Very fun game

This game is fun, good clean fun. My friends and I love to play this and the online library is pretty extensive.
If you have anymore than 4 people to play though it gets boring fast for those not playing. Plus the music is like $2 per song to buy it off the online music library. Kind of a ripoff IMO as it's only used on the game. It's not like you can store it on your computer or anything.
The graphics aren't anything to get excited about. You're concentrating on the notes anyway so you don't have time to look around.
The rocker design is fun too. It can get pretty detailed and you can see the changes you make to your guy when you are playing.
The drums are a little small for a grown man so that can get uncomfortable as that is my fav instrument to play. But all in all, a great experience.
What's great about it: Very addicting game for a group of people.
What's not so great: It gets old if you are just playing by yourself. Also music is pricey online.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great game!!!!

Fantastic game. Let me say that again, fantastic game. The graphics are beautiful, especially the San Francisco level. But the real gem here is the multiplayer. There are two modes, cooperative and competitive. Cooperative is the most fun IMO as you are on a team of up to 8 fighting Chimera. They recently introduced a "hard" mode for co-op where the Chimera are much stronger and tougher. If you haven't played this yet, go out and get it right now and try it. You won't regret it.
What's great about it: Excellent graphics. Multiplayer is extremely fun.
What's not so great: Nothing really. Plot was a litle hard to understand at first.

Let me start off by saying I love RPG games and bought this really having high hopes for it. I was sorely dissapointed. This game feels half finished.
When playing online with others that is fun, but the game lost my save data twice. I was only like lvl 15 both times so it wasn't a huge deal but if I was like 150 or something, I'd go bananas.
The graphics are just terrible. For a PS3 game, they should be ashamed. The fighting is boring. You build up these "super moves" but they are lame and seem to be ineffective. Not to mention that whole aspect of the game isn't really explained anywhere in the manual or game. If you are looking for a fun RPG to grind away the hours, look elsewhere. There are much more deserving games to play.
What's great about it: Playing with others online is a cool feature.
What's not so great: Very glitchy. Graphics are terrible. Plot makes no sense.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.

Pretty fun game

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

does best buy guaranty that the maxell lens cleaner will help ps3 problem of not reading disk?

No they do not. I asked for a guaranteed lens cleaner for my PS3 and I was told they cannot guarantee any of them and can't return it once I use it. So I'd look for other options.
