    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 HAWX 2 looks like a soulless game: it's an ok flight combat sim, but it lacks a compelling story and missions.
  3. 73
    Playing HAWX 2 is still as accessible and arcade-centric as ever, meaning that it's uncomplicated, if slightly throwaway fun. Settling in for a long session with the game can be interminable stuff though, so we'd recommend tackling HAWX 2 in small sittings.
  4. 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.

  1. You can't trust any reviews that give this game a 0! The game is not broken and plays well with very few bugs, so there is no way a score of 0 is fair even if you didnâ Expand

  3. A Game which has had a lot of polarised reviews lately. We came to the conclusion that this was a massive improvement upon the original - which is no doubt a great step in the right direction should we see a third installment to the HAWX series. We also agreed that this game is not an Ace Combat 6 beater when it comes to the "awesome arcade fun!" category. But we also feel that an aircraft fan would not be disappointed by what he or she saw in this game. Full customisation and a VERY large hanger of planes make it actually a fine experience both online and offline. Our only criticism really was the annoying AI insists upon staying behind you spamming you with rockets and you find yourself unable to break away. If you try then you both just end up going around in circles all day along until you get bored and fly off....the process then starts again! Expand
  4. This game has a potential, which is wasted in enemies. Later in the game there are guys with infinite Infrared flares and they turn like a bird which makes it impossible to shoot them down. The name Drachev in the game makes you angry cuz its repeated 50x throughout the mission "Hey this is DRACHEEEV IM BEING SHOT!" "Got it Drachev were helping you" "This is DRACHEEEV where the **** is that air support?!" "Drachev, hold on!""" Etc! UAV missions are pretty boring, AC-130 was pretty good and theres no optioin of first person Expand
