    Online multiplayer that includes (upto) 4 player splitscreen. YES. Singlescreen multiplayer is great, but it's much more fun with two guys and a sixpack against the rest of the world.

    Great game, single player campaign was better than average, but where it really shines is the multiplayer mode. IIf this just had multiplayer as the only way to play, it would still be worth 60$ (40$ download). They way the clouds look and the planes, just an amazing experience.

In closing: if you have a PS3, and have an online connection, buy this game. Stacks up with the best multiplayer games out there, and is easily the best online experience you're going to get with the next-gen consoles thus far.… Expand

    So far so good. I am only crying for rolling and more guns. Flying is way funnier than in battlefield, but ofc not so good as on simulators. As on riflemen its really fun too, there is little autoaim and its very easy to move and aim. Im looking forward to patching and maybe we will get more jets and vehicles!

    Certainly the best game with multiplayer for the PS3. I actually like it better than the Halo series because the vehicles actually work well. I bouth the download version so I can't comment on the headset but I'd say it's totally worth the money.

    The best game I have ever played in nearly 30 years of gaming. The game play is fast paced and extremely addictive.

The game play is fast paced and extremely addictive. The learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of the game you will be hooked. Anything can happen in this game like swooping down in a plane and ramming an opponent who is driving a jeep and launching the jeep 30 yards in to the air into a mountain side or off a cliff into the water hundreds of yards below. You can also ride on the wing of an ally's plane since it can hover like a helicopter and snipe enemies from the clouds. The best part of the game however are the intense battles that utilize conventional methods of taking out enemies with a large number of weapons and vehicles. I've put in about 320 hours on the game and i know people who have played more than 1500 hours. This game doesn't get old and had the potential to be an epic masterpiece for Sony.… Expand

    I love this game...Easily the best online 3rd person shooter available for the PS3. I would even say that Warhawk even beats Call of Duty in some aspects. Great game!

    First of all, to those who would diss the graphics.. remember that it was made two years ago, and was one of the first major online PSN games. If you are having the troubles "This Game Sucks" had, then why not try playing on a smaller map? ;) Another note on the graphics: they work very well.

I mean, imagine if the went for hyper-realistic, as in Call of Duty. I just can't picture and F-16 in this game, because it doesn't fit. It's got graphics that go perfectly with the game. The balance of battles is perfect. Air superiority is a must, just like real battles. Good soldiers is a must, again very real. Also, to those who would try to compare it to Halo or COD... don't. That's like comparing... well, and XBOX and PS3. They're just different.… Expand

    The best and complete online experience so far ever done. Great graphics and sound, perhaps a little bit chaotic but you can rest for a while in one of the safe zone of your teams as shown on the map. Sure it's pure arcade there's not a real simulation...but it's so fun !! A must buy !

    I'm so glad they concentrated on the multiplayer aspect here. This game rocks. I don't agree at all with the balancing issue that PSM has stated. The game is very well balanced, and a blast to play.

    Awesome multiplayer game!! Beautiful graphics, killer sound, air and ground vehicles, flexible and intuitive controls, very balanced weapons and combat, massive maps, scalable maps, multiple game types, easy server hosting, no lag, fast paced action, retail version comes with a bluetooth headset.

    $40.00 too much? Heck no, This is the best $40 I have ever spent on a game over 20 years of playing games. This game is easy to pick up and play for anyone, after a couple of hours getting familiar with everything you will be hooked! I have logged over 80 hours with Warhawk and I am amazed at how I am constantly having to change my battle tactics to be victorious which makes this game $40.00 too much?

Plan to stay up late every night just to play one more game, and then one more after that, and on and on!… Expand

    This is definitely one of the best online games ever. True, it's online only but the online portion kicks major @$$. The most fun I've had all year, and that's all that matters.

    It is one of the best games I've ever played. If you enjoy the excitement and the intensity of being in a battlefield, Warhawk is the best game for you.

    With a new sci-fi setting, transformable mechs and some brand new RTS mechanics, the original Warhawk formula has definitely grown up but all this novelty come for a price.

    It's fun enough, but even with the headset, it's too expensive for a game that you cannot play by yourself, and its balancing issues severely limit what you can do in the game. [Oct 2007, p.77]

    It's not easy to create a multiplayer game that's utterly accessible to first-timers and yet varied enough to have serious legs.
