Definitely a solid game. The graphics are really amazing. Has a hard time conecting online & gets a little boring. Every mission starts you then shoot some planes or ground targets... mission over. Then the next starts the same.

When I got TC: HAWX I loved it, sure it's not like Ace Combat 6 or another in the series but it's still a great game never the less. The controls are tight and you can use the six axes or Duel Shock 3 controller for added fun. The Graphics are top notch and flying over real life landmarks is cool. The flight is swift, combat is nail biting and the action is worthy of an Oscar."
What's great about it: Graphics, sounds, music and thrills
What's not so great: No Ace Combat series but it's still good

I don't game, but I grabbed it as a game for my kids when I bought them a PS3 for xmas. They prefer shooters and RPG's so they didn't play it too much. I did a little and thought the graphics were pretty cool. Then again, I don't do too many flight games either. If you like war/flight games, it looks like are fairly realistic game.

Ill start with flight characteristics. You cannot fly slower than 500knots in any plane and when you go from 500 to say 2000 there is absolutely no difference in flight except that its a little harder to turn. When you go 2000 it still seems your are going 500. Dog fighting is non existent as you cannot really even see the other planes unless your really close, even then it seems like a UFO. Unlimited missiles? Give me a break thats so arcadeish! There is 0 sense of realism in this game and it reminds me of a game I played for xbox back in 2000. basically the same exact game but with a little better graphics. Its really hard to explain all the things that are terrible about this game. Bottom line is if you like flying around shooting repetitive targets, puzzling nme formations that would never work on a battle field, and never being able to takeoff or land this game is for you. For ppl who want true simulation pass on this game as it is like every other terrible jet game you have ever bought for PS1 and PS2 and all the other consoles. Trust me, this game is just there for the company to make a quick buck of Clancys name!
What's great about it: Lots of planes
What's not so great: Horrible flight characteristics!

Pretty good PS3 game. The plot is interesting and the graphics are incredible. Flying over Chicago and shooting down fighter planes was fun for me since I live in the city. The multiplayer is ok, nothing too great about it. There are obvious flaws with playing it you will soon see when playing against other teams. I love games like this and this one did not let me down. The only gripe I have is there is a flying mode referred to as Altimeter off you find 1/4 through the game. It supposedly helps you in dogfights with other planes but it's just plain obnoxious. I won't go into detail about it but the game is enjoyable with never using it.
What's great about it: Huge arsenal of planes to choose from and the multiplayer is pretty fun.
What's not so great: Just a typical fighter plane game. The altimeter off mode is just annoying and should not have been added.

To clarify, its a 1 person game up to 16 online, so its not have your friends over kind of game. You unlock new content (more planes & weapon packages via levels). It uses the trophy system & you are able to track the progress of your achievements within the game.
The planes do jitter a little bit, but only if your really snobby do you notice this. There is a little bit of downloadable content, but you will find yourself doing online play after you beat the story mode.
There are 3 different levels of difficulty, but you won't find yourself beating your head on the wall. There are checkpoints throughout the missions so if you die, not everything is lost.
What's great about it: Online play, trophy system, unlockable content
