    I really didn't enjoy this game. I bought it mainly for the Multi-player but gave the campaign a shot too. The Multi-player is weak. The guns are far too simple and lack any punch whatsoever. The campaign is quite good fun, but way too linear and voice acting is elementary. The building aspect - which all the magazines talk about as the best thing since slice bread - becomes very old veryI really didn't enjoy this game.

The Mulitplayer maps are either far too large or far too small. 2/10.… Expand

    The long and short of it is that the single player is brief and uninspired, but worth a rental at the very least. The multiplayer was seemingly designed for greifers and between them and players who don't have a clue what they're doing, finding the fun is nigh impossible. Even people who enjoy the multiplayer will tell you it has problems.

    Starhawk is one of the best multiplayer shooters that I have played mainly for its strategic build and battle gameplay. The gameplay style truly brings a lot more to the usual online multiplayer gameplay that is found in other games.

    The disappointment stems from the notion that it could have been truly great, but a few design decisions and strange lag keep it from achieving that.

    Starhawk is building a strong reputation as THE online title for PS3 players. [Aug 2012, p.72]
