Warhawk 1st Review- 9.6/10

One thing the Playstation 3 has an abundance of are over the top action titles from Resistance Fall of Man to GRAW2. This ain't a bad thing by any means, so when article source's site heard that the development team behind the outrageous Twisted Metal series where bringing back Warhawk to the beloved console, there was certainly something to be excited about. Warhawk is Sony Computer Entertainment's answer to the lack of air to ground flight titles currently available across all platforms this generation and are hoping to garner increased interest in the Playstation 3 with this exclusive title. Incognito are to be commended for branching out and creating one of the most stunningly beautiful and immersive titles this year.

[Maddens Raiders]

-- "Graphics aside, its all about gameplay. It doesnt matter how visually beautiful a game is if the core gameplay is dog poor , thankfully gameplay here actually surpasses whats viewed on screen. You have an absolute treasure chest of options available to you here which all help create some spectacular battles. If you want a 32 player battle over a tiny area and literally throw your opponents into the biggest masacre available onscreen then off you go. If you want a more skill orientated dogfight then you can create a match up over a massive map and have one of the greatest multiplayer battles of your life." --

Not the best written review in the world, but my sentiments are the same:

this is waiting.....patiently, patiently waiting to play this game. =]

[hella whip]

It says gameplay surpasses graphics yet gives graphics a higher score in the breakdown?? As much as i think Warhawk is gonna be excellent this review doesn't to neutral, The game will probably end up in the high 8 low 9 category, Just because it has no single player which is lame.

[boodybandit]

"Just because it has no single player which is lame."

It would be more than lame if a reviewer took points away for no single player while rating this title. It is a MMO and reviewers know going in single player doesn't exist.

[Lifendz]

Where do you guys find these sites? This is a very good score but, just like Lair and Heavenly Sword, I'm going to wait and see what IGN, Gamestop, and maybe even Game Informer have to say about these games. Lair got a 6 from EGM but a 9 from Play. That's a big difference. Not saying I doubt Warhawk is good, I'll just be waiting to see what it gets from a more established site.

[beavis4play]

egm reviewed lair and it wasn't even a finished game. i'm not buying lair, but i've never been impressed with that magazine. probably one of the reasons ziff davis is going bankrupt.

[nasim]

WARHAWK looks way better than GALO3 though.

NOW ps3 has tooo many good games in SEPTEMBER

DIRT,LAIR,HS,WARHAWK,STRANGLE HOLD and GRAW 2.

september is a month of PWNAGE

BTW LAIR got 8.0 from PSW.

take that GAYGM

[STICKzophrenic]

"DIRT,LAIR,HS,WARHAWK,STR ANGLE HOLD and GRAW 2"

Ummm Xbox 360 owners have been playing DiRT and GRAW2 for a while already, and StrangleHold is multiplat.

F*ck you're a moron.

[ALI-G]

-we alrady played GRAW2 and DIRT ages ago ..oh DIRT play awsome with true force feed back..you cannot yet enjoy that.
-we will finsh playing stronghold befor PS3 version goes gold -warhawk with no single player get such high review(PSN!) ? i will wait for second review
- i thought you will be playing BIOSHOCK in your PC ATIX1900XXX-which you do not own.
-LAIR=did you see the reviews
-HS=half assed Goddes of war more like Devil May Cry.10 enemies in screen 1 will attack u while the rest will wait for u to attack them( bring on NG2 )

IN THE END OF THE DAY:i did not know that HALO3 making you sh1t ur self too much that you have to bash it in every post.just remmber 15 days befor 25sep until afteer the christmas do not log to the internet/or watch tv/or drink DEW/ or go to game shop/ do not even go out of your room since your family will be playing HALO3 OR eting takeaway with HALO theme in the box ,so you will have real nightmares and you will hate your system

RESPECTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTT

[Daytona]

This gamnes game play maybe a 8.3 out of 10, maybe. Graphics 7.8.

They purposely lied on this review b/c BIOSHOCK is kicking everybodies ass.

Warhawck is a joke, delyed 4x, and still only decent at best. Another loser title that;s still in delay process by sony....next......

[Armyless]

Do these children's internet time go unchecked? I shiver to think these are grown men.

Why, God?

[hazeblaze]

It actually isn't lame at all! Like they said in the review... it actually seems to be a better game by their strict focus on multiplayer.

Before being invited to the beta, I wasn't even sure I would pick up the game (definitely wasn't going to be a day one purchase) b/c of the lack of single player. Now it's my most anticipated game for the PS3 until Haze & UT3. If you like online games, this will be among the best to come out this year.

[resistance100]

I loved every minute of the beta (couldn't even get off it to make the most of my halo3 beta time) Gald to see its getting the praise it deserves

[jared81799]

i was on the beta for this game and it was amazing. this game is well worth the wait. my only complaint was the damage mitigation. it was alittle off but im sure they fixed it by now.

[Vip3r]

I don't know whether to get this or DiRT? Both games looks great though. Still nice to hear it got a good review.

[MACHone]

Well, do you feel like racing or destroying everything in sight? DiRT's not bad, but I definitely think Warhawk belongs in every online gamer's PS3 showcase. Plus, the Jabra BT125 headset included in the retail version is a huge bonus in my book.

[Vip3r]

I was wanting another racer but the MP on Warhawk looks soooo good. Plus it comes with a headset. I guess I'll just have to wait until after my Royal Air Force selection before I decide which means the 15th.

[skinzfan]

Come on man. Warhaw,its not even close.

[tfur]

If you want a racing game... Dirt doesn't even come close to Motorstorm...

I think you have to get Warhawk.

[masterg]

I love racing games.
But Dirt is fun for about half an hour.

Compared with Motorstorm or Burnout I would take those two any day.

[Daishi]

If your not a big online gamer or have lan parties it wouldn't make since to get Warhawk. If you are a racing fan I would highly recommend Dirt over any of the other racers. Burnout and Motostorm are not for normal racing fans, more for people who like to blow stuff up(like me). The car physics in Dirt just blow the other racing games away and it's probably longer than both Burnout and Motostorm combined. It's completely up to how much time you want to spend online having to deal with other people.

[Lex Luthor]

What kind of homemade cheap ass site is nextgenireland?

Wait for proper reviews, please stop being desperate.

[A Man]

But there was no need for that. Stop hating.

[DJ]

Definitely getting this game on Release Date!

