Amazon.com Tom Clancy's HAWX for PS3 puts you behind the throttle, in the fighter pilot's seat. As a member of the elite HAWX squadron, you'll find yourself manning cutting-edge aircraft, training on all the newest weapons, and carrying out dangerous top-secret missions set against the backdrop of a chaotic future, where private military companies (PMCs) are constantly putting your skills to the test and forcing you to defend your reputation as one of the top military pilots on Earth.

View larger. | Shifting International Dynamics: The Hazards of PMC Warfare Set between Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Tom Clancy's EndWar from the popular Ghost series, Tom Clancy's HAWX takes place in a world where warfare is constantly evolving--a time when state-sponsored militaries lack the funds and personnel to modernize their forces and elite, private mercenary groups have grown in size and scope to pick up the slack. The Reykjavik Accords of 2012 defined the role of these PMCs in combat, and they made it fully legal for these groups to purchase from the international armaments market, leading to a shift in the structure of global military power. Over time, you'll do battle on the front lines of both sides as this shift reveals high-stakes arms threats and a terrifying glimpse of the future. HAWX: The Elite, High Altitude Warfare eXperimental Squadron You'll begin the game as former U.S. Air Force Pilot David Crinshaw, assigned to provide air support for the well-known Ghost Recon team. You and your fellow HAWX pilots are some of the most highly-trained specialists in the world. Based out of Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, you're tasked with everything from testing secret and experimental aircraft weapon systems to carrying out combat and recon missions, training other top pilots, and attempting to capture enemy technologies. With the rise of the PMCs, your unique skills in higher demand than ever before. And with 49 playable planes available in game, plus additional planes available to some pilots through pre-order bonuses or VIP memberships, there's no shortage of sleek, fast, deadly aircraft at your disposal as you put your skills to use. An Iconic, Enhanced Reality System to Help You Deliver Results When you're in the midst of a firefight, E.R.S. in-game technology can help anyone survive, if you know how to take advantage of it. Featuring incoming missile detection, an anti-crash system, damage assessment, a tactical map, and weapons trajectory control, E.R.S. even allows you to issue orders to your squadron and other units, much like the iconic Cross-Com system in other Tom Clancy games. When you're getting started, you can ease into the rigors of flight and gain confidence by using a special assistance mode that offers support through the E.R.S. This mode can be switched off at any time, deactivating safety features and allowing you to perform advanced maneuvers. Cutting-Edge Realism and Innovative Multi-Player Modes Whether you're in a classic F15 Fighting Falcon or a new-generation Gripen, the controls and flight graphics are designed to keep you on your toes. And the game's photo-realistic environments have been created using detailed satellite data. When you pull back on the throttle to jet all over the world, you'll experience this authentic world from a variety of viewpoints. Game play options aren't limited either, with the campaign featuring solo and multiplayer options with seamless jump in/jump out functionality, and a PVP mode where players can challenge each other to dog-fights for bragging rights, earning experience points and cash, and unlocking additional weapons.

Better than Ace Combat June 27, 2010 C. Schein The reason Hawx is better than ace combat is that you can switch between assistance on and off. when you have this mode off it goes to a different view which is not that great but the thing that is great about is that you can basically stall your plane and it avoids the missile or gets you in the perfect postion in the dogfight. there is really no clear cut way say this but it is truly magnificent and beautiful when you do this manuver. graphics are great, great and wide selection of planes, only problem is that you should be able to land and the missions were to short and i hope they correct that in Hawxs II. great buy very fun
The makings of another Tom Clancy franchise June 22, 2010 The Voice Of Treason (Holdenville, OK, USA) I was looking for something different to play and I rented this, this being my first console flight sim I was enthralled by the visuals, the feeling of speed and the pure pleasure of hearing the ring announcing that you have a lock and you're free to fire missiles is really just exhilarating. I'm not really sure you can call this a flight sim, since most of the planes handle exactly the same, there's not really anything difficult about flying no knowledge of airplanes or military is required. If this can be called a flight sim then I would compare it to something like NFS: Undercover being a driving sim. I know enough to know that an F-22 Raptor would dominate a bunch of old MiGs and helos and it does but then again so does everything else, get it? Don't purchase this game if you're looking for a realistic military flight sim because I don't think this is particularly realistic, insofar as the planes are concerned. I mean these things, even on hard difficulty, carry a missile payload of over 100. But I think it was a sacrifice in realism for fun which I don't mind at all. The multiplayer is pretty decent, although it's getting old as a game so theres not that many players online whenever I check but I've had some pretty decent team deathmatches and some satisfying co-op games. I also liked all the little nods to other Tom Clancy series' contained in the game, you provide air support for Mitchell and the Ghosts from Ghost Recon AWF a couple times, and are provided intel by one of Third Echelon's Splinter Cells, which was pretty cool because I'm a big fan of both those series' too. Anyways, if/when they make a sequel I'll definitely buy it. I'm really happy with this game, I think most people will be as soon as the get over being scared of the big nasty flight sim that it's labeled as and realize it's a simple easy to pick up and play action game even if you've never played anykind of flight game this is still going to be easy to learn.
awesome game May 22, 2010 John (Los Angels, Cali) this game is really awesome to play. it has a good story line and the online play is cool too. there are awesome missions and all of them have a lot of action. all of the jets they have are really fun to use. this game also has like 4 different camera views. there is 1st person,3rd person, cockpit, and this really cool view that lets you take off the assist pretty cool. the part 2 is coming out pretty soon so i would recommend people who like plane games to buy it because in my opinion i think its the best.
Great game, but April 21, 2010 Kevon J. Pierre (Miami, USA) I loved playing this game, only problem is that you need a flight joystick because the ps3 controller is the worst thing you could use to play this. I brought the PS3/PC T.fighter stickX and oh my goodness. you will have lots of fun if you like shooting down stuff.
not impressed in comparison April 15, 2010 gregster i was excited when i found out there was going to be a jet fighter game out for PS3...considering Ace Combat went retarded and switched only to XBox, shaking my head in disgust as i say that. Ace Combat was and still, as will always be far better and more of an enjoyable experience to play than this mediocre game. Yeah yeah, the graphics and detail...not enough to be on the same playing field of ace combat series. i'm loyal to the series, and this just doesn't measure up to it.
