I spent a good bit of time this morning in the Warhawk beta on PS3. This will be a must have when it's released. Hands down.
The controls are really good for both ground and aerial combat. It took me a bit to figure out what buttons did what actions, but once it did it was on like donkey kong. I spent a good deal of time running around, capturing flags and territories (depending on the game type), while most people stayed up in the air to fight it out. Once I did get in the air, I got my ass kicked. I've never been great at aerial combat, and this isn't an exception. However, I did find the controls much easier than say a Crimson Skies type of game. I'll have to fly around more and see what I can do. I did shoot down a couple people, which was nice.

There's a ton of weapons including hand-held guns and grenades, upgraded weapons for tanks and jeeps, and upgraded weapons for the aircraft. Not to mention all the crazy turrets you can hop on. My personal favorite: the flamethrower. I mean, come on... who doesn't love a flamethrower? Even Spaceballs had one. I digress.
The sound in the game is amazing. It features full 7.1 channel uncompressed Linear PCM, which is astounding. I cranked my surround sound and was drooling. I love hearing the dog fights in the sky behind me, and being able to tell when planes are coming close so I could duck into cover.
The game is exceptionally fun. I think between this and Socom, the PlayStation Network is going to be mighty crowded this holiday season. Now I just need to decide between a download or the disc... hmm...
