This is a flight simulator for people who can’t be bothered with the technicalities of flying a plane. The dials, switches and gauges on your dashboard are for show only – it’s an arcade game designed to get you into the action with as little fuss as p...

As Maverick from Top Gun would say, You dont have time to think up there
If you think, youre dead. Its the sort of thing that a man piloting a F-14 Tomcat that costs around $38 million US dollars shouldnt be saying. But despite Val Kilmers hair...

H.A.W.X. 2 is a competent arcade flier that shakes a few things up but doesn't do quite enough to transcend its genre...
Beautiful to look at thanks to satellite mapping, an enjoyable multiplayer experience, easy to jump into and play, good enemy AI.
Air combat gets tired, annoying friendly AI, weak narrative.

We gamers can be a picky bunch. Some players write off sports games altogether even though they haven’t played one since NBA Jam was considered cutting-edge. Others sneer at JRPGs even though they don’t know what those letters stand for. But for more s...
With its interesting mission variety and engrossing dogfights, H.A.W.X. 2 has the potential to entertain both military buffs and those looking for something a little different. 8.2/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this pageNoticed something wrong? Re...

H.A.W.X. 2Flight games on consoles are sometimes Air Crash Investigation worthy because trying to crack that elusive PC simulator market is easier said than done. Generally, the graphics are there but when they attempt to add realism into the mix, thin...

Ubisoft takes to the skies with their latest high-tech flight-combat sequel, H.A.W.X.2. Recently, there has been a lull in the aerial combat genre so this was a welcome addition to my gaming library, at least in theory. I certainly enjoyed the first ga...

There were a lot of things that I liked about the first Tom Clancy’s HAWX game, and all together I feel that this series is certainly a worthy adversary to Namco’s longer-running “Ace Combat” series, and really perhaps in many ways superior to it. Of c...

That fighter jets firing up their afterburners will forever, indelibly be associated with Top Gun is a fact that seemingly hasn't gone over Ubisoft Romania's head for HAWX 2. It might not have the bombast and '80s synth of that movie, but it does have...

In air combat terms, the word furball is used to describe a densely populated dogfight. You'll find yourself in plenty of furballs in Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, and for the most part, they're tense, exciting, and rewarding. But these furballs don't always go...
Exciting aerial combat, Looks great from the air, Good multiplayer options, Plenty of different planes to fly.
Uneven enemy AI, Looks bad closer to the ground, Some poor collision detection, Nonfighter missions are hit and miss.
Dogfights in HAWX 2 can be exciting, but some dodgy AI and lackluster missions stop this game from being an air combat ace...

I don’t hate flying games, I hate the way they make me feel. No, I don’t feel nauseous when I play, I feel inadequate, like I am an idiot. Why? Because using a gamepad to fly is hard. On top of that, this game in particular, has a checkpoint system tha...

Flying the familiar skies.I will be the first one to admit that I am not a flying game kind of guy. The original H.A.W.X. game was never really on my radar until it ended up being price-reduced at a ridiculous sale. Amazingly I ended up loving the game...

While I dont necessarily subscribe to the old adage if man were meant to fly, he would have been given wings, playing Tom Clancys HAWX 2 has made me seriously rethink this decision. Much like the issues Icarus had with his wings made of wax and fe...

I pull back on the stick and slam my throttle forward, gaining as much altitude and distance as I can, but it's not working. There are six MiGs on my ass, all with active locks and an endless supply of missiles that seem just a little more accurate tha...
H.A.W.X. 2 is a difficult game to assign a score to, because in effect, it's a pair of experiences. If you're a controller-packing player looking for a fun action game, H.A.W.X. 2 is coming out at the worst possible time, as there are far more interest...

Aerial combat games are steeped in a history that goes all the way back to the mid-80s: from arcade games like After Burner and Top Gun to flight sims such as F-15 Strike Eagle and Gunship, this genre was once a valuable cornerstone of the games indust...
Beyond missions that are a touch more variable and slightly better attuned to the story, it's hard to see where HAWX 2 improves over its predecessor. The first game struggled to rise above its own monotonous gameplay and this tedium is only amplified b...

Ever since Top Gun tore up the skies in 1986 and made us all feel the need for speed, getting to sit inside the cockpit of a high-velocity fighter plane became a boyhood dream of ours. Then we found out that you need to be short, good at maths and hard...
