Summary
HAWX is a decent and fun arcade flight combat game. Simplicity isn't always a bad thing.
We like
- The variety of planes and weaponry
- Having loads of challenges to complete alongside the 19 missions
- The solid co-op component
We dislike
- That flying with 'Assistance Off' feels like you're playing a different game
- The sub-par competitive multiplayer
- The questionable visual presentation