[Ri0tSquad]

The beta was awesome and I wont be the only one to tell u since every other person who was in the beta would also agree. And if something is wrong with the game it could EASily be addressed with an update so im not worried about any negative things about the online.

[fenderputty]

The game is awesome. It's insanely fun.

[boodybandit]

Someone surely is desperate here LL and it's not people interested in hearing positive things about games they are contemplating purchasing.
grow up

[THC CELL]

great review,

i bet the high reviewing sites give this game around a 9.2 to 9.5

[TheMART]

Whats up with the reviewing sources for the PS3 upcoming games lately?

Warhawk reviewed by NextGenIreland???

Heavenly Sword by some unknown former East European country, even not in English?

Where are you digging up these semi-reviewers Sony fanboys? I'll be waiting on IGN and EGM reviews.

[AznSniper]

If you don't like it, don't comment then cause more people will just flame you for it.

[tonsoffun]

YAWN....

What will you say if this game gets around 9's for the review score? Will you eat crow? Or will you not even acknowledge that you were wrong?

god mart, your rabid fanboy side is showing, it looks set to be a great game for the PS3 - let the PS3 fans enjoy it, after all I know you will be shouting from the heavens how great (insert whichever AAA 360 tile) is.

Lets all stop the hating - you don't like the PS3? Fine, don't troll the PS3 news stories - same goes for the Sony fanboys here too. It isn' that hard man.

WHERE'S THE LOVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[THC CELL]

Mart What about people who Review on Gamespot from the community with No skills at all? and gets Kudos u clown

[rukusa]

Dude get the F out, with the east european sh*t.

Those reviews are just as valid as those damn Playboy 4/4 bunnies & Cinemablend Bioshock reviews.

God damn mart, you seriously sound more and more retarded as every day goes by.

[Mr VideoGames]

most SonyFanBoyz blow right past the Fact that MART tells the Truth with his Stories he actually has Facts and Stories to prove what he says unlike that other guy Bill Gates that keeps trolling around here for you PS3 Fans saying idiotic and sensless things, TheMart isn't a mindless FanBoy he tells the facts maby not in the most polite way but if you look at his comments everything he say is all TRUE... there's a reason why he hasn't been BANNED and that he still has all of his Bubbles SonyBoyz ignore him cause they don't want to hear the truth about there precious Sony and Playstation 3 they wanna hear senseless BullSh*t spewing out that isn't true

and yes most of these odd reviews for Playstation Games are from poeple that don't matter and that i have never heard from only the reviews from people with actual Expierence matter (EGM, IGN, GAMESPY, GAMESPOT etc.)

[Bazookajoe_83]

And wich glorious and excellent country do you come from you coocky bastard?

[rukusa]

So let me get this straight... you agree with Mart, without laying down a reason WHY to, and go on name-calling?

Jesus man, total lack of complete sense here. Looks like some one was just looking for an opportunity to "call out on the sony fanboys".

Both you and Mart are in this situation disrespectfull.

Especially if you go as far as agreeing with him on the eastern european sh*t.

[Mr VideoGames]

i Live in the United States and i haven't called anyone any names i didnt't mean to Agree with him on Calling the European's Names im just supporting someone and the FACTS i was only adressing The FanBoys with no Respect for Xbox

[rukusa]

Facts? Which facts? That both you and Mart will purposely try to pull down reviews that show positive scores for ... omg... SONY GAMES (ye, there I said it)?

There arent any facts here, show that those reviews are wrong.

You just WANT to dismiss them because if its aint under 8 or 7 for YOU then it aint a REAL REVIEW (apparently if its eastern european). I could already see Mart laughing his ass off calling the eastern european reviews legit IF they had given HS a 5 or 6. You guys just dont know your limit.

Thats just my bold assumption.

Also, its pretty interesting that HS which started out as a xbox exclusive ended up on the PS3 and is getting so far very , very good reviews.

[Mr VideoGames]

we'll coming from you i can careless what you say you have no Picture or any info it looks like you just made your account in like a second to talk trash about other consoles to better your PS3 (typical FanBoy)so i can carerless what you think.

[rukusa]

Well go ahead and dont care, seems like you gave up pretty quick on counter arguementing me.

And lol for the weak insult atempt.

I dont NEED to have a avatar or info to please people. I havent even trashed talked other consoles here... where the hell did you get that from? On the other hand I can see more the typical fanboy in your comment then I would ever see in mine.

But regardless to this youre doing a good job at portraying yourself as a fool.

@below Video4

What? makes no sense (since you didnt have a valid point), thanks for the lol though.

[Mr VideoGames]

you just explained my point

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

"Where are you digging up these semi-reviewers Sony fanboys? I'll be waiting on IGN and EGM reviews"

SO If size determines quality then McDonalds is luxury food.

[Gizmo_Logix]

VideoGames4Life,

You'd have a point in agreeing with theMART if the Warhawk beta hadn't been getting GREAT previews from beta testers, and other gaming podcast for the last two months.

[beavis4play]

the mart must not have all his stories straight. ziff davis has been in trouble for years and it looks like they're going under-and taking egm with them.so while marts looking for egm, i'd advise people to go to gameinformer.

[Ju]

Err, is right here: http://maps.google.com/maps...

Not necessarily eastern European, I'd say, it's more at the west end. (Not to say, eastern European reviews wouldn't count, but just FYI - some people seem to need help ;).

[Omicronn]

"Whats up with the reviewing sources for the PS3 upcoming games lately?

Warhawk reviewed by NextGenIreland???"

Are they no good anymore? ;)

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[b777conehead]

if they had gave the 360 high marks for a game you would say there a great website

[jay3]

Irish people have opinions too!!

[MrSwede]

I think the ignorant little boy is talking about the Czech Republic which for your information isn´t a former European nation, it IS a European nation. You´re thinking about Czechoslovakia but I didn´t expect someone like you (TheMart) to know that.

[Zhuk]

Mart isn't saying that Warhawk is a bad game, he is just questioning the poor sourcing of the review, something I have to agree with.

I think Warhawk will be a good game that is much needed for the PS3 (not a 9.6 though considering its multiplayer only) and I will be buying it, but i'll wait for more reputable reviews first.

[duarteq]

I know that sometimes there are review sources that are a little away from real world and gamers, but, what is the problem about reviews from other parts of world that are not american or british ? i think they have all the right to say their opinion as americans or british... U live in a planet with lots of countries u know ? This isn't just America and England. I'm from europe, i like to play games and to view or listen other peoples opinion...

