1up gives Warhawk a 8.5

On paper, Warhawk may not seem all that special. The game includes only five maps, after all. Only four game types. It may sound fairly limited, actually. And if you were paying 60 bucks at retail for the game itself (rather than the game plus a Bluetooth headset), you might justifiably feel like you were missing something. But for the -- admittedly pricey -- $40 you'll pay to download the game, you're getting a better deal than you might think.

considering that it is coming from 1up -----the worst website full of nasty BOTS

anyway we dont care about the reviews of GAYGM, 1up,EUROGAMER and GAMESPOT

their words are like toliet papers .

with no value and ready to be flushed

[WaggleLOL]

No one gives a crap about what the Xbots over 1Up have to say.

Hurray up and go out of business you losers.

32 players per game
Dedicated servers
Free to play forever
40 dollar download from PSN
60 dollar BluRay with very good headset in stores this week
Both air and ground combat

Everyone in the beta absolutely loved the game. Easily online console game of the year.

EGM/1Up are clearly feeling the heat from their pathetic fanboy trashing of PS3 games.

EGM/1Up Credibility == ZERO

[Gamespot-equals-EGM]

Wow, I didn't expect a score like this from 1up. Weren't the guys at 1up the ones who said they would deduct a point from the review if the downloadable version was over 30 bucks?

Gosh, with this 1up review and the EGM review (of HS and Warhawk, both favorable), I may have to re-think my position on 1up, EGM and anti-ps3 bias.

Thanks 1up for keeping an open mind about Warhawk and allowing it to impress you (either negatively or positively). Good job.

[mike_mgoblue]

.
6.5 out of 10 is the rating Warhawk received from PSM magazine.

Warhawk is a game that REQUIRES at least two people to play...and that is NOT a good thing!!!

Warhawk is a game that has TERRIBLE balance! PSM is correct when they point out it is NOT a good thing that a Machine Gun can kill a Warhawk in only a few seconds, and a man on the ground holding a Rocket Launcher can kill the Warhawk in just ONE SHOT!!! That is NOT good game balance!!!

Warhawk deserves the rating of 6.5 out of 10 it got from PSM.

[big_tim]

haven't played it. It is one of the best multiplayer games out there. It is simple to just jump in and play. As for you argument that you have to have two people to play it is bad. HELLO, it is a muliplayer ONLY game. That is not a surprise.

You say it has terrible balance, that is proof you haven't played it. I was surprised how balanced it actually is.

[junk56]

awesome. something new and fresh ps3 needs. i dont know one person that isnt getting this game, it'll be a huge plus for sony

any bluetooth headset works, maybe you set something up wrong...

[snoop_dizzle]

thanks

[macalatus]

@snoop,

Whatever you do, STAY AWAY from Motorola headsets, as many people, including me, are complaining that it can crash your PS3. Jabra and Plantronics are two recommended brands.

@EZ,

Sorry, then the problem lies in the sub-$50 headsets. But a lot of people, including me, were so traumatized and pissed off (I hope you understand) that we decided to avoid Motorola altogether. And please don't take this as some kind of arguing with you, as I sincerely do believe in your case. And I hope to see you "fraggin' happy" online tomorrow, with mic a workin'. ;)

[EZCheez]

I have a Motorola HS850 and it has never crashed my PS3.

[Kleptic]

Snoop...I for some reason had to match my headset to my PS3 twice...the first time the PS3 would recognize it as a mic, but wouldn't activate it for a game or anything...just did the registering process again (read on a forum that sometimes it doesn't work right), and it worked perfectly fine...and has ever since...

I will be picking this up on BD tomorrow if it isn't sold out at the normal stores...if it is, I will buy it online...there is no way I am waiting any longer for this pile of near perfection...

PSN: Kleptic...will see some of you tomorrow night most likely...

[GodofPeace]

be a lot of flaming in this thread becasue a good PS3 game came out. Oo boy will this article get like 200+ comments. Anyways see you all at the skies and get owned by me bitcches!!!

[macalatus]

True, with the Mart writting his attack draft. And with all the great reviews, in addition to the countless positives reported coming from beta testers, the PSM just became a laughing stock to the gaming community.

