Rewind Replay Publications: Starhawk Review

A portion of Rewind Replay's review: "Some (not all) of the missions are repetitive, but the main problem is this is the type of game that is better played with friends. The addition of single player to me was just time they could have spent working on something else."

"The addition of single player to me was just time they could have spent working on something else"

They did, it's called the multiplayer, the meat of the game. He wrote one sentence about that without any real info. Add a tutorial the predecessor missed and there's only more to complain about for some reviewers.

Pretty sad, especially from how do I say, '360 minded' websites. With Starhawk they really like to put the emphasis on the SP - which is indeed short & lacks a good story, but does explain the mechanics very well to prep you for the MP. The multiplayer. Online gaming. The thing they're paying 40 to 60 a year for just to have it switched "On". And still nothing available quite like the multiplayer of Starhawk. Imo there's a sad sad irony in this, which ultimately doesn't benefit their readers, specifically those looking for something new & fresh. Online.

Lol people like you make me laugh, how on earth did you come up with the 360 minded website part is it because a PS3 exclusive did not get a high enough score?

rbluetank4357d ago (Edited 4357d ago )

alot of 360 website review PS3 games. they do jugde them unfair. the sp in Starhawk is not great. it helped me understand how to play better in the mp of Starhawk game. i think the Mech in Starhawk are too powerful. they have alot of different types of rockets/flak cannnon beam/cloak. they can cloak inside your base bubble shield then blow up all your defense before you can fight back. they then warp 5 outside to start another bomb run. lol i hope they only let tanks/jeeps and sidewinders inside your bubble shield. i wish the mech would blow up if the touch the bubble shield. this is my only problem with the game so far... this game really shines with team work...

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake6d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils6d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1082d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991082d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
