    A Game which has had a lot of polarised reviews lately. 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.

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

    I don't see how ubi soft thought it would be a good idea to limit the number of choices we had in the campaign. The first Hawx allowed you to choose what plane and what weapons pack before each mission, this story forces you to use what they want. If you replay missions that will change in some cases. The addition of custom weapon packs was awesome but the work you have to do to get themI don't see how ubi soft thought it would be a good idea to limit the number of choices we had in the campaign.

The addition of custom weapon packs was awesome but the work you have to do to get them is a little much. The game play is alright but outside of the addition of the AC-130 mission this game falls short of what the first HAWX accomplished. If you want a good, cheap, entertaining flyer get the first Hawx.… Expand

    Overall HAWX 2 tries to build on the solid foundations laid by the original game by adding more variety, but ultimately it fails to recreate the action packed feeling the first game did so well and simply doesn't make the same impact.

    An improvement on the first game, but this still lacks the variety and thrills to be considered a true top gun.

    Hawx 2 is an entertaining flight action game with great graphics, control and variations of missions. Unfortunately the game is also dragged by bugs and a few dull missions. In general the game is fun and offers good variation of action. If only the story was better and the flaws had been ironed out it could have been the best action flight game so far – in gaming history.