[PimpHandHappy]

not real sure but it should work! If u have that little piece of paper that came with it and if u know the model number and stuff i dont see why it wouldnt work.

You might want one just for ur game system anyway! Keeps it safe from getting sat on or lost! Mine is a tiny thing! Very cool

looking 4ward to this game!

[SofaKingReetodded]

can the bots here stfu now?

[VendettaWFT]

This game just sold me...its gonna be sick

[zantetsuken]

This will be available tonight, correct? If so, 9:01 PDT or 12:02 PDT?

[hazeblaze]

No, Tuesday night at midnight online or Wed at retail.

[Figboy]

whether or not i want to stay up and download it, or just buy it in the store tomorrow.

on the one hand, a Bluetooth headset would be nice.

on the other hand, i *HATE to hear the nasally whine of teenagers calling me a "noob," and my equally nasally retort (i don't care what *ANYBODY says, your voice always comes out whiny and irksome when played through a speaker of sorts).

of course, i technically don't have the money to buy Warhawk anyway, as my check isn't here yet, so i was going to trade in Fight Night Round 3 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, but i really want to play it tonight!

ah well, i'll probably join you guys tomorrow, or later this week when i get my check.

have fun, this game is awesome!

[Blabbermouth]

Because with downloadable one you have to keep it to one account. Whethers with the Blu-ray version the disc only acts as an activation, and you can use it on multiple accounts. Plus you get the headset, like you mentioned.

[Loudninja]

They did nto say anything bad about the game

[GodofPeace]

it has no single player probably anyways its such a sweet game.

[fopums]

I dont know, probably an unspoken gripe about no single player campaign...good score none the less, wonder what IGN and Gamespot are going to say....

well warhawk pwns anyway :D

[xaphanze]

1-no single player
2-the price

[Hades1337]

they said that if the game retailed at more than $30 then they would knock a full point off of the score. Therefore the game should have been given 9.5

[Pika-pie]

I dont think this game should have been penalized for not having single player. Its a multiplayer game only and people should rate it on what it is. People dont complain that WoW has no single player.

I cant decide on whether or not to get this game, im waiting for the IGN review.

[hotshot1237]

im glad warhawk got a good score. even if it didnt i dont let reviews stop me but i went to walmart today and when i went to the game section. the 360 was having the red rings of death. to be honest, thats the first time ive seen it up close and personal. and its actually 2 rings.lol. but it was the funniest and saddest sight.

anyway, great game, and i could play it without worrying about my system not playing it

[Kleptic]

2 rings is something else...the "hardware failure" that MS extended the warranty on is only pertaining to the display of 3 red rings...and all 4 rings lit up red is when the A/V cable is not hooked up properly or something...the LEDs order all mean different things...

[bung tickler]

you are a tool. even when you have good ps3 news you have to try to star a flame war by saying sh1t about the 360. tard.

cant you just be happy that the ps3 has a good game? on ignore you go.

[INehalemEXI]

2 hrs till download .... A lunar eclipse on warhawk launch morning :D. arrrrooooooh !

[big_tim]

If they gave up on the multiplayer only negative (or lack of single player), it would have a 9.5

After playing the beta, it would matter what they gave it. It is a blast. I will be picking it up this week.

[toughNAME]

how many times has the 360 and the word "xbot' been mentioned already?

No 360 fanboy has said a thing...yet you attack??? come on guys

anyways...ill be the 1st 360fanboy to commet

this is a great score (which was expected)
but..early on...it appears Warhawk isnt even in the same LEAGUE as Bioshock
so Lair and Warhawk couldnt do it...maaybe HS? i hope

and this is all before the September monster

lol i cant wait to see all the scared fanboys come September 25th

[Demon1980]

How come it's not in the same league? The graphics aren't as good? The audio isn't as good? Well, for me and I'm sure many more people in this world, there is a lot more to gaming than just how a game looks. Warhawk is FUN to play. So I don't know why it can't be in the same league.

[Kleptic]

if you are saying not in the same league as in one is single player only, and one is online only...your comment makes sense...otherwise...

