SynopsisIn the year 2012, the era of the nation-state is drawing to a close. The nations of the future increasingly have turned to private military companies, also known as PMCs, to aid in their defense. These elite mercenaries provide clear benefits to the nations that engage them, but they also tend to take a rather lax view of the law. Even so, the Reykjavik Accords have authorized the PMCs' right to serve in every aspect of military operations. As the PMCs' role is further legitimized and their influence grows, concerns have begun to mount. Have the PMCs been granted too much power? And, if so, what will the consequences be for the world?Tom Clancy's HAWX puts you in the pilot's seat for revolutionary aerial combat action in an all-too-realistic world of the near-future. Engage in intense high-altitude warfare, complete with cutting-edge technology and devastating firepower. Become an elite pilot of the future through use of the game's unique Enhanced Reality System, which provides a incredibly realistic flight experience, including radars and incoming missile detection, weapons trajectory control, an anti-crash system and more. Take the throttle of more than 50 authentic aircraft as you prove your skills in dogfights over war-scarred modern landscapes. In HAWX, you're at the controls for stunningly rendered air combat.

Incredible game

Do NOT listen to DaveMiami. First there aren't unlimited missiles, and if you don't want a lot of missiles, which I don't see why you wouldn't, then play on elite difficulty. The gameplay is very realistic you CAN see the planes even if you aren't at close range. The story mode is very fun and keeps you interested, cool ranking system. The only problem is that the multiplayer versus has only one mode which is team deathmatch, I guess you can't do to much else since it is a aerial combat game. Overall a very good game.
What's great about it: graphics, story mode, planes, coop
What's not so great: multiplayer only has one mode

AMAZING

This was my first MGS game and it is AWESOME. The main thing with this game that I have noticed is the story mode keeps you interested in what's going on, between all of the cinematics and gameplay this game keeps your interest all the way through. The only real big problem is every time you complete an act you have to wait for it to install the next part, and then after that it does it over, and so on and so forth, but that is the only real problem that I have experienced so far. This game is definately worth the buy.
What's great about it: graphics, gameplay, story, cinematics, etc.
What's not so great: Nothing that I have noticed yet

Pretty good game

Posted by: jakethesnake96

When buying the game it was a good deal since it came with a FREE official headset from Sony. It's got pretty good graphics, and textures but could use improvment. The game's weapon supply needs to grow, even though you get some new weapons as your SOCOM rating goes up. Since this is a multiplayer game only, I think that it should have a wider variety of maps, but it still has a reasonable variety. This is what you are looking for in a multiplayer game.
What's great about it: Customizable character and weapons, graphics, and challenging
What's not so great: Needs more maps for being a multiplayer only game

Call of Duty is back and is awesome

Overall this game is amazing! The story mode is great, and the online is very fun. The only problem with this game is that you can choose what type of match you want to play, but you can't choose what party you want to join when playing online. But overall it is just a typical Call of Duty game. (Awesome)
What's great about it: Story mode is very fun, Online is great, great graphics, great AI enemies.
What's not so great: You can't choose which online match you want to join.

SynopsisBehind the bright lights of Sin City lies a deadly terrorist threat. Return as a member of the elite Rainbow Six squad and end the siege for good. This time you're up against new Artificial Intelligence characters armed with thermal vision, night vision and shields. Fortunately, you have a collection of updated weapons just as lethal. Smaller maps put you in closer proximity with the enemy for more intense face-offs than ever. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 also features two new adversarial modes, added rewards and an improved matchmaking system. Leave the gambling for the casinos and don't take chances with the lives of your fellow Americans. Watch the environment change from dusk to dawn and fight through both days and nights.

In the innovative new Co-op mode, bring a friend in on the action at any time without impacting the story. Select wisely from your arsenal of 11 new weapons, but beware ~ sometimes they won't be enough. That's when you'll need to rely on the intel of thermal scanning and the tactical advantages of leapfrogging. Are you tough enough to see this battle through to the end?

Great Game

When I got this game I was worried because a lot of people had said that the story mode was not good, and the online froze and wasn't very fun. When I played this game I was blown away. The story mode is very interactive and keeps you interested. The online is amazing, it doesn't freeze at all. The only thing that is close to freezing on the online that has happened to me is that it jumps around a little bit when you've been playing it for a while. Stop sitting around looking at what other people say about this game and GET IT!
What's great about it: Good Story Mode, Online, Weapon Selection, Customize Character, Coop Multiplayer.
What's not so great: Sometimes can get a little jumpy when playing online, or when you have been playing for a long time.

Super realistic

I wouldn't have thought to buy this game if it hadn't come with the PS3 that I got, and it was just okay. The graphics are amazing, there are a lot of tracks, and in my opinion the cars, motorcycles, and buggeys/trucks are really cool. I wish that there could be a free race mode so you can race on a track of your choice and not have it be put on your "ticket", and it would be better if there was a split screen multiplayer mode so you could have a local multiplayer session, and not just have to play online multiplayer.
What's great about it: Super graphics, tracks, vehicles
What's not so great: no free race, no split screen multiplayer

This game has very good graphics, gameplay and animations. The only thing is that in the PS2 version you have a dorm in campus legend and has a better summer camp, but the PS3 version does have better off the field activities.

can you use ps2 guitars on the ps3

My son bought a ps3. Can he use the guitar hero guitars from the ps2 on the ps3?
well, you cannot use ps2 guitars on ps3 because the ps2 controller and guitars' plug-ins are different from the normal ps3 USB ports. He could get a USB converter though. Those do cost a pretty high amount.