[vickers500]

@Zhuk
How do you know this game doesent deserve a 9.6? I could say the same thing about BioShock, that it doesent deserve a 9.7 because its single player only, but I dont because the game is made specifically for that, single player, just like warhawk is made specifically for multiplayer.

[tonsoffun]

Launch day purchase. Defo, dunno if I'll download or get the retail copy though - I do like game boxes to add to the collection:

[MACHone]

Don't forget about that Jabra BT125 headset bundled with the retail version. The headset generally retails for $45 USD alone, so it's a pretty good bargain.

[tonsoffun]

yeah man - forgot about that. retail it is, I have been meaning to get a headset for the PS3 for some time.

Cheers bud,

Bubbles for you

[the worst]

i paid for this game back in april when
gamestop was charging 39.99

[GoLeafsGo]

..but I agree with Luthor.

Wait for a reputable site to put up their review.

And I can NOT wait for this game >_<!

Just 10 days...that's all...about 220 hours..T_T!

@tonsoffun
Heh..220 hours seems heavenly to you, doesn't it?

[tonsoffun]

Lucky git - recent reporst indicate that us Scots (and the rest of europe) will have to wait until mid sep for this game......

******EDIIT*******

Above - you are goddamn right it does. I may peruse my usual import store and perhaps buy it early, as long as there is no region coding in it...

[Vip3r]

We Scots deserve better. :p

But I wish Sony would release games throughout Europe at the same time as the Americans get them.

[tonsoffun]

dude - you are a fellow Scot?

Do you still live there? I am from just outside the great city of Glasgow.

I agree there has always been a trend where the PAL releases have been pushed back, but more recently the release schedule hasn't been that bad - well Ninty aside, the gits how does it take for trauma centre wii to be released over here - nearly 8 frieaking months man.

Soz, rant over.

Bubbles for the fellow scot

[Vip3r]

I am a Scot. From Ayrshire no less. PM me your PSN if ya want.

[The Wood]

no question. no review could change my mind. my minds made up and warhawk could get 5.5 for all i care, it wouldn't change a thing

[GoLeafsGo]

5.5?

Screw that. Warhawk could get a NEGATIVE SCORE for all I care.
I'm still buying it asap.

[The Wood]

minus 5.5 even

[EZCheez]

I also don't give a damn who writes these reviews either. If anything anyone who gives this game a high score only earns more credibility with me. I already know this game is amazing.

[cr33ping_death]

hell yeah its an awsome game.....you were in the beta too right? i love how desperate fanboys like the MART hate on anything remotely SONY.

[EZCheez]

Yeah, I was in the beta. I think we played each other a few times too. From what I remember you were pretty good.

If anyone wants to join our A5 clan in Warhawk let me or HuddyMonster know. We will be recruiting very soon and we have very low standards. To us, it's all about having fun. Kicking people's asses is still priority, but if you wanna join a clan that actually TRIES to play together let us know. That goes for anyone in here by the way.

[toughNAME]

i would give this games gameplay 10/10 in a heart beat

but the graphics ...there nice..but not up to par with other games being released
i think the rating is a little high...i would have said 8.5 - 9 would be more appropriate

[resistance100]

They aren't eye candy, however for online you don't really want too much detail as the more detail the more chance of lag. With 32player online aswell lag is the last thing people need

[crck]

Like I said in a previous post I can't take any website seriously when they don't even bother to spell check. But Warhawk is a great game. I'd say a solid 9 to 9.5 IF it came with more maps and vechicles. As is though its still the best multiplayer experience on the PS3 until maybe UT3 comes out.

[Bazookajoe_83]

But i trust the people who have, not one has said this game isnt awsome (Except TheMart, but i doubt he played anything from Sony). I wouldnt give a damn if it got a 3 from ign or any other site, this to me has been proven by the people who played it!

[EZCheez]

Peoples' opinions that you see in forums like this sometimes hold more validity than any review you will ever read. I don't know who is affiliated with what when it comes to specific organizations and reviewing magazines and websites, but I do know I don't always agree with them after having first-hand experience with certain games.

Let me put it to you like this. Before I was in the Warhawk beta, my PS3 was turned on every couple of days. When I joined, I was glued to the controller for the next month. I was thinking strategies while I was at work, and anticipating getting home as fast as I could to achieve a higher rank and get better with weapons. I haven't had half as much fun with any game on the PS3 as I had with the beta, and that is saying a considerable amount considering the beta would freeze a lot.

THIS game is a reason I bought a PS3. What's funny is that I had no idea until I actually played it.

[Sayai jin]

Did not play the beta, but have seen trailers for it. True, I never heard of this site, so some may discount the reviews as pointless. I think it gives PS3 owners something to look forward too. We should start to see reviews from the more popular sites soon. I expected the game to get good reviews. I will wait for for the ultimate reviewer, ME!

[Fighter]

buying it for sure

[INehalemEXI]

Great month, Got some bioshock to play solo and some warhawk to play with buds. Next month looking good too , matter of fact theres probably at least 2 games I must have eventually coming out every month for the rest of this year and on into 08. Ahh 07 it was a good year. Wallets looking anarexic though. 8(

[TheExecutive]

im very very excited for this game. its gonna rock big time. i am also happy that they support the headset I already own. anyway, i wasnt in the beta but by watching the videos and the reactions from people in the beta this looks like its going to be an instant classic. Leave their no doubt that this simple down to earth MP game will sell tons and tons of games.

[TheMART]

BTW

How can a game, without a single player part, can ever deserve a 9.6? I've heard many Sony fanboys say about for example Bioshock, how it could get almost perfect scores with having no online/multiplayer. Its even more strange to have no single player

Explain that to me please. Warhawk, probably a fun game, but I guess IGN and other quality reviewers won't give it ratings this high.

[resistance100]

why does a game need single player? likewise why does it need multiplayer?

Each game is different and with more and more people online expect more multiplayer only games to arrive. A rating is given on how well it has achieved what it is set out to do.

[rukusa]

Seriously why?

Youre obviously going out of your way to downplay EVERYTHING thats positive about the games.

Im sure you got some good games to play on xbox live right now, or maybe the lag made it boring for you.

[Mr VideoGames]

Games got to have a Single Player to tell there Story, i really don't see how any Online Only Game can get this High this review is senseless

[techie]

If you go in knowing it's a multiplayer only game - then so be it. You can't complain about it being too short in this instance - as it's as short/as long as you want it to be.