If you think it is only reviews that determine how good a game is...you are crazy...Bioshock has already surpassed every 360 game released so far in that regard...yet most people will still say that Gears is better, which I would agree with...I give Bioshock the same criticism as many give Warhawk for the opposite reason...no multiplayer in an FPS is not something that gets me very excited...I still think its a great game (just finished the PC version at a friend's last night)...but I was a little disappointed with the fact that it really has no replay value imo...something that usually is the case with singleplayer only games...especially shooters...

as it stands right now though...Bioshock is the best single player experience in gaming right now...and Warhawk is the best multiplayer...I wouldn't be suprised if that is how the year ends...

[hazeblaze]

You're right that they aren't in the same league... they're totally different types of games you butt wipe. One has an excellent single player and one has an excellent multiplayer.

And unfortunately for xbots, with Warhawk's online... Sony fanboys will not even be paying you guys any attention on Sept 25 no matter how much you want it. Not only was the Warhawk beta better than the Halo beta... but UT3's online is likely to trump both of them! And guess what, you'll only get to experience that in all its glory on one console ;-).

[WIIIS1]

Warhawk is decent. Bring out the champagne and caviar already.

[fenderputty]

Either way ... and 8.5 for an online only game with 4 levels is better then decent gameplay. I'm pretty sure I've see a bunch of fanboys telling me that graphics<gameplay all the time in killzone threads. Obviously this game is fun as hell to play. Seriously .. you aren't even a good troll.

[WilliamRLBaker]

Wow the conspiracy theories have been proven wrong, the consistant scores warhawk received are pretty much in line with the PSM review.

so much for rob smiths supposed fanboy status.

[macalatus]

"the consistant scores warhawk received are pretty much in line with the PSM review."

??????????????????????????... .........????????????????????? ? ???.......
????????????????.........???? ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit that you're the very first person that I do know of in my entire life who couldn't DIFFERENTIATE criticism from bashing. And surprise, surprise...you just couldn't drop the subject either. For your future reference, the score and the main points described in 1up.com AREN'T the same as the ones in PSM scan (yes, I've had looked at that one, too), so I still do not know what the hell do you mean by "consistent score", unless you have some serious comprehension problems. But then again, you do have problems, so there is no sense for me to argue with you.

Oh, wait...I get it!! You do have a secret crush on Rob Smith!! Wow!!

[EZCheez]

The conspiracy theory, but I don't see how these consistant reviews reaffirmed the PSM review. This game has been averaging 8.0 to 9.0 across the board and that is nowhere near the 6.5 PSM gave. Also, if you read the PSM review the writer didn't seem to like anything about the game. Just because a game isn't a 9.5 or greater doesn't mean it isn't a great game. Everything can't be AAA.

I might be on to argue more on this but I doubt it because this game will be coming out in about an hour and you probably won't be hearing from me for the rest of the night.

[WilliamRLBaker]

since no one has updated gamerankings.com we have no average, and thought I do not believe In average scores because alot of sites and mags are unreliable....
I do trust ign, gamespot, and PSM.

1up-8.5
PSM3-9.0
Edge-8/10
yahoo games-4/5
PSM-6.5
Nextgenireland-9.6

9.6 AAA
6.5 A
4/5 AA
8/10 AA
PSM AAA
8.5 AA

2 AAA
3 AA
1 AA

IGN review...""It's just not quite $40 worth.""
""And paying $40 for a game that lacks any single-player mode whatsoever certainly feels a little...much.""

yahoo games....""the only criticism that can be leveled at it is that there is absolutely no single-player option whatsoever so.""

Both sources mesh with the PSM article that the lack of single player caused for a lower score, and IGN that the 40 dollar price tag is a lil hard to stomach for no single player.

Did i say they EXACTLY 100% meshed? nope I said pretty much, With the reviews thus far, the whole Microsoft pay off rob smith conspiracy theory is pretty much shot down and proven wrong, Because what they said and the score they gave isn't far off from what the game has received from other sites....

P.S: Im not saying warhawk sux i will probly get it my self, I'm simply saying that the conspiracy pundits have been proven wrong.

Edit: Maclatus your funny in that you cannot read, Ign's not quite worth 40 dollars, and no single player are exactly like PSM's main problem of....no single player and 40 dollars...

