8bitfix Review - Starhawk

In 2007 Incognito Entertainment gave us the cult classic PS3 title Warhawk. Without a story mode, the game was a bit of an oddity, but 32-player battles over PlayStation Network, an array of vehicles, and a dedicated following urged the production of a sequel. Five years later LightBox Interactive gives us "Warhawk in space" with Starhawk. Starhawk keeps the 32-player battles and vehicular combat aspect but revamps everything through the use of the new "Build and Battle" system. Now as a wrench turning, outcast hybrid gun-for-hire players can put the "final frontier" at their fingertips! -WildCardCorsair

the greatest space shooter ever made in my opinion.

just bought the game yesterday and im still getting the hang of it.

it is chaotic and well put together though. now if only my friends could buy the game!

I would love a jetpack only battle where you can reenact the Moonraker astronaut fight.

Cheesy but fun.

Adolph Fitler5108d ago

Too low, deserves a 9.5 at least....Also, jetpacks should stay in Warhawk...Starhawk is best when jetpacks aren't involved. I would rather they add some kind of 2-3 man futuristic chopper.

wildcardcorsair5108d ago

hahah, well there were some flaws, so i decided to stay away from 9.5 but the fun factor certainly warrants a great score, thats for sure.

your chopper idea is very good as well, its unlikely to add something so major after the fact but perhaps in a single player dlc? you can always tweet @dylanjobe hes pretty good at replying to the more unique suggestion/comments he gets.

Fun game and wish I was at home playing it. Though thankfully I get home tomorrow and will be able to play!

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

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.

FreeckyCake758d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX758d 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.

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

YourMommySpoils758d ago

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

Friendlygamer758d ago (Edited 758d 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 )

jznrpg758d 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.

RPGer1835d 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.

titans99991835d 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!