Being only multiplayer shouldn't be a weakness - especially if the price is good - it's not a full priced game. Therefore, the only part you should be reviewing is the multiplayer and how good that is. Giving a score of 7/10 when the quality of the multiplayer experience is actually 9.5/10 would be misconstruing how good the experience actually is.

Don't you think?

ps/ I'm all for single player only games. I prefer singleplayer - lots of people prefer multi.

[DrPirate]

Counter-Stike and Counter-Strike Source

(Not to mention Team fortress) Just owned everyone who replied.

[Rageanitus]

World of warcraft.

Its like games like UT and q3a.
They dont need single player.

I guess again your blinded by your xbox fanboyism

[Foliage]

Let TheMART comment on all the articles he wishes to, he is probably killing time while his 360 is in the shop again. Judging from how much time he spends on these forums it seems like a constant problem.

[Gizmo_Logix]

theMART and VideoGames4Life,

You say that games need single player to tell a story, huh?

Games like Bioshock are story first and shooter second. The 1st person perspective is what drives the story in Bioshock. There is no need to have a multiplayer game build around Bioshock since the game's story is central to the game play. Sure, you could slap multiplayer on it. But why? There's no need.

Warhawk, on the other hand is a team oriented combat game. There's no story. Only battles and strategy. We make our own stories on-line! The game was built with on-line team action first and foremost. Sure, you could slap on a single player story. But why? It wouldn't be the same game and would defeat the purpose of on-line real time combat.

[MarioFromTexas]

Halo2, single player maybe a 7.5 (and that's being generous) but multiplayer 9.0 but it got a 9.6 overall..

If a game is only multiplayer, how can you deduct points for single player when it's something it doesn't have. Reveiw a game for what it is, multiplayer game only.

If they are going to deduct points for multiplayer then they need to deduct points from wii games for graphics, because how can a wii game get a 10 in graphics when they don't even look as good as the worst looking game on 360

[Bathyj]

Its good you have no interest in this game Mart. You can save up now for Microsoft AntiVirus for XBox360 2008 Edition.

Should be out just before Christmas.

[Bnet343]

I'd buy this game over Lair, HS, and Uncharted. It reminds me a lot like Battlefield 2, and that game was fun.

[Foliage]

I'm not buying Lair, the game never inspired anything in me. However it is a tough call to make between Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, and Warhawk. They are all incredible games that are on the top of my list.

[EZCheez]

I also face this predicament. I can't really see myself pulling away from this game long enough to play the others. Besides, by the time this game I wear this game out (that could take a LONG time) there will be a lot of other big games out. Wait and see, I guess.

[Bathyj]

@Foliage
Not getting Lair? Are you mad? (Not really asking, that just an expression).

I think Lair and Warhawk are perfect together.

Lair for its incredible scale, epic story and chaotic action.

Warhawk for brilliant multiplayer and chaotic action.

They will be excellent counterparts to each other. Both for me. Its not often you get a good flight combat game. We're lucky enough to be getting 2.

[Ju]

I'll probably go with all four. And in that order WH-Lair-HS-Uncharted (fits into the release date, I guess). I was amazed by the WH demo at E3 last year - best tilt function so far -, Lair: 1080p @30fps, enough said, HS - cinematics/environment and Uncharted: biggest surprise (and next gen Tombraider and more). (but before I have to get Graw2).

[Sayai jin]

Honestly, I think for this gen of gaming people (reviewers) will be looking for something new, like Bioshock (just one example). I think famous franchises like MGS, Halo, etc will get goo reviews based on ther popularity, but the ones that will get rave reviews will be the games that no one have seen before (graphics, gameplay, etc).

[Foliage]

MGS has more new elements to it than Bioshock. You should really read up on your material before you comment.

[Ju]

I do not agree. I think Bioshock's implementation is outstanding. The new approach to the story, the whole background, the idea. Amazing. But I personally would not rate a game with this high level of violence 10/10. Sorry, maybe that's just my opinion, but a game that good should be able to drive the story without excessive violence. It is a strange trend, that the most violent games get the highest ratings (same with Gears IMO). Don't get me wrong, I still love to play shooters. But then, I am old enough, too.

[i Shank u]

so, you would have no problem playing bioshock, a shooter, but no matter how good it was youd have trouble rating it high because of the violence? you are playing a shooter, based on shooting weapons, which is one of the most violent acts there are. don't be suprised, then, if its violent, sir.

[techie]

Good score, lame website.

[THC CELL]

least they try and are honest,

[EZCheez]

I'm really surprised you would think something like that. How can this website not get anything other than more credibility from this review? A lot of people seem to forget that this game has been played fully by a lot of us who post on this site. I for one agree with this review and think that it is not only fair, but accurate as well. Others can disagree with what this writer thinks, but their opinion against his holds no more validity than the other. In fact, how can you hold this review any lower than one from a more "credible" website?

It mainly bothers me that you would say this considering the source of some of your stories back when you were the top contributor.

[techie]

EZ you have to remember that anything I posted as a contributer does not mean I agreed with what they said at all. I often disagree whole heartedly. I often think the website is "lame".

It's lame because of grammar, the slight fanboy tone "Sony have one this console war with games like..." - and the other reviews on the website.

Plus this little speal from the site puts me right off them:

"From here on in, everything from reviews to news will deal solely with the Playstation brand. Let us explain why we felt Next Gen Ireland needed to change.

Firstly, E3. Yes E3 was the turning point for Next Gen Ireland. Before E3 kicked off, our editors had a long and serious discussion about where to take Next Gen Ireland in the future. After a very successful year online, our editors felt the site was becoming a little predicable and mundane. We needed a change, and to become a sole brand exclusive site is possibly the biggest change we could do. After withnessing some very exciting stuff coming from the Sony camp at E3 it was clear to everyone which brand we would be supporting. Not one of us felt overly excited about previewing the Wii weighing scales and with the constant redesign and warrenty extensions and lagging sales for the Xbox 360, Sony really was the best choice. With 100's of games on the way for the PS2, PSP and the PS3, we got very excited about Sonys future and decided this really is the best decision for the future of Next Gen Ireland."

If I'd found this first I would have still posted it - doesn't mean I think the website is amazing just because I used it as a source.
:)

[tony]

i wouldn't trust a website review that give call of duty 3 for the wii 9.3. in other words , how do they review games?

