    From the awful presentation to the poorly implemented secondary modes (and I didn't even mention the cutscenes that are static images drawn in what looks like Photoshop in about 5 minutes), HAWX 2 for Wii has a solid target-lock on the bargain bin.

    Poor controls and dumb enemies ground this arcade air combat game, making it more chicken than bird of prey.

    Don't know about the HD versions (and don't care really) but the Wii version is a pretty solid arcade offering.
    It's addictive (in a Space Invaders way - wave after wave of enemies), graphics are not that bad, music/effects are OK (killer menu track) and I have no problem with the "static" cut-scenes. (story is not the point here anyways)
    I wonder if IGN played the same game. On-rails arcade shooter...really?!?
