Video Game Reviews of Warhawk (No Headset)
Customer Review: Extremely entertaining multiplayer action!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful and immersive graphics with gigantic playing areas for up to 32 people! You can play as a soldier, tank, jeep, or in a warhawk. Each one has its advantages and drawbacks and the game design prevents any one from being too powerful. Since it is online only, you are tossed into games with players who may be far more skilled than you. Thankfully, you have the option of choosing ranked or non-ranked games so there are places to practice. Once you get confortable, you can play in ranked games to accumulate points which will unlock customization options. Three different modes; capture the flag, zones, and deathmatch keep gameplay from ever being repetitive. And because all players are real people (not computers) every single game is different and has its own characteristics. Steep learning curve, but stick with it. This game is very enoyable once you learn the basics!Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Graphics and game play are pretty sad. We played it for about 30 minutes and haven't played it again. I'd be happy to sell it. Any takers?Customer Review: 4 player split screen multiplayer in air, on feet, on wheels...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very surprised about the depressed review ratings on here. We have played Warhawk since it was launched 7 months or so ago and it is still one of the games that lets us choose the PS3 over our XBOX360(Halo!!!)regularly.
Warhawk is a pure online multiplayer game where you can choose, on various sized maps, what you prefer: battle from air to air, air to ground, tank battles, ssimple 2 feet battle with machine guns... it all mixes together in glorious fun battles.
Choose a shotgun, mine a few tanks, use a flame thrower or jump in a turret to what the Warhawks out of the air (Warhawks are Harrier type planes that can hover like Helis and fly like jets). You can use the sixaxis controller or simple joystick controls.
Nothing is more fun than a battle that has all the varied components at the same time. We use a large 63" HDTV with 4 players online at the same time. This is a blast (much like Halo)as you can have your friends cover you from the air or ground etc. Voicechat with the headsets works great too.
All in all: nothing beats a 4 player online splitscreen experience. It is the biggest thrill to take on others that way or even each other.
You can also play local only by setting a localhosting game. The only thing you cannot do is a 1 player mission.
The game has all the traditionas: zones (capture territories), CTF, Melee etc etc.
What is also woth mentioning is that you can pla from huge 5 mile radius maps to tiny little fortresses with 32 players, i.e. either a sniper, long range bombing war vs crazy stab-fests or anything inbetween.
Warhawk is a must have for anyone that diggs Halo (1, 2 or 3). 4 player split screen is a must have. The variety is a mt have. The game does not get old, it gets better as you start to memorize maps and find weapons.
It lags Forge mode but they have broughtout the Omega factory map that comes with the huge flying fortress which is insanely fun to bring down.
WARHAWK RULES, SIR YESSIR.
PS, REGARDING THE HEADSET VERSION: You do not need it if you have a Bluetooth headset lying around. Any bluetooth headset seems to work and 20$ for a crappy headset is not worth the money. Get yourself a 9$ BT headset on dealextreme or so if you really want one.
Customer Review: good game but missing teamwork features
Summary: 3 Stars
Warhawk is a good game, but its lack in team work features fails. The VOIP comes in clear 80% of the time but the problem is you can't add buddys to find them on the battlefieldCustomer Review: If it only had single player mode
Summary: 3 Stars
This isn't a full review by any means, I simply would like to make a few quick observations.
Even though I rarely survive for more than a minute when playing warhawk, I will say this game is a lot of fun, and offers a lot in terms of replay value. As long as there are people playing warhawk online, your money will be well spent.
Now, to get to my gripes.
The biggest, and foremost problem I have when playing this game is the lack of a single player mode. It's not much to complain about, but it REALLY sucks to stick yourself into all the action this game has to offer without having a clue what you're doing. I think for some players, (myself included) playing warhawk for the first time with a bunch of people online (who likely play this game religiously) can be an EXTREMELY frustrating experience! Single player would have been great for those who want to polish up their skills before jumping into the online world of warhawk.
A much smaller issue I have is not being able to play in first person view mode. It's only a small annoyance, but trying to precisely fire a weapon in the third person view tends to be a little more disorienting in my opinion. This isn't a deal breaker, but having an option to change viewpoints would be nice.
