   at first i thought it was silly because the missions seemed to be a bunch of training-wheels BS, but when you get to the second half of theat first i thought it was silly because the missions seemed to be a bunch of training-wheels BS, but when you get to the second half of the game or so the missions begin to really kick your ass. needless to say the graphics, controls, and technical detail are OUTSTANDING, but give the missions some time. you'll see why it was somewhat easy in the beginning...… Expand

   First off,I have to commend Ubisoft for not just making the first game,but for making a sequel also,in what some would consider a niche genreFirst off,I have to commend Ubisoft for not just making the first game,but for making a sequel also,in what some would consider a niche genre of game.Though it is a niche genre,many peoplethough seem to want this kind of game,& more of them(I'm one of them).The single best thing that can be said of both titles,is the 4-player Campaign Co-Op.This had never been done in any flight game to my knowledge,certainly on console(Ace Combat 6 doesnt have 'Campaign' Co-Op,just some lazy half baked 'Side mode' Co-Op challenges.This on its own makes the game astounding,& many people had been crying out for this since,well,forever.. So Kudos to you Developers for that,& also listening to feedback from the first game,& included much wanted features like night missions,Precision Bombing,Taxiing,Take off's & landings(carrier landings also),In flight re-fueling & the need to replenish weapons,& custom weapon loadouts.ALL fantastic features! Now onto the negatives.Although the handling & physics have been significantly improved over Hawx1,Its still not perfect.It doesnt have to be 'totally' realistic on the physics,that it would take the fun out of it.If you want to see a good exaple of the perfect balance,play Ace Combat 6 on the 360.The planes actually feel like they have weight to them,& are being affected by gravity.Another gripe i have with Hawx 2,is the much vaunted 'Using Drones'.I thought they might be controlable/movable,while in your plane,to find & mark targets,much like in Gost Recon-Advanced Warfighter,but what we got,was specific drone missions.This didnt work at all.. I found them quite laborious & tedious.Even the C130 Spectre parts.No one understandably wants to do them when playing Co-Op,for said reasons,& just gets in the way of the actual flying in the campaign.i would rather(& i'm sure i speak for the majority here),that we'd have had more missions in the **** these drone missions.So if theres a Hawx3,please dont bother with it.just give us more **** missions.Also,not EVERY mission has to be a 'All or Nothing,Save the World,Revelation of a mission'.We play these games for the fun of it,not for just for the plot.Most flyers would like to see 'everyday' missions thrown in,such as Combat Air Patrols,featuring Mid Air & ground Refueling,& of course some combat,not missions that are part of some big scenario,but just simple combat missions.Would also add much longevity to the campaign too.If it wasnt for the intrusive drone missions,& short number of **** missions,i'd have given this a 9 or 10.If we do get a Hawx3(I hope we do)& you take the ideas i mentioned into consideration,then you really will have an Ace Combat Killer on your hands(& a perfect score from me).Also,can we also change camera view,without having to do it through the menu,Thanks.… Expand

We came to the conclusion that this was a massive improvement upon the original - which is no doubt a great step in the right direction should we see a third installment to the HAWX series. We also agreed that this game is not an Ace Combat 6 beater when it comes to the "awesome arcade fun!" category. But we also feel that an aircraft fan would not be disappointed by what he or she saw in this game. Full customisation and a VERY large hanger of planes make it actually a fine experience both online and offline. Our only criticism really was the annoying AI insists upon staying behind you spamming you with rockets and you find yourself unable to break away. If you try then you both just end up going around in circles all day along until you get bored and fly off....the process then starts again!… Expand

   For something that touts it self as "Authentic" you'd expect more fidelity to the subject matter.

Multi-million dollar aircraft feel and handle more like an $70 Ready-to-fly RC airplane.
   
   Not much else to say about it other than "Bad, bad, very bad."… Expand
