Manufacturer's Description
The long-awaited remake to the PlayStation hit takes flight on the PLAYSTATION 3 system. In Warhawk, players experience the thrill of white-knuckle aerial combat with hundreds of enemy fighters, bone-crunching armored assaults and high-intensity infantry combat in a massive, all-out war fought both on the ground and in the skies.

During gameplay, players are tasked with protecting their homeland from the invading Chernovan armada. By doing so, players take command of the most advanced war machine in the fleet, the Warhawk, capable of aerobatic dogfights at high speeds or hovering over ground troops providing tactical support. Players continue the battle on foot with an arsenal of weaponry including pistols, rifles, grenades and more. Furthermore, players can gain access to an array of ground vehicles and lay waste with powerful weapons mounted on jeeps, tanks and specialty transports.

The stunning graphics and power of PLAYSTATION 3 set the stage for a truly unique Warhawk universe filled with hundreds of on-screen vehicles and troops, floating battleships, cruisers and carriers, captivating landscapes, destructible cities, and vibrantly detailed environments for both off- and online gameplay.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant
Absolutely amazing game, and graphics are superb, with so much attention to detail, even down to waves rippling in the sea with sunlight reflecting off them.
However, you probably won't have much time to take in the scenery because the gameplay is manic, with guns, equipment and hiding places to find on foot, tanks, jeeps and anti-aircraft guns to climb into and control, and above all, your trusty Warhawk to take to the skies and take-part in the most amazing dogfights yet seen on PS3.
Note that it's online play only, and the only niggle is that the servers are currently so busy you may get exasperated trying to find a game which isn't full. Persevere, however, because once you get online it's the best team-play experience yet. It's the first game to come along to distract me from playing Resistance: Fall of Man. :-)
Buy it, you won't regret it.

Warhawk BETA v1.00
I too have had the opportunity to partake in the US BETA (I am from UK). I must say the game is outstanding.

The maps are huge and plentiful (maybe even more with the games release). There are a number of different game modes to partake in, such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag etc. An arsenal of weaponary, as well 4x4's, Tanks and of course the Warhawks themselves!

Flying does get a bit getting used to, but after around 2 hours of playing i was a pro. Gun turrents highten the experience of flying as you desperately try and dodge missile launchers, flak cannons, tank fire, RPGs, Homing Missiles and the standard Warhawk Rockets, to give a heart pounding non stop action. Alas the rumble feature would have hightened the experience but there is enough action believe me.

If you looking for achievements (to show off when HOME is released this Winter) then look no further than this game. Not only is there a ton of ribbons, badges and medals, but there is different levels of badges to obtain, far surpassing the number of Resistance: Fall of Man medals.

Overall the game is outstanding, and is a must buy, especially since it will be the only game worthy of purchase at its release date!

To sum this review up, IF YOU OWN A PS3, YOU NEED THIS GAME, DON'T BE LEFT OUT

WAR - what is it good for? A cracking game, that's what!
Got my copy this morning, complete with bluetooth head set and couldn't wait to get going. I wasn't sure how good it would be as it is an online only game, but I needn't have worried - this game is ace.

Logs in in to the servers quickly, zero lag and tons of online games such as deathmatch, team death match and capture the flag.

Dog fights, ground assualt, team work, it's all here. At one point I was burning around in a superb 'warhawk' aircraft, the next I'm in a tank supporting my team and chatting through the headset.

It's a game that you just can't put down.

Graphics are top notch and the draw rates are superb, you can see (and shoot at) things that are miles away.

If you're in two minds whther to buy a copy, don't be. A must have game for the PS3.
