so much but these are the only kinds of games i think are worth buying. there are too many arcadey stupid games coming out these days that don't have the depth of serious, solid narratives connect to real wars or at least realistic wars. realistic war technology and realistic difficulty (you just jump in and control the plane it take some getting use to). this game is really fun and really challenging and will last you a long time, def check it out. and yes, it lives up to ace combat and if you're thinking about getting either one they're both good but different, check them both out. :) Expand
  4. Back in the day I used to be a flight sim junkie on PC. Then consoles got way cheaper thaqn PCs and Hawx2 was my first flight game in a long long long time. The aircraft graphics are good, but beyond that reality flies straight out of the window and vanishes into the distance. Hawx2 is to 'F16 Fighting Falcon' what Doom is to 'Operation Flashpoint'. Once I got used to my F18 carrying 96 (or whatever) missiles and got into the game its great fun for a five minute airborne deathmatch, but please can't someone release a real flightsim on console?
