    Can't wait for the sequel/expansion pack! Loved every single bit of it, even with the broken XP leveling.

    I rented it and finished it and... it's fun. It is, it's a fun game. I even played a little online with it.


    But it's also a bit of a joke. I mean, power-sliding? Really?


    It's a Clancy game, right, so we're expecting a degree of realism, and a tone of seriousness to the game along with a feeling of urgency. Think back to the first Ghost Recon, or the very first Rainbow Spear games. They felt exceptionally real... by comparison HAWX (I'm not doing the stupid periods, fuck that) feels like an arcade, light-hearted, completely "fun" plane shooter.


    I guess another way to put it is that HAWX feels very much like Rainbow6: Vegas... but less realistic. Anyone who's played R6:Vegas will know precisely what I'm talking about.

    Working at Blockbuster, it gets rented occasionally. So that's nice for them, I guess. Sort of like when the occasional person comes in and rents Trainspotting. You know, except Trainspotting is good.

    which version gets rented?


    360? PS3?


    i find Ace Combat more recognized arcade flight sim than HAWX but it's not on PS3...

    @icepick314: 360. Most games that are rented out are 360 games. I'd say a 3:1 ratio. But I live in Georgia, so those numbers could sway in bigger metropolitan areas or something. I wouldn't rent it on either system, though, and I get the rentals for free...


    It gets rented rarely, though. The first week it came out people were clamoring for it, but its niche appeal has died down.

    How are the Ghost Recon games? I played the Demo for 2 last year and it was pretty cool. it's a more realistic take on warfare, and it's made pretty good. Tom Clancy know's what he's doing.


    But I've never owned one. When i bought mirror's edge, I found out that a game that has a good demo, good mechanics and plays well doesnt always turn out to be what i'd call "fun". Are the Ghost Recon games "FUN"? If so, which would you recommend.

    @AramisNimrod: Ok, so maybe he hasn't. What kind of answer is that?


    Killa,


    I'm probably not the person to answer this since I'm not heavily into either the originals or the AWs but from my perspective the original GR games were heavily tactics based. You had a team of guys to do missions and you had to pick them before each mission and you had a planning map and set waypoints and all that type of setup. The actual mission was only a portion of the game. I always grouped these with the original Rainbox Six games prior to Vegas. Then the AW series was much more action driven. It was basically an action shooter where you had AI controlled squad mates to help you. YOu basically tell them where to go and what type of action to take, but mostly its just an action based shooter with squadmate, not nearly as much planning or back end setup to each mission. Both games are fun, but I definitely prefer the AW/Vegas style games to the original GR and RS. But others will disagree with me and thats fair.

    @Josepiphus: Ghost Recon (1.0), Island Thunder (1.5), Ghost Recon 2, GR 2: Summit Strike (2.5), GRAW (3.0), GRAW 2 (3.5), Ghost Recon 4. And if their recent Tom Clancy branded games are any clue, this one is going to be called "X-TREEEEEEEEME Warfighterz"

    Geez, I had totally forgotten about this game. I hope it's better than Double Agent. The weird thing was that, to me, the Xbox version of that game was better than the 360 version. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