[macalatus]

UPDATE: Yes I'm funny but I could read, so much so why I responded to your post. Problem is, YOU made your earlier post look like a freakin' flamebait (and it still does) only to explain it a little bit more in your second post. HINT: CAREFULLY WATCH WHAT YOU FREAKIN' PUT IN BEFORE SUBMITTING!! IT ISN'T THAT HARD!!

As for me, the PSM review in my opinion still an unfounded review, at it still somehow runs counter to what many beta testers say. I agree with you on the whole "Rob Smith conspiracy" is false, but I still hate the bastard for other totally different reasons.

[hazeblaze]

Either you're in denial or you just have REALLY remedial comprehension skills... NONE of the reviews are in agreement with the PSM review, period. And IGN hasn't reviewed the game you n00b, 1UP did... and they stated they would deduct points if it cost more than $30 a month ago... so no surprise there. What WAS surprising is how much they praised the game even though they openly admitted to wanting to bash it if it costs more than $30 to d/l. The point: Warhawk is online greatness... get over it ;-)

[hotshot1237]

but anyway, make sure you dont get the rrod while playing halo. ALL 360 fanboys will do is say, look at this score, its the best game ever. its all expected. and it took 360 TWO years to get established with big games while ps3 is at least giving SOLID games and only a year and a couple months were getting tripple a titles. so please do us all a favor and leave this site

[Siesser]

There's no need to tell someone to leave the site just because they have a differing opinion. Granted, there's no need to bring up the other games he did, as I think one would probably get more playtime and enjoyability from Warhawk than Bioshock (and better value), but that's just an opinion. He wasn't actively criticizing the game in any way. I think both sides need to better differentiate assertion from assault and not take everything personally.

But also, there's no real need to bring up Halo and Bioshock when people are merely trying to enjoy a positive review about a game. It may seem minor, but it can get annoying to have someone swoop in everytime you get good news and say "Yeah, but it's not..." and then waltz off. Throws off the good vibes.

Keep the vibe alive!
*yes, I am a dork*

[P1MPDADDY]

Had my 360 for almost a year and a half no issues. My wife just bought me a PS3 and 1080P HDTV this past weekend. Be honest guys. Is this game worth my money. I am thinking about buying the Blu-Ray w/Bluetooth headset version. Any chance there will be a demo, or should I take the plunge to get an online shooter plus headset?

[Fisher339]

as a beta tester i can tell you this game is worth every cent.

I think it will keep the masses occupied for awhile, 2-3 months at least.

32 players on smaller versions of the maps is absolute mayhem and incrediby fun.

[EZCheez]

Just kidding.

Trust me, you don't have to believe anything else I say but you have to believe that this game is worth the money. I would not lie to someone about how good a game is for any reason. For example, don't buy any games prior to this one,not that they aren't good, but because you won't play them with Warhawk on your PS3.

[Armyless]

I'm still waiting to pickup my PS3 I'm one of the Kazillion (that should be a word) PS2 owners who's still on the fence about upgrading to a next gen console but with the release of this game and Heavenly Sword (in a few weeks ?) I'm defiantly going to take the plunge....

[Panthers]

Well you wont be dissapointed. Resisntance was one of the best online experiences I have had. I dont really like FPS, but the fact that there is NO lag at all in that game (except for the exceptional player with netzero connection) made it all worth while. 40 player matches with no lag is incredible, and it is free.

EDIT: I bought the PS3 for Socom, and I have long since forgotten about that game with the new ones coming out. And when Confrontation is released, it will be amazing.

but atleast more people will be getting headsets

[SacredENA]

Hey Limp, this comment especially grabs my attention:

"LMAO at PS3 fanboys.....
You guys hung on Sony's every word. You bought into the 4D Blu-Ray 1080P HDMI hype. I hope Lair, Heavenly Sword, and Warhawk are all good games. I dont want any of you guys to hurt yourselves. But just in case these games get average or poor reviews, or dont live up to the hype, just remember there is always the 360. It costs less, has superior online, better multiplatform games, and has the best library of games for all the next-gen consoles."

What happened dude, the little Asian lady who does your eyebrows knock you around?

