Hi,

I was reading about Tom Clancy's HAWX and it seems like an interesting game. I'm particularly looking for air-combat or air-simulation. Have you guys played it and recommend it?

I was wondering if there is a game that includes air combat simulation where you can play split-screen (4 players -both online and offline - offline is a must). I really like the idea of Hawx if only it had offline split screen, would be perfect. I heard Warhawk has something like that, but I don't know how good it is. I'm more into realistic jet fighters rather than funny looking ones like in warhawk (only checked it out in the demo version).

What would you guys recommend?

Thanks,

S

Honestly, HAWX is your only option as of now, and....what a poor option it is. I'm a big fan of the Ace Combat series, but HAWX made me physically ill with its level of mediocrity.

Hawx is more of an arcade air-combat game, but other then that the only Flight sim i can think of is Blazing Angels; even those its not a Flight sim, 1943 lets u fly fighter planes (and they look like real planes). Pretty sure neither game i listed has the 4 player split screen.

First off, this makes me wish Ace Combat 6 was in the PS3, but frankily not. Anyway wait for Heroes Over Europe or IL-2 Sturmovick Birds Of Prey (Fight sim by the way) these two should come out a little later this year. HAWX was no good.

Warhawk is godly and looks really good for an early ps3 game! You should definatly get it.

You sir, should migrate to the PC, where you will find such great titles as Lock On: Modern Something or Other. The most underrated combat flight simulator ever. Oh and I second the call for Ace Combat on PS3. That would be sick.

Right now for PS3 your only options for flying games are Blazing Angels 1 & 2, and HAWX..I personally would go for HAWX over BA though

Yeah Blazing Angels was terrible... the voice acting, the zero gravity flight model... god, I do not want to relive that anytime soon.

Nope... plenty on PC though if you have a halfway decent machine.

There isn't really a big market for air-combat games on the ps3.
