Hawx

[ik9000]

Got it a while back and forgot about it. Opened it today and was sorely disappointed. Rubbish console port. Awful interface, even their realistic extreme difficulty setting is a breeze. Lame lame lame. Are there any decent fighter i.e flight combat games out there? Bf2 remains the best thing i've found. (and it isn't exactly primarily set up as a flight sim!)

Would have thought that the late Tom Clancy's name attached would have been a give away that it was a game rather than something more serious. That said, I remember getting a free copy with my old GF460 and not being able to claim it because Ubisoft's demented eCommerce site wouldn't accept any of my credit cards, so I couldn't make the required £0 payment to get the game.

Tried HAWX2 and that's just as bad. Then again, I shouldn't really cast stones perhaps since I thoroughly enjoyed the last two Ace Combat games - and they're arguably even less "sim" than HAWX.

Kind of went off flight sims when Microsoft dropped the Force Feedback version of the Sidewinder joystick (which I've still got somewhere).
