Game Guys review - Starhawk

John Speerbrecker writes:
"It has been three years since we had last heard from the developers of the fantastic multiplayer game Warhawk. With it new take on the multiplayer shooter; it captivated a new audience for the PlayStation 3. IT was also when Sony had introduced trophy support for its software. Warhawk was one of the first games that offered the new way of measuring your worth against your friend list. Did the timing of Starhawk's predecessor really capture an audience or was it merely at the right place at the right time?"

Super this seems to have turned out so well.

NastyLeftHook04355d ago

this is the best space shooter out there.

I like starhawk even more for giving me free dlc even though I wasn't a beta tester but do own warhawk.

Blastoise4355d ago

You got free DLC for being in the beta?
What was it?
I was in the beta but havnt bought the full game yet

killerhog4355d ago

I got two dlcs, I believe they were skins. You should of gotten a psn message with a voucher card. My brother got em too. If you haven't I would research why if you were a tester. They are sending messages to people who don't even own starhawk but beta tested or own warhawk.

You get a glowing fist and a lime green paint job if you played warhawk

BitbyDeath4355d ago

As well as the Green paint job from Warhawk you also get the black paint job from the Nemesis.

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.

FreeckyCake7d 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

YourMommySpoils7d ago

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

Friendlygamer7d 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.

RPGer1083d 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.

titans99991083d 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!
