    Look beyond the shoddy exterior and there's a surprisingly rich and varied arcade flyer. [Christmas 2010, p.58]

    This is a decent game which lacks some improvements, specially more game modes and multiplayer options.

    A missed opportunity. Some issues in the gameplay, as well as seriously bad graphics, completely spoil the experience.

    From the awful presentation to the poorly implemented secondary modes (and I didn't even mention the cutscenes that are static images drawn in what looks like Photoshop in about 5 minutes), HAWX 2 for Wii has a solid target-lock on the bargain bin.

  1. Don't know about the HD versions (and don't care really) but the Wii version is a pretty solid arcade offering.

    aders way - wave after wave of enemies), graphics are not that bad, music/effects are OK (killer menu track) and I have no problem with the "static" cut-scenes. (story is not the point here anyways)
    I wonder if IGN played the same game. On-rails arcade shooter...really?!?