[BulletToothtony]

like you, they hate the ps3 and it's ok.. i don't care what the reviews say.. i played the beta for warhawk, for the fun i had, i give it a 9.5, heavenly sword's demo even thou short, it gives me a great experience, i really love it,

drakes fortune it's a well needed adventure game, i'm not sure about lair yet, and that it's me being honest.. bottom line there's more games in the horizon there's not only 3, i'm looking forward to singstar when i have parties at my place,

so i see the big view about the ps3, i had thought about buying the xbox but until they don't fix the issues i'm not buying one, but even then i could buy the games i want to play on my pc, so i dunno..

and there's also the great games like mgs4 and killzone that show a great promise of what the ps3 can do.. it's ok if you don't like it, but don't get blinded by fanboyism..

[Hades1337]

your reasons for getting a 360:

1.) its costs less (add HD-DVD, wireless adaptor, Xbox live membership... hey its already costs more!)
2.) superior online (games like Warhawk, Metal Gear Online, and UT3 say different)
3.) better multiplatform games (Oblivion? GRAW 2? I just read an article today stating that PES 08 runs better on the PS3!)
4.) best gaming library (well thats true... considering that its been out a year longer than the other two consoles. And after Halo 3, which wont be as good as Halo 2 I bet, the 360 doesnt really have much to shout about)

[Lanontscuz]

yup thats what u will see!!!!! see u all up in the skies!!!

[ReconHope]

cant wait to play.

[greed]

yeah pimpdaddy all the sh!t you wrote on other forums it was definitely fanboyish i mean i consider my self a fanboy but i wouldn't openly write hateful sh!t about someone else's console but some of the stuff you wrote makes me want to say; i hope when you set your p/s up with you tv and get your game setup ready to play some unknown force phenomenon blows it up and you are never able to enjoy this wonderful game or any other but that would be wrong of me and i don't want to be categorized with the likes of you so i will say enjoy your "PlayStation" Experience".

I am starting to get excited about this game again. I am ok with 8.5... I may pickup a PS3 after all. I will wait until the game is out and people are playing it... I don't currently own a PS3 and I am waiting for a system seller to do so... I hope this is the system seller.

[Maddens Raiders]

-- "I am starting to get excited about this game again. I am ok with 8.5... I may pickup a PS3 after all." --

Uhmm *cough, cough* Bullshyt.

Yeah right bladestar. Please don't buy a PS3 you will unravel the entire Space - Time Continuum throwing us all into a super mega black hole and an inevitable date with the singularity.

You can only purchase a PS3 when the Mart-in does so that the natural forces of Nature stay in balance and we can all live in the present reality. Do you understand? =P

[unsunghero28]

So, let me get this straight...

When a game's highest review is 8.5 and the console it runs on costs $600, you're willing to get the console...

And when a game's lowest review is 8.5 and the console it runs on costs $250, you're not willing to get the console...

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

-edit-
Oh, thought 38.3 was at me. lol. That was a confusing 30 seconds.

[BIadestarX]

You probably right... Aside from the lack of games compared to the xbox 360 and having to pay More for less in term of games and a huge downgrade as far as online is concern.... the other thing that stops me from buying a PS3 is people like you.... Sony fanboys are a bunch of little kids that are still learning how to wipe their own @$$ which explains why Sony waiting so long to even start building their online service... and why the software attach rate is so low.. since you still live with mommy and can't aford your own games.
Yeah... I think I will hold on that PS3 purchase.... at least until single player games are out (Metal Gear and Final Fantasy)... You just remind me the little kids I would have to deal with if I go online with this game. Thanks for helping me see that.

[tethered]

"You just remind me the little kids I would have to deal with if I go online with this game. Thanks for helping me see that."

Like you don't have that problem already with XBL? Haha, give me a break! I know better.

For the most part, with the PS3, my experiences with the PS3 have been very few ni--a this and ni--a that kinda talk (thank god)

I can think of only once that I have heard that kinda talk. (tonight actually, during R:FOM)

[resistance100]

@ bladestar

Ps3's price point is a blessing in disguess, im yet to encounter a high pitched little kid who annoys you on it (which is the problem i have now and then on Gear's Of War).