[TheMART]

EXACTLY

That's what I've been pointing out, but PS3 fans are so happy to see some descent games that they don't want to hear that kind of things. COD3 on the Wii giving AAA status makes a reviewing party instantly a nonfactor in meaningfull reviewing sites.

Its just simple as that. It isn't just for fun that they made a downloadable/not full priced game of Warhawk. Because its just good, not great. Good, but 9.6 is AAA and that's just overrated.

[Bathyj]

You may be right. Gears of War got 10. How overrated is that?

[ChefDejon]

well then in that case lets just wait to post a review from The Mart

[Ju]

But before, someone should tell him, his Xbox can't play blu rays :) (sorry - tried to be funny :)

[Mattguy]

I will admit to being a big sony fan boy. And I'm definitely getting this game-I'm dying for it. But I'm not really expecting it too get REALLY good reviews. I mean there are virtually only three vehicles and almost no weapons. But that's the only possible downpoint I could think of and there bound to make downloadable content to fix it, but reviewers aren't going to see it that way sadly.

[crck]

But it could use more vechicles and maps.

[Makroyale]

Looks like about a 9.0/10.0... I think it's going to be great to play and I'm buying it right away.

That being said, the reviewing site is a PS3 fan site and they gave Call of Duty a high score, so I'll wait to see the IGN etc. reviews but I'm still buying.

[crippler666]

I will own this game day 1. It is a fast paced multiplayer frag fest. Dare I even say it, maybe online multi player of the year?

[skitzoid]

I am really excited to take Warhawk out for a spin myself. I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

[DeZimatoR]

"Heavenly Sword by some unknown former East European country, even not in English?"

Are you American? Cause you really sound like one talking like that. Freaking arrogant sob...the country is called Poland, and FYI, not everyone in the world speaks enligh ;)

BTW, I'll be waiting for your review on Warhawk, should be pretty fun to read! In the meanwhile, I'll just look at this quote from GamesRadar about Warhawk and smile: "The online blast we'll still be playing when Halo 3 is a distant memory"

Cheers!

[RH06]

Can't wait, think I will download if it is going to be cheaper!

[Daz]

Any one know the price yet? If its to expensive im not bothering just for a mutiplayer.

[Bazookajoe_83]

But i think the Eu psn Cost´s 20£. Thats about half the price of an ordinary game, so count on half the price if u download it (Or full price and get a Jabre headset)

[Figboy]

i had a hell of a time during the Beta, so this is certainly a day one purchase for me.

do i agree with the 9.6 score?

i don't know. i think i do. i mean, the game is *FUN. fun, in that, when you *AREN'T playing Warhawk, you're asking yourself; "Why am i not playing Warhawk right now?"

sadly, i was cheated out of the long beta, and only got on for 7 days, but what a 7 days it was.

and i'm a guy that *HATES playing games online, because, most of the time, stupid douches ruin the experience, but Warhawk was sublime.

it's just pure fun.

i was going through *WITHDRAWALS when the beta ended. they have my $60 come August 28th.

[bootsielon]

But then I saw that everything on the site is PS3 related. It's not even a big source for news. That's a negative to the review...

The positive is that it's not a fanboyish rant, nor that it's just a paragraph. IT's a well written article. So, that's a positive.

Let's just wait till the next reviews, although we now have an idea of what to expect...

[FirstknighT]

The new issue of Zimbabwe Gaming just released their review for this game. I think Iraq Camel Gaming is also releasing a review soon.

[Bazookajoe_83]

So lets dont giva fly and fukc about them, it´s realy important that u live in a country that mathers, right?

[Foliage]

Typical 360 homer.

To think the US has no idea how much the world makes fun of them.

[FirstknighT]

What I'm trying to say is a respectable site/mag is better than just a no name. For example any movie at the theater no matter how crappy it is can find a "one of the best movies in years" review. But when you get the "thumbs up" from Siskel and Roeper...you know your getting quality.

"To think the US has no idea how much the world makes fun of them."

Yet MILLIONS of people risk death crossing deserts, oceans, mountains to get to the US for a better living. I guess it's pretty nice over here.

[sjappie]

this site gave resistance a 9.7 and ridge racer a 9.25. You know, RIIIDGE RAACERRR!!!!.
So I think the bigger unbiased sites will give it a lower score, not that it matters, it's just not an AAA title.

[Bazookajoe_83]

1: U could have said "STOP POSTING THESE NO NAME REVIEW SITES!" that in the beginning.
2: Why are u even commenting this news? how did u see it? and do you own a ps3?
3: "Yet MILLIONS of people risk death crossing deserts, oceans, mountains to get to the US for a better living. I guess it's pretty nice over here." That only means that the country´s around you has it realy bad. I dont think a country were 5% of the people own 95% of the country´s money and vice versa is so much to brag about, it only means that a few has it good and even more has it bad. And by the looks of it the gap is getting even bigger. I have nothing against the americans (Except that they are trying to police the world) but tone down the attitude.

[Armyless]

There's no need to go there... ever. Well, maybe at the Olympics, World Cup, British Open, Wimbledon, X-games, and Beerfest. But other than that I doubt any of us are EXPERTS in our own national social affairs, let alone other countries'.

[Kyur4ThePain]

(and you know who you are) are so funny.
OMG! A good score for a PS3 game. I have to get in the discussion and do some damage control!

Do you people really feel so insecure as to have to rely on OTHER people's opinions about something so you can feel that you made the right decision?

Many of us were in the WH beta, and trust US when we tell you it's a friggin' awesome game.
I don't need ANY site to tell me whether it gets an 8, a 9 or whatever.
As far as I'm concerned (and I'm pretty sure anyone on the beta will agree) it's a 10.

[DEADEND]

WARHAWK is just one of many AAA title coming out for the PS3, i'm not surprise that it got a score like that.

[sleepbox]

I must admit, it looks very nice. I would pick up for sure if I owned a Ps3.

[junk56]

man you guys are weird. OMG why does it need singleplayer? why does it need multiplayer? god dammit dont make the game then.

[SF49er408]

THAT IS LIKE A USER MADE PS3 SITE. HE GIVES IT A 9.7 THATS RIDICULOUS. GRAPHICS BETTER THEN GAMEPLAY LMAO. COMPLETE BULL. IGN WILL GIVE IT A 8.9.

