Starhawk Review - GameRevolution

GameRevolution:

Starhawk is the spiritual sequel to Warhawk which in many ways should tell you all you really need to know about the game. Though it has a campaign mode, it mostly serves as an extended tutorial on how to play the multiplayer game.

Why is he referring to multiple games and movies? That's what made me stop reading the review.

MerkinMax5143d ago

That's the problem with so many reviews these day, they constantly compare instead of solely reviewing the product based on its own merits. They say "x game or movie did this already, or they did it better." so what if I didn't like x game or movie? I don't know if that makes sense but it does to me.

trouble_bubble5143d ago

Exactly. Messed up review.

Firefly, Jonah Hex, Bravestarr, Return of the Jedi, plus the obligatory Halo fanboy shoe horn. Yes, like 6 good fanboy winks to Halo that have no place in a RTS-TPS review. Halo doesn't have real time strategy online, it doesn't even have ADS. No reason to go there besides maybe he was feeling defensive about his fave sci-fi FPS losing some ground.

Loved this line "While it's boring waiting near your rift generator to get enough energy to build one of the more choice defense towers..." hey clown, that's why you go out and KILL some people lol or blow up some of the many stashes of rift barrels!!! Base campers should NOT review online games. If the guy never even left his base to know that every kill fills up your rift bar and blowing up barrels can fill you up in seconds, then wow. Watch less movies, play more games.

LiViNgLeGaCY5143d ago

.....Did he seriously write that? Wow.

VonBraunschweigg5143d ago

We won't miss him online, that's for sure.

Too many journalists in today's world....

Ducky5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

GameRevolution has existed since 1996.

EDIT: If he was born in 1996, he wouldn't have made those movie/TV references.
Quality of the review is fine, it appears that the score is what you're disagreeing with.

Nes_Daze5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

Nice story, hopefully the journalist wasn't born that year, judging by the quality of his review.

soundslike5143d ago

I saw the 3.5/5

I came expecting typical fanboys trying ever so desperately to discredit reviewer

what do you know I was right. Its not like it happens every single time a game like this comes out or anything. I must be psychic.

DigitalRaptor5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

@ soundslike

When you find fault with the words in a review it's often the reviewer who's to blame.

In this case check out trouble_bubble's comment (#1.2) above to see why.

Beta was awesome at least imo and just based off the beta i decided to purchase this game. By the way i love mom and pop stores because i already have my copy sitting in front of my desk and will be playing all night when i get home.

By the way the mp was one of the most robust and well rounded mps ive ever played. The build and battle system was so well implemented and the vehicles are just insanely good.

LiViNgLeGaCY5143d ago

Agreed. This game is an instant buy from me.

VonBraunschweigg5143d ago

Same here, the beta got me hooked. No luck in the stores yet, hopefully tomorrow. Usually I can find one selling early, but not today:(

sasmanator5143d ago

For A game like this, the reviewer should wait for the game to release so it can at least build some kind of community for multiplayer.

Son_of_Mars5143d ago

Decent score, but the review is lacking, wasted some precious minutes..

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake785d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX784d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer785d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils785d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg785d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

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.

RPGer1861d 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.

titans99991861d 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!