[P1MPDADDY]

BL0W ME. I still think the 360 gives you the most bang for the buck. Best games, best online, best controller. I pluck my own eye-brows thank you. I take pride in my appearance. Get over it. My wife who is not asian, bought me a Samsung 40" LCD 1080P HDTV for our 1 year anniversary. She fell in love with the Blu-Ray/DVD comparison demo at Circuit City. She wanted a stand alone Blu-Ray player so we got a PS3. I figured she might as well get her moneys worth if she was going to get a Blu-Ray player. We maintain seperate bank accounts and income. Therefore it was her money that bought the hardware. I'm not dumb, I got a new videogame console out of it, she got something to justify her purchase of a new HDTV while we wait for DirecTv to install our HD Satellite service. If your read my past posts you would also take note that I stated I would buy a PS3 once it hit the price of $400.00 or less. Well she got $300.00 off the purchase for a DirecTV 1 year-contract, we didnt buy a DLP 65" HDTV, so we saved 100 dollars on the TV, sacrificing size for quality. Didnt have to buy a stand which was $400.00 So she actually was under her budget by $800.00 so she decided to get the 60GB PS3. 5 Blu-Ray movies included. She still came almost $300.00 (Had to buy an HDMI cable) under her budget, got the best quality 40" LCD HDTV on the market, a new HD videogame console, Blu-Ray player, upgraded to Satellite TV for less than she is paying for Cable, and she didnt have to wait for delivery.

Heres the best part. Now my 3 sons can bring over thier PS2 games when they come stay with me. No more having to tell my boys that Daddy is waiting for the PS3's price to drop. I didnt overspend on any Sony product. I let my wife do that. I did help her choose the Samsung over the Sony HDTV though.

Bottom line is now I have the complete HD videogame experience in my own home. When the Elite drops in price to $399.00 and HD-DVD players become a little cheaper I will purchase both. I already sold my 360 Premium to my former roommate for full value with the rights to play it whenever I want till he finishes paying it off. So Halo 3, Madden 2008, and Bioshock are still accessible to me.

So I think I made out good. Hate on me all you want. I never wanted Sony to fail, I just didnt want to pay for their Blu-Ray agenda. I dont think the PS3 will outperform the 360 in graphical capabilities. So no I didnt buy into the hype. To verify this I have tried a few demos now and to me its the same as a 360 as far as graphics, downloading from the Playstation Store is slower than SH!T, and the controller doesnt do it for me, no force feedback, and I just think the 360 controller is better. But I will say this, the PS3 looks downright SEXY matched up with my brand new shiny black Samsung TV. Now I get to "Wait Beyond" with the rest of the Sony Sausage Smugglers for the "AAA" titles to come out :p

wtf

[CaliGamer]

I guess that means you have a baby's momma. A broken home for a broken man, sad you have kids yet find time to come on here and spew nonsense. And what do you mean your wife spent money on your PS3 that you allegedly own, if she is your wife isn't that your money too?
Remember bro, steroids warp the mind and the body, ask Hulk Hogan. Hahahahaha. Jackass.

Oh man, I can't even count the ways this post is funny. When you learn what black levels are, you're going to regret not buying the DLP. When you poke your eyes out with the tweezers while "grooming",you going to wish you had 65 inches instead of 40. When you're addicted to Warhawk and you beg your wife to play and she says no (I bet that happens alot, but in a different context) because she wants to watch a Bluray, you're going to regret not having bought your own PS3. When your boys go back to school and tell all there friends that their dad is finally kind of cool because he finally got a PS3, you'll have to decide whether you lie to them and say that it's yours, or admit that it belongs to your wife. When your wife leaves you because you seem to have some anger issues, she's going to take the PS3 with her and use this forum as evidence that you said it was hers (and also that you admit you pluck your eyebrows!) By the way, how old are you? Who still sells toys with "full rights to play"?

[QuackPot]

You're wife's an astute, unbiased and informed purchaser

* $300 dollars under budget
* best HD TV
* Best HD Player + gaming machine for the bucks.

Damn, she knows her sh1t. You lucky b'stard.

But once you start playing Warhawk then maybe you'll open your mind to the possibilities and potential that your wife clearly saw in the Ps3.

