    Awesome, takes a little getting used to

    Despite what so many people want to say, this is not Ace Combat 6, nor was it designed to be that way. You are fighting over real world locations in some very plausible situations. The assistance OFF mode takes some getting used to, but once you play it awhile and understand what they're going for it's great and it allows you tremendous freedom of movement. Personally, one of the first things I look for in a game is the online coop capabilities, and HAWX has jump-in, jump-out coop, which means you can join a friend in mid fight and still achieve the same goals. Too many games treat coop as some weird stepchild instead of making it fully interactive. I have been playing the demo with friends since the day it came out and we are all now working to invent a time machine to get to the launch faster. It is not a traditional flight sim by any means. It's designed for quick, consistent action. I have the AC6 flight stick that I have been using with it and it works great. I have also ordered the HAWX stick, which is the same design as the Saitek Aviator and it should be here by monday. When using a flight stick you really have an unparalleled level of precision when it comes to the control of your plane and it's AWESOME! You are also working inside the story of other Tom Clancy games, (Ghost Recon AW 2 and EndWar) so I feel that they did a great job of integrating this so that you feel like you are in the middle of a much larger war instead of fighitng for a country you have never heard of against pilots with cheesy names and even cheesier dialogue. (go dance with the angels in Gracemeria, you'll get my drift.)

    This game is going to be awesome for many reasons...first, its a Tom Clancy game (Duh), two, its not just aerial battles but ground protection of troops (real to life scenerios). third, graphics and details are sweet. Download this and find out why its so good. Cannot wait.

    Another great game from Ubisoft/Tom Clancy

    I wanted to start of by saying that the graphics on this game are excellent. As far as the game play is concern, it's too easy even on the hardest setting. The controls are similar to the Ace Combat series. Except for button A is for shooting missles, button B is for the cannon and the D pad is for the missle selections. You rank up faster if you complete the challenges in the campaign & on-line mode (just like any other game). What I noticed is that all the matches now takes place in the "Player Match". Not too many people are playing the "Rank Match". Speaking of on-line, it lags. It doesn't happen that often though. It is a fun game overall.

    I just got finished playing the DEMO on Xbox 360 and this game is amazing. I thought it was going to be challenging and it was at first but by the second time I played the DEMO I was much better at it. This game is a game you should get if you like planes, flying, or shooting.

    I say this is by far one of the best flying games I have played in a long time. The graphics are amazing, and the sound effects really add that little extra boost. The controls are pretty user friendly, when you turn assistance off it becomes a little tricky, but nothing a little practice won't take care of. I think the story line for this game is awesome. I usually end up liking Tom Clancy games but usually hate flying games. Haex has definitely changed my mentality for flying games in the future. Simply put, I had a blast playing this game.

    Overall its a great game. Most levels are really hard especially when you have to save a troop, they usually just die. It is easy to shoot missiles which is a good thing. I would strongly recommend you play this on Xbox Live

    Great game overall. Graphics are amazing and all the scenery is awsome. Each aircraft looks and handle differently. Only thing that is missing is the occassional landing whether its carrier based or land based or even an ariel refueling. Lots of different aircraft to unlock and choose from. Overall a must have for aviation enthusiasts like me

    I really like the looks of this game. It looks great. And the kind of third person look is cool but kind of hard to control. graphics are good like i said above. I have gotten to play this game a little on a demo. overall it is very good and you should buy it.

    Best fighter game ever!

    This game is amazing in almost every way, i think that they should have used cooler looking jets, there are some but some others look kinda weird, but otherwise this game is everything you are looking for in a jet fighter game.

    Why would someone work for a PMC anyways?

    HAWX can best be described as a flight simulator developed by a creative artist and an avid fan of the Ace Combat series. Ace Combat certainly does a decent job with its controls and such, but the inherent issue with the dogfight in it has only one reliable method of fighting: turn fights. Sadly, HAWX does not really improve on that issue. In the flight mode, Assistance ON and OFF change the view between cockpit view and a distance view. In this mode, the plane is (or at least seems) much more agile and capable as a dogfighter, but is difficult to control. The plane never is able to line up correctly with its target because it is hard to tell when it will be line, or the plane will roll farther than necessary. If you want to experience flying, get the demo, play it thru three or four times, then jump of a cliff. at least that would be more exciting.

    Amazing game

    I cant really say much about it because the demo doesnt provide much information but it provides enough to get a basic idea of it. I think that the gameplay is outstanding, they teach you how to do everything with the jet and you can also buy weapons for the jet. I think you either buy or unlock jets to fly in as you get farther into the campaign or just by leveling up. Online you can get into a dogfight with many other players. For the Demo it has a good campaign which is just the training and then to defend the city from an invasion. The graphics are very good as well as it is fun to play and the difficulty is not so hard that you cant beat the game.

    The price is very low and really cool to use with the flight simulator. I bought this as a gift for my brother, but I find myself playing it a lot on his xbox too. Good, fun game!

    The Best air warefare game ever!!!!

    When i played the first level on my 1080p HI-Definition t.v. i was blown away. The graphics of this game are the best i have ever seen! This game blows ace combat 6 out of the air! The flying of the aircraft is very real, and you have the option to take flight assist off, which allows you to take your aircraft to the limit. There are many different models of the best and modern aircraft in the 21st century. This game is amazing.

    Ace Combat 6 rip off

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm a big fan of flight games like Hawx. But it seems to much like Ace combat 6. Story seems the same I even found a few lines that were the same "we'er busy dancing up here". They have this HUDless mode that lets u turn on a dine and yes it is fun but some times the camara keeps u looking one way so u can't see your target. also there is a minor delay when flying in the normal 3rd person mode. It's not bad but can make you sea sick. If your a flight fan like me go buy Ace Combat 6.
