Fly with me! or.. err with your friends

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is an arcade flight combat simulator. If you are expecting or have heard that this is a flight simulator, I'm telling you now, it's not. H.A.W.X brings back the old school arcade style of air to air/air to ground combat without any complications that you get from the wide array of flight simulators on the market today. This game provides a simple way to engage enemies from above or below without breaking a sweat (well... sometimes). Although H.A.W.X resembles the ever popular Topgun it offers much more.

I have a very soft spot for things that blow up in the air and an even softer spot for taking a jet in the air. I have loved every game that offers me the sky, and I loved them even more if they allow me to shoot something out of it. Now aside from Topgun, H.A.W.X offers all the things I want with a bonus, amazing graphics and sounds. The great thing about H.A.W.X is that even if your not a hardcore fan of arcade flight combat simulators you'd still like this game. H.A.W.X has a simple interface, a very straight forward combat and flight system. It's doesn't take too much effort to quickly get around in playing H.A.W.X. Sometimes people think that these kinds of games takes some extra effort in getting used to, well it's not. If you can shoot a zombie in L4D or kill a terrorist in CoD then you can definitely shoot a plane in H.A.W.X.

The graphics are well designed allowing a very detailed look on the planes. The only downfall on the graphics is that it focuses mainly on the sky and the planes. The ground work is pretty much rubbish but then again you rarely look and take awe at the ground when your killing enemy planes in the air. A fair warning though, the very fine detail of blurs and then tossing and turning might not suit some players who isn't accustomed to air combat games, so you may feel a little nauseous after a mission or two.
The coup de grace of H.A.W.X is the wide range planes you can unlock throughout the game. There are over 40 planes to discover and unlock. This is a paradise for all those fellow jet plane fenatics out there! The choice of planes ranges from the legendary A-10A to the famous F-22 Raptor. Any jetplane fanatic like me will stare at awe when they see the vast veriety of planes H.A.W.X has to offer, the best part is you can take them to the skies!