[thereapersson]

They bash the PS3 for having no games. They bash the PS3's fans for over-hyping games. Yet, when a game, one that almost EVERYONE who has PLAYED THE THING gives it tons of praise, the 360 fanboys STILL bash the hell out of it. Mart, you have no say in this matter, as I know for a fact you not only do not own a PS3, but have not played Warhawk. Who the hell cares if it doesn't have a single player mode? The game is damn fun, though you wouldn't know since you weren't lucky enough to get into the beta.

I agree that we need to wait for more credible websites to review these big games, but you 360 fanboys aren't even giving any credit at all to this game.

[crippler666]

Some people are never going to praise the PS3. It could be $200, come with 5 Blu-Ray films and 5 games of your choice.... But it still would not be enough. Some people cannot accept that all companies make mistakes and quotes are blown out of all proportion. Even worse they cannot accept when something good is released on another console.

Just because it is not a publication that you can pick up from the shelve does not mean that a person's opinion should mean any less. Some publications mark down scores because it appears on another console, so what if you don't own that other console? Is the enjoyment any less? Any review is personal opinion, nothing else is gonna count accept your own anyway.

IMO this is one of the best games I have ever played, yes there are many games like it, but its just has a little more where you need it.

[b777conehead]

marts 360 must be in the shop again

[xiv_R_A_I_D_E_R_]

i would give the game a 9 when i played it during the beta it was very fun but im more of a socom fan then arcadey like games like warhawk but its the only other online shooter i've enjoyed playing other than socom

[ALIEN]

i think WARHAWK will be the best game online for this year. WELL! it's going to be between WARHAWK n HALO3.

[fopums]

sry double post...

[fopums]

I woudlnt be suprised with warhawk getting a 9 from IGN when it comes, the most fun I've had with online gameplay.

[Phaqutomb]

when i was in the beta for warhawk i thought the game had a feel like i was playing starwars battle front the way the person moved. hopefully they fixed this. that was my only complaint when i played the beta. i was reading on kotaku that some gaming sight. I believe it was EGM or 1up were saying they would drop 1 point from the total if Sony never said how much it was going to cost to download the game.

[thereapersson]

Sony already said that the game will cost 39.99 to download, and 59.99 for the retail version with the headset. These gaming websites knocking games for dumbass reasons are simply exhibiting poor journalism.

[Violater]

What the hell is going on, It seems people's memory do not serve them nearly as well as their hypocrisy.

[Honor_in_Armor]

Look, the best video game review is a review based on a video game self played. Your opinion might not be the same as any other game reviewers source such as IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy, EGM, GI, etc, so no matter who gives a rating to what game it shouldn't matter if YOU enjoy it. If YOU, as the gamer seeking entertainment play the game, you can give your OWN opinionated score of what you FEEL the game is worth. No one can argue with what you feel. That's what BETAs are for. That is why it is senseless because situations will go absolutely nowhere if people argue against each other about which flavor of ice cream is best or which movie genre is most compelling. That's pointless because each person has their preference. If you rate a game based on what platform it's on or which company published it that's your choice/problem. It's all about experiencing the FUNness and atmosphere of gameplay. And also one more thing. I'm sure that while playing the "multiplayer-only" game called WarHawk you'll forget that you needed "single-player" mode in the first place as the game immersion will just suck you right in.

[BoneMagnus]

I love good online play - its why I bought a 360 - and the 360 has delivered bigtime, but Warhawk looks like an absolute blast. Keep it up, Sony and you'll have my inevitable purchase of a PS3 sooner rather than later!

Need more time and money - any suggestions?

[PS-Wii-60]

Yes, I do.
Build yourself a time machine =)

That's a sure fix for your first issue, time. Obviously you'll have all the time you need.
But, you can kill 2 birds with one stone.
Now, use your time machine to go back and buy stock in M$/Sony the day they were first listed on NASDAQ. If you do this you will be a millionaire today!

Hope that helps =P

[Honor_in_Armor]

http://www.associatedconten...

There's 2 pages of tips to getting your self a PS3 or at least getting closer to one.

As for me, I'm trying to get all systems eventually. :O Greedy me.

[mccomber]

from what I played in the beta; but it is a damn fine game, and one that I'll be purchasing the day it comes out. This is the game that will kick down the door and usher in a fall full of great PS3 gaming.

[brianodom]

warhawk gets the job done...i was in the beta and had massive withdrawal aafterwards. 9.0 - 10 anyday

[btkadams]

this game will get good reviews, but i think that reviewer was a little bit bias.

im getting it day one though. woooo

[DuceWilly947]

YYYYEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

[Loudninja]

Alomst ever 5 mintues an no named site was posted with a Bioshock review, no one complain at all

[junk56]

the reviews wont come in until a few days after teh game's release because it is multiplayer only and the reviewers need to play the game thoroughly online. i hope i get a chance to play with IGN, 1up or Gamespot and whoop ALLLL their assess :D :D :D :D

[synetic]

humm didn't played the beta but if keeps getting scores like this i will buy for sure ...

[Honcho]

I'm a proud owner of a ps3 and 360. All I can say is I'm going to be busy playing this and halo 3 online non stop!! Can't wait!! But at the end of the review they say downloadable august or pick up in store september??? I thought both versions were available aug. 28??

[crck]

Europe is getting the retail version a couple of weeks later then the US.

[GoLeafsGo]

If you're downloading, have you considered making a US PSN account?

[darkequitus]

I have an account for all 3 territories as the EU PSN is currently lacking

[Mandangoof]

You just have to nitpick (hypocritically I might add) over everything. Nothing pleases you like the plump penis of Microsoft inside your rectums.

[PS-Wii-60]

Too funny and nice wording (although, the image it conjures in my mind is a little too vivid!)

I'm giving you the Quote of the Year award
and bubbles to go along with it!

[CaliGamer]

Nice review, Sony did multiplayer how it should be, it is what Shadowrun never was and so much more. This game will be pre-purchased tomorrow.
Its funny to see the same 3 people bashing the review, but what is most interesting is most of the 360 fanatics know to stay away. Citing nonsensical reasons why Warhawk shouldn't get a high score, such as "No Single Player (See. Shadowrun), not enough maps (See. Shadowrun), Crapy a$$ game (Only refer to to Shadowrun). Hell, even one of the biggest XBOTS on this site (Bladestar) admitted that he will buy a PS3 to play this game. Face it, Sony makes killer first party games, and these serve as excellent advertisements for what that system has to offer. I predict a great many things changing once this game comes out, and when HOME is released, then its really on. Lets just say Live and the "ADVANTAGES" it enjoys might not be so impressive in a years time or as early as xmas.
On a side note, VideoGames4life needs to get his face out of TheMart's anus, it almost seems like you have a boy crush on him. Quit hiding from the truth, WarHawk will be a beast.
Feel free to respond one and all.

