H.A.W.X. is really a fun arcade game. The controls are easy to master, the graphics are really nice and the gameplay is fun. You can choose between multiple planes, weapons and skins. The game is easily modifiable so you can download or create your own skins. The campaign is relatively short but enjoyable.
Yet, I would suggest you wait before buying this game. The major problems are on the multiplayer aspect of the game. It crashes, disconnects, times out often and it is not protected by any anti-cheat software. I suggest you follow up the game's forums before buying it. That way, you will be able to tell if they patched the game or not.
If you are a fan of simulation, you better stay away from it.

After Prince of Persia and End War, this is the third major Ubisoft retail release to come out protected not by any intrusive yet ineffective DRM scheme but simply by gamers' honor. And, on top of that, it is a very good game.
There hasn't been a similar game released for some time now: simplified arcade-like action with easy controls, breath-taking cinematics and impressive graphics - that will run in full even in mid-range PC systems. My advice: as with any flight combat game, using a joystick will make things so much more enjoyable and intuitive.
If you are more of an authenticity buff (and still have tons of free time to spare) I would advise going with a combat AddOn for Flight Simulator or a good old Jane's title. You will find no realistic cockpit and detailed controls in H.A.W.X. So, is this flight combat game dummied down? Well, yes. But I promise you: you will have FUN like never before!
Hammerheading over cityscapes and coming in from the Sun over the desert has never been more easy to master. The electronic aids and bare-minimum controls will let you enjoy the fights and start mastering them early on.
This is a 4star game but I decided to give it full marks just because the Montrealers at UBISOFT keep walking the narrow path towards a DRM-free future. It cannot be easy to take such bold decisions during such a tight economy. They deserve our support.
RECOMMENDED!

The differences between the planes are not big. Besides, it isn't realistic: A-10 in supersonic flight! You can't take off and land and has very simple commands. I have all MS and Ubisoft flight sims and I guess this is a funny game, but not a simulator.

Overall a pretty good game
First off, this game is better played with a flightstick.
There's a good variety of missions to fly in HAWX, some can be a little frustrating, especially when they make you... Read more

Visually pleasing
Visually it is great, just wish it were a little less arcade style and more flight sim.
