Tom Clanceys HAWX

Also a bit unrealistic that ANY plane (well, the 4 I've flew in the demo) can do that cobra manoeuvre that only the likes of the SU-27, MiG-29 & F-22 (and a few new others) can do.

Despite that, I like the arcade-ness of it
Infinite missiles n all that

well they can do the cobra manoever the wings would probably fold up and the airframe would be stressed to hell. That manoever is made alot easier thanks to thrust vectoring.

Since when did the F-16 (in the demo) have thrust vectoring?

the JSf does as does some of the Migs i believe

Hawx 2 is out now.

The original Hawx ran at 60 frames per second, this one doesn't, in fact on some levels it struggles to stay at 30

They've tried to make it more like Call of Duty ( ), the levels load while playing a video - but in this the videos are poor and judder a lot. AC130 level in it, just like Modern Warfare 2. Plus a few other features like refueling, take off & landing etc.

And some bright person clearly made the decision to make the dogfights much much closer. The result is that the 'OFF mode' is now useless, and you just spend ages pulling tight turns 99% of the time Also, when you stall in OFF mode, it switches OFF mode off, why?

Overall, some good variations in the levels. But really let down by some very poor design decisions.

Any (arcadey) flight sim fans, wait till it's £15 in Asda
