PS3 - Warhawk (Japankore.net official Review)
By Cypher of Japankore.net



Story/Presentation: 8.2 (out of 10)
Story? What story? Seriously, Warhawk is an online game only! Two teams are at war! It's simple as that! That's all you gotta know! But the game present itself better than I'd expected it! It's so great that I had to raise up the score here... Easy navigation, customization, interface, sound and controls setting. Easy to follow menu with easy to understand descriptions. Everything is simple and easy to see! Finding a friend and join his or her game is very simple! However there are a few annoying things where you can't get into a game even though it isn't full. However this was fixed with an update. It has one of the best online lobby I've seen and easy to find rooms.

Graphics: 9.0 (out of 10)
At first, a few months before the game is out I thought the game looks like shit! But having it here playing on a 32'' HDTV display. It's looks great! Far better than the screenshots I've seen! I can honestly say that this is the best looking PSN game thus far(to this date)! And one of the cleanest good looking PS3 games to date. The graphic is solid, things looks solid and not flat. Zero jaggie edges! Awesome lighting and very large detailed maps/environments. Character model and vechicles looks amazing! Just look at the detail of the leather on your characters outfit. Look at how solid the tank and warhawk is. Although the graphic isn't realistic and up close textures looks a bit odd... but overall it looks great and very detailed from the distance it is ment to be played. For a game of this size and a PSN title that you can download for $40, this game looks great! The graphics may be simple with very nice visual effects but it give you an overall looks that's better than most games I've played to date





Sound & Music: 8.8 (out of 10)
Warhawk have some of the most awesome sound effects I've heard. Gun firing, rockets, missiles, explosions, lock on target and everything sounds wonderful. It feels real and like you are there in the war! The music score is well composed for the war theme. It matches well with this game artstyle and atmosphere. However there are minor few things that doesn't sound right but nothing is perfect...



Gameplay: 9.5 (out of 10)
32 player online in one big map.
You can run around and fight on the ground(with more than 9 different ground weapons you can pick up and use).
Get in vehicles such as a jeep with machine guns, pick up your teammate in the jeep, 3 people can be in it.
Get in a tank and blast away at enemy.
Or get in the warhark jet and have an insane fast pace dog-fight.
Get in drop ships, APC and more... All this are done on the map simultaneously and seamlessly without any lag or loading. What other online game where you can do all of what I've listed at the same time?
The game is currently the most addicting PS3/PSN game thus far(to this date)... That is after you have learn how to play. There is a bit of a learning curve involves but after that you will have a blast!
The gameplay are very well balanced aswell.

Final Score: 8.9 (out of 10)
This is one game a PS3 owner should have! It's Clearly one of the best/better online games out there right now! Before I play this game, I have my doubts. Like many others out there, when you look at screenshots and gameplay clips it doesn't look so fun... But, once you get into the action yourself you will see it differently. I have a few friends that "only" liked the game until after they had played it. You won't understand the fun unless you play it for a few hours, that's all I can say.

Final score note: Final score are taken by adding all the scores from each of the 4 categories then divide them by 4.
