Warhawk

There's no single player campaign; however, if you enjoy online games, then there should no questions about whether you should buy Warhawk. Warhawk is the most fun I've had on an online game EVER.

Warhawk puts you in a full out battle with jets, 4x4's, tanks, turrets, jetpacks, drop ships and more in an effort to kill as many people as possible while trying to stay alive. There are multiple modes in Warhawk consisting of Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Zones, Collection, and Hero. Deathmatch is your standard kill everyone. Team Deathmatch is you standard kill everyone on the other team. Capture the Flag is pretty much the same, but things finally get interesting in the final 3 mode.

Zones has you and your team flying out to different neutral bases, and capturing them for the team. As in many other modes this allows you to spawn at these different base; however, in zone mode this is your main method of scoring and winning the round for you team, because the more bases you capture the more point our team earns, and once the boundaries of captured bases being to touch you will being to earn more score point and more spawn points meaning more vehicles to fight with.

Collection mode and Hero mode aren't listed in the manual so I'll do my best to describe them. Collection mode has you go around the map collection orbs from specific locations. Once you collect an orb you must travel back to your base in order to score a point. However, you can risk going out to collect more than one orb in order to score what I believe is up to 10 points, but if you are killed you lose all your orbs meaning another teammate can take your hard earned points or even worse the opposing player(s) or team.

Hero mode basically selects one person to be the target of the entire opposing team. This person gains more resistance than the average player, along with all the weapons, and must stay alive for the duration of their time as Hero. The object of this mode is to kill whoever is the Hero to score a point for your team.

Warhawk is a complete blast. You can choose from a large variety of weapons for your solider or jet to take down your enemies, and play matches with up to 32 players and 2-4 player split screen during those matches. And with the DLC and dedicated following for this game you're guaranteed to keep coming back for more.

9.0
Graphics
There's a slight learning curve. Going through the practice mode will help a lot, but just playing through a couple of matches will help you get the hang of it. Once you do you'll fall in love.
8.0
Sound
Not the best looking game, but it holds up well. It works for an online only game, with tons of explosions and special effects going on.
8.0
Gameplay
Music cues are great motivators especially when you're winning. All weapons sound different.
9.5
Fun Factor
One of the most addictive games even after being released nearly 2 years ago.

Ive been playing this game from day 1 so it about 2 years old and it still amazes me when i fire it up how many people are still playing it so if you are new to the game dont worry there is always plenty of people to play against. Warhawk really is a fantastic online game personally i just play capture the flag. I love to get the flag in a jeep then yell over the mike I NEED AIR SUPPORT lol then having a couple of warhawks tail me back to base awesome. Nice review.

Doppy6200d ago

Thanks it's one of my favorite PS3 games.

Doppy6199d ago

Just so you know the Warhawk DLC all 3 of them are on sale for $9.99 now.

SlyGuy6199d ago

9.5 in my book. Most fun game I have played this gen.

LittleDozer6199d ago

Extremely fun game, but it has a junk load of glitches which can get really annoying.

creamydingle6197d ago

I have no glitches what are these junk load of glitches you talk about?

ALL_STAR_286198d ago (Edited 6198d ago )

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1752d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991752d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!

Remembering Warhawk – one of the PS3’s first multiplayer must-haves

TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."

I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.

SegaSaturn6692533d ago

This game...my god. What a masterpiece.

mkis0072533d ago

I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.

Knushwood Butt2533d ago

Time just flew by when playing this, and I always had that, 'just one more game, then I quit for the day.' urge.

Spent entire days playing it. Not healthy, but endless fun.

PoSTedUP2533d ago

after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.

porkChop2663d ago

A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.

MONOLITHICIDE2663d ago

I only diagree because please dont say that. We have had zero games like this so far. No MAG, SOCOM, TWISTED METAL etc...

TheSaint2662d ago

I'd kill or die for a MAG 2 on PS4.

Babadook72663d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun2663d ago

Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!

Sevir2663d ago

Honestly, Warhawk and the original Resistance was pure multiplayer bliss on PS3 in it's first few years on the market. If they did a ground up remake of Warhawk for PS4 I'd be so happy. In similar to how they did Wipeout Omega collection on PS4

Concertoine2663d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
