Just got the demo on my Xbox.

Pretty good, mostly. The outside super control mode is hopelessly annoying, as it the inability to look downwards in the cockpit. Assist mode? Yeah, it assists the enemy because it is stupid for the player to use.

Graphics are mostly alright, voice activated controls are also a decent feature even if 'haha' makes it fire 2 missiles occasionally. Turning off the microphone also enduces missiles to be fired.

For some reason when you stall the afterburners start flickering out as if your engine just sucked in something it shouldn't have. The controls are alright.


I think it is probably worth about 7.5/10. It could be better, but it has some decent features. Only really worth it if you enjoy a tedious battle and don't mind a basic flight sim.


Anyone else played it? What was your verdict?

I disliked both. The umm... 'High G' (even when negative G) turns in AC6 were a bit stupid, as was how a radio DJ was using military frequencies.

I think I would go back to Over G Fighters for a console game. Doesn't have the graphics, but I think of all the games it has the realism... Or, most realism from what there is offered.

You never get tired of hearing "no x for PS3"

No, because im happy with the massive, open world, high quality games i have without worrying about my console overheating and melting from the inside out. In the FACE!

Yeah, id hate to pay that massive 10 dollars for a new graphics card.

1: xBox 360 and PS3 have no graphical differences

2: the 8 processors in the PS3 run no better than the 360s 3

3: No one plays PS3 online so thats why it is free, xBox live has tonnes of users

4: Many games that you can't get on PS3 like Fable series, Halo series + more (Which will include the Microsoft Flight Sim coming out for Xbox HAHA)

5: Free repair for xBox 360

6: Never heard of an xBox melting and overheating takes a few seconds to take care of (I play almost all 24Hrs and rarely get overheat)

All i can think of at the moment

What an immature post. I'm sorry, but you really need to think things through before posting.

1: there are varying differences between games on X360 and PS3 - things like aliasing, colour etc.

2: All I can say on this is that GTA IV slows down under heavy activity, which is normal for PS3, X360 or PC

3: What a blatantly incorrect statement. The amount of players has nothing to do with its price. Also, I have no problem finding full servers when I play Bad Company, GTA IV or Call of Duty: World at War

4: PS3 has its fair share of exclusives too. Not to mention, Microsoft has made no announcement regarding Flight Simulator on Xbox.

5: Not really relevant.

6: Tcco, you can answer this.

So, Layne, think out your post. And cover all contingencies. 

Actually An-225 Microsoft have made an announcement that they are planning on creating a console edition of FS you will find it in one of the many ACE fired announcements.

and this whole fight about xBox vs PS3 is irrelevant because the post is about H.A.W.X

Yeah hows the gameplay? Like Ace Combat style?

tcco94 wrote on Feb 15^th, 2009 at 10:40pm:

Sort of, yeah.

Weapons recharge I think, and you get those 'SP weapons' as seen on AC6 where you launch a load of missile at many enemies.

Flies quite the same, plays quite the same. I think there are a lot more enemies launching at you though than in AC6. Stops you from just being able to go on a high speed run, but adds some entertainment dodging attacks.

Thats not a bad thing though. Ace combat was brilliant.