[ApocalypseShadow]

LAIR-good flying game using sixaxis
HOT SHOTS GOLF-great golf game
HEAVENLY SWORD-great action game
WARHAWK-great online multiplayer game that's downloadable off psn
MOTORSTORM-great offroad game for those that haven't picked up a ps3
RESISTANCE-great fps with 40 player online dedicated servers for those that haven't picked up a ps3
UNCHARTED-will be a great adventure game
RATCHET-will be a great platformer
LITTLE BIG PLANET-will be a great creative multiplayer game
GT5 PROLOGUE-45 million selling series speaks for itself
HOME-will be a great online diversion inbetween playing games
SINGSTAR-has proven to sell millions to the singing crowd

and this is not counting ANY third party games like HAZE,NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA,UT3,STRANGLEHOLD,etc.

it's also not counting all the hot boxoffice hit movies that will be coming out this fall exclusive to bluray and playable on ps3.

people like mart can downplay all day.or look for bad reviews to comment on but run away when good news arrives.sorry,the world's not listening.sony has a more diverse lineup than microsoft has.and WARHAWK is one of them.microsoft had 2 years.they lost japan,barely hanging on in europe,and it's only a matter of time and a lower price in america.

again:

HALO3-SHOOTER
MASS EFFECT-SCIFI RPG SHOOTER
BIOSHOCK-UNDERWATER SHOOTER

as good as they probally are or will be,that's not a lineup.since third party games will be on both,ps3 has an advantage of pleasing more people beyond SHOOTER fans.plus,sony has a bigger fanbase of ps1/ps2 gamers.if HALO3 doesn't move systems,welllllll............

hmmmmmmm......will those ps1/ps2 gamers upgrade to 360?or will they upgrade to ps3 because they can still play 99% of all their old games they had fun with on ps3?

FANBASE PEOPLE.and WARHAWK is leading the charge.GO WARHAWK GO!!!GO PS3 GO!!!

..................mag lev super train...............TGS FFVII(oops,did i say that?prove me right square)

[felidae]

people like TheMART are so sad. you must be a blind fanboy if you not see that the line-up for the ps3 is much better.

i really like my 360 for what it is .... a shooter-system.

i'm not a fanboy .. here's proof:

[duarteq]

LOL, with all that shooters i think the 3fixme will change name do XFPS BOX in a few days lol. I'm sick and tired of FPS. I've played BIOSHOCK, sure it has really good graphics but the gameplay is the same of other 1000 FPS, and in my opinion the game should be a 8/9 instead of 10... But it's my opinion. I like games. I have a PS3 and a Wii, but i admit for instance that i would like to see a Gears in PS3, it's true, so i'm honest when we talk if this or that game is good or no...

[cooke15]

Why do people keep posting these poorly written reviews?

[QuackPot]

By the overwhelming positive response to the beta this game is a sure winner.

So enough with reviews. This is a no brainer.

I'd prefer more reputable and unbiased reviews on Lair as it is a game that's yet to prove itself.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

Its a PS fan site, that doesnt mean review is bad. But I trust IGN better.

[kewlkat007]

I've never heard of but this game does not need great graphics.

It looks like a vehicle multi-player carnage, reminiscent of "Twisted Metal 2(one of my favorite games in that genre), except they added arial combat planes.

This game should be all about "GamePlay" and "destruction" Kill, Kill, Kill or be killed.

MY only problem I don't own a PS3 but this one should be fun. Not a game I would care about the graphics much. Similar to Halo, all about the gameplay and replay value.

Hopefully it gets better scores from LEGIT sites.

[Salvadore]

Review was written poorly, will just wait till Ign, Gametrailers and the rest write there's.

[felidae]

This game will be amazing. Can't wait to play it.

at some guys above:

who cares that you already play Dirt on your 360? i wanna play it on the ps3 because a) it looks much better and b) is runs twice as fast as the 360 version.

so, go fCK you guys and have fun with the inferior Dirt on xbox.

[duarteq]

"Games got to have a Single Player to tell there Story, i really don't see how any Online Only Game can get this High this review is senseless "

Tell that to the 9 Million Wow Registered Players lol. I don't see a single player there but sure it sells like dope lol

[Bathyj]

People can b*tch about this unknow website all they like but it doesn't change the fact just about everyone whose played it agrees pretty closly to the score.

The bots say I'll wait for IGN or Gamespot which is fine, wait if you need to be sure its good, but if your wait cos your hoping it will get a worse score I say you're FKN sad. Ill be interested to know what other sites say too, but as far as whether this game is worth getting or not, I already know what I need to know.

PS
IGN and Gamespot have been pretty much whores since they started charging for what they used to give you for free anyway. IGN not so much, Gamespot definately. You need to get all your shots before visiting that site.

[88 movement]

Warhawk is the pwnz00rs.

[Maldread]

So it`s a bit hard what to make of the score for me, i don`t it will score this high with IGN and GameSpot due to it`s lack of singleplayer to be honest. I don`t think it will score as high in the graphics-section either.

But from what i`ve heard of those who played the beta, it seems like a very funny game and worth a buy. If you don`t need the headset, it`s also half the price if i remembered correctly, so it`s also sounds like good value to me (something Microsoft should have done with it`s Shadowrun-game).

[sak500]

Did you guys know, that Malawi Game Informer reveiwed Lair and gave it 11 out of 10? No well neither did i. WEll the point is let the credible sites review it and then either cry about it or laugh about it, till then evryone STFU.

[fin]

credible sites = us/uk sites?

[EZCheez]

As to what makes one website's REVIEWS more credible than another. If we were talking about release dates or specific news that one website may be privy to before another maybe I would understand your argument, but this website gave a REVIEW. You will get the exact same from IGN, EGM, Gamespot, 1UP, PSM, Game Informer, and anyone else that I forgot to mention.

So this REVIEW is written by a person. One who loves video games I guess. One who loves them enough to dedicate a career in the field of journalism to write about video games. So what exactly makes this guy's opinion any less credible? If anything a lot of reviewers that write for the more major publications and websites are hired more for their journalistic qualities than their love of video games. So please try again to explain (with a valid point) as to why WE need to STFU.

