Warhawk

Warhawk

Genre: Third Person Shooter/Arcade

PS3

The developer of this game is Incognito Entertainment. This company also made the popular series of Twisted Metal.

Warhawk is about a war between 2 nations: Eucadia and Chernova. There isn’t much to say about this war, since we don’t know the background of this war. You’re simply dropped right within it.

The game only has a multiplayer option, so you can’t practise in single player mode. However, there is a training mode, but you have to shoot some robots and they don’t shoot back, so that is nothing like fighting other players.

Warhawk is a flying arcade game, but next to the Warhawk, which has 9 different weapons, there are more vehicles to your disposal, like the tank or Jeep. The Jeep has 3 seats: The driver, the gunner (he uses a stationary machinegun on the back of the jeep) and the passenger. If you got some extra money, you can buy the expansion packs via the Playstation Store. With these expansions you can use some more vehicles like the APC, a troop carrier (plane) or even a jetpack.

You can fight on foot too of course, with 9 different weapons, like the ordinary machine-gun or a flame-thrower. You can also call in air strikes with the binoculars.

If this is nothing for you, you could try to blow some Warhawks(planes) out of the air with the anti-air turret or the SAM or kill some soldiers with the stationary machine-gun.

When you show that you’re a good player, you’ll acquire various ribbons, badges and medals. When acquiring ribbons you’ll receive bonus points. For every kill you get 1 point. You also get points for taking over enemy bases and capturing the enemies flag or cores. There are 20 ranks going from recruit to general. When you get promoted, you’ll earn a new outfit. Sometimes you’ll need medals or badges too for getting a promotion.

There are 6 different game types: Team death match, death match, capture the flag, zones (capture enemy bases), Collect (collect cores and bring them back to your base) and hero (1 player from each team is a superhero for 1 minute and is hard to kill. Each kill the hero makes is 1 point for the team. When the hero dies someone else takes over his place). There is a extra CTF mode: Flying CTF. In this mode you may use warhawks to return the enemies flag to your base. There also is a dogfight mode, so you're only fighting with warhawks. You can dogfight in TDM or DM.

The graphics of this game aren’t bad, but since this game is one of the first PS3 exclusives so they didn’t use the capabilities of the PS3 to the fullest yet. Warhawk was the first game that was available on the Playstation Store and on Blue-ray disc. The game saw the light in the third quarter of 2007.

However, this game has one big issue; every game suffers from this: Laggy servers. In other games you won't notice the lag that easily, but in this game you'll notice it very easily. So try and throw your grenades in the direction you think your enemy is walking and you will kill him.

But if you don't care about the lag or you can look past my complaints about this game, then this game is something for you! So, if you own a PS3, and you have some money on your account, don’t hesitate to buy this game via Playstation Store. The game isn’t very expensive, so check it out!