[ip-student]

(from a score perspetive) can be determined based on the related reviews. I personally discount reviews of console specific sites - they at most could only be neutral with respect to other games on the console. Typically they need to support the fanboy idiots with outrageous ratings.

To me it seems like a stretch for a pure online fragging game to get a AAA rating. It may be a blast but AAA games are supposed to be more than that. They are supposed to be transecend prior games. It seems like Warhack isn't deep enough to do that. Now, if you could take the mechanics and put it in game allows for some story then I would be interested. Otherwise it is just Counterstrike in the air - that is not bad but not a AAA title. For online fragging it sounds like people like it, that is great because games are supposed to be fun. Just don't pretend it is something it is not.

[solidt12]

On day one I will be the King of Warhawk. The Servers over at Sony will be buzzing.

[monkey602]

And I loved it so personally I couldn't care what score it gets by so and so if I like it thats all that really matters. People get too hung up on some of these things and forget the reason they play games FOR ENJOYMENT! If you like it and nobody else does who cares

[Leg-End]

i'll wait for ign, ops-uk and play uk magazine

and mart should stop talkin shyte about this website cos he submitted an article on this site

[Violater]

Not much longer to wait guys, see you in those cloudy Skies.
Just watch out for my WarHawk

[Meus Renaissance]

I bought my PS3 just to play Warhawk :)

[Chris399]

Here we have frothing fanbois at each end of the Sony/ Microsoft spectrum (Wii fanbois exist in some alternate, psychedelic, mushroom-fielded, plumbersexual universe devoid of reason or technological facts and progress).

Just so we're clear, the both of you are illiterate homophobes, likely the result of several generations of vicious, direct (son to mother, sister to father; probably even son to father, so I really don't understand all the gay hate) inbreeding.

Your opinions are what lower the idea of gaming as an acceptable hobby/ lifestyle/ art-form.

For the sake of us all, and to save whatever dignity you have, please, please - in the words of the immortal Archie Bunker - stifle yourselves.

The rest of you, congrats for making legible arguments - regardless of what your favorite console may be.

Cheers all,
- C

[thereapersson]

Well said. Bubble for you.

[darkequitus]

Here! Here!

[killer_trap]

think that this score is a sing for things to come for this game.

[monkey602]

For those who were in the BETA will they still have their customised Warhawks? Mine has monkey isignias

[solidt12]

This game will keep me busy until the Metal Gear Online Beta start in America THIS YEAR ONLY ON THE PS3. It might come to the 360 but it will be next year. MGS4 will only be on the PS3.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

isnt MGO Beta restricted to Japan? Warhawk looks like it can last a lot more than a half year. I didnt disagree

[eagle21]

I might check it out! I still need a headset for my PS3....Anybody play the beta?

[sonarus]

hahaha no need to flame peoples we all knew this day was coming. You can all yell this is waiting this is waiting. Ps3 owners get ready for some warhawk

[Dogswithguns]

at WarHawk.... well, most.

[PS3rd place]

they have low-standard of gaming.
and now they have low-standard of website reviews.

Enjoy my Blu-Ray.

[Captain Tuttle]

It''l be a really good game, especially for $40.

[Yosking]

I want to fly those jets with my six-axis and do flips in the air and swoop down and right when im about to hit the ground swoop up lol
rock on ps3

[HeavyweightInTheGame]

But I will definetely grab this once I see more reviews and they better be good, official reviews from RELIABLE sources. But, I still think I will be playing Bioshock and HALO 3 more than this. But I still think this will be a good game worth grabbing.

[DaEnforcer]

All the xbot lemmings must be pretty mad if this article gets so many responses. Poor xbots, shooters is all they have haha

[Leg-End]

we need a n4g clan on there

@ps3rd place ----- erm, okay...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Why are you guys using DiRT to back up the 360? Of course, most of you probably haven't played Motorstorm...so, it's understandable.

There's really no denying how good this game is. The graphics are actually a LOT better than you guys are giving it credit for. Fifty bucks says it garners better reviews than Halo 3.

Yes, I'll get dissed for bringing up Halo 3, but it's worth it to show you guys that Halo really did NOTHING for the genre. Large marketing and less-than-doom multiplayer made this the title it is.

Warhawk just...wins.

[DuceWilly947]

online fest ever

[Vip3r]

It sure will. With all the dedicated servers too it should play like a dream.

[aiphanes]

Will love this game. I was in the beta and it was the most fun i hever had on any video game i ever played!

You have never lived till you had a 32 player warhawk dogfight!
You have never lived till you spawned in a bunker and used you knife to slice the throats of spawing people!

This game is so much fun...plus they upped the graphics from the beta.

[Demon1980]

It should be a 10 lol. Seriously, this game is what games are actually about, FUN. This game is one of the funnest games that I have ever played.

[ReconHope]

Its only a reliable source/site when you want it to be eh?

Remember this Mart?
http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

Ahh...the pinnacle of fanboyism....

[Raptors]

Nextgen Ireland??? Sorry guys. I don't doubt that this game will eb fantastic, however, I'd rather wait to hear from a 1up, gamespot or IGN first.

[Shaka2K6]

I always knew this game was going to be the best online game this year, so far its a must buy for me the beta alone destroys any beta out there and im glad if focuses only on online play beacuase so far looks like its gonna be perfection, i had my doubts between Socom Unreal 3 or WarHawk but the only game this year but seems like we have a winner now.

[UltimateTroll]

By the end of september there will be no stopping PS3, they have like over 15 games comming out or something like that.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

At least it s better then Shadow Run...for the 360..lol jk I like shadow Run personally...

[sonarus]

I really didnt expect such high reviews but if this game gets a 10 i really wouldnt be suprised. I predict the reviews will creep to a 9 just because of the 40 dollar price even though the retail version is a really good deal. I have played this game and i IMO this game is probably the most fun i have had with any online shooter that being said i havnt played many but i have played the big ones. Unreal, Quake, Halo all dat stuff. Its a shame this game isnt multiplat because xbox owners wnt need to hate on the game. We will wait for the ign and gamespot review, Incognito did an excellent job with this title and i am looking forward to playing this game. Just upgraded my hard drive to 160GB so bring on the dwnload baby:D

[d3l33t]

bottom line, this is a must buy for ps3 owners. More people need headsets!

[Latham99]

Alright now I'm confused. How do you contrast between a 6.5 from PSM and a 9.6? Being a beta tester I agree more with this review, maybe not a 9.6 but an 8.6 would be reasonable.