Wait beyond.

[Ugly American]

Dude, you were clear enough and honest enough in your post, that you don't need to explain yourself to the little fanboys. I own two PS3's that I bought for full retail, and I feel like a retard. So good on you for not paying full price for it. I am picking up Warhawk tomorrow and hope that it is halfway decent so I can justify my purchase.

And assuming the SMART and INTELLGIBLE people on this site are right, Warhawk should be a blast, and Bioshock IS a blast... THIS IS GOING TO BE THE EASIEST 28 days waiting for Halo 3.

Still don't know why a hypocritical tooool like him would want to play on something as sophisticated & classy as the PlayStation 3 but stranger things have happened. Amazing really considering how much pure horseshyt has come out of his smelly piehole recently about the PlayStation 3.

[P1MPDADDY]

Since I am out of bubbles thanks to all the PS3 FANB!TCHES who keep giving me negative feedback, and disagreeing with me no matter what I say. I am going out with a BANG!!!!!

I dont hide behind other peoples pictures or pledge allegiance to a Corporation. I asked an honest opinion about a game. That was it. Keep hating on me for my good looks. Like I said the PS3 isnt worth the price of admission. But if somebody wants to buy it for me, who am I to say no??? If this was a year from now I would own a PS3 anyways, because I would have stuck to my values of not spending over $400.00 for a videogame console. I can hate on the PS3 all I want, this is the USA. Freedom of speech means I have the right to voice my opinion.

PS3 fanboys are hypocritical. I am not a fanboy of any console maker. I am a fanboy of videogames. Give me the best games and I dont care what console they are on. Hate on me because I call it like it is. The PS3 was overhyped by Ken Kutaragi. The fact that somebody who posted above has his picture as an avatar speaks volumes to what is wrong with videogames today.

I will purchase a Wii next year too so I can play MarioKart. I love that game, and even though I think the Wii is a recycled, overclocked Gamecube with a Magic Wand gimmicky controller, I will buy it so I can play the games I want.

I have a PS3 even though I think its graphics will be on par with the 360, multiplatform games will look and play better on the 360, and PSN will always be playing catchup with Xbox Live. I didnt have to buy it, so why not get games for it??? Why not get Blu-Ray movies for my wife while I decide which HD-DVD player to get. Because bottom line is that it will take years, if ever for a single high definition movie format to be established. I will own both formats because I dont want to wait, and I want movies that are exclusive to both formats.

I bought a 360, and didnt have to wait a year to enjoy HD videogames. I didnt have to upgrade my HDTV. I wasnt forced to pay for Blu-Ray, and I got the best online videogame experience. Not to mention I didnt lose force feedback, and got an improved controller. I will be the first to agree that Microsoft rushed thier launch, but they needed to establish an early user install base advantage. Yes they have an admitted hardware design flaw. But at least they admitted to it. Unlike Sony did with the PS1 or PS2, and they have taken the proper steps to resolve the issue. Because they were first to launch they have the best 3rd Party developer support, they stole potential sales from the PS3, and the 360's future is guaranteed regardless of the PS3's or Wii's sales.

Just like last generation where I owned all 4 consoles, I will eventually do the same with this generation. Thats what being a gamer is about. Why the F*CK any of you swear allegiance to Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo is beyond me. None of those 3 companies gives a RATS A$$ about you or I. They just want our hard earned money.

So take your conspiracy theories, false hype, over inflated MSRP, game reviews from the far reaches of the world, brand loyalty and shove them up your A$$. I will be playing any and every game I want to this generation regardless of which console it is available on because I choose not to be blinded by the out of control FANBOYISM on this website. If you dont like my past comments, ignore me, I'm at 16 ignores and counting. I just love to piss off Sony PS3 fanboys, because they are by far the worst of the 3 types of fanboys. Its so easy to piss off a PS3 fanboy too. All you have to do is state a fact, and PS3 fanboys get all twiested. They cant handle the truth.

PS3 fanboys actually think Sony cares about them, that they will see games that prove the PS3 is twice as powerful as the 360, bought into the 4D 1080P 120fps Dual-HDMI hype, and think force feedback isnt needed because Sony told them so. PS3 fanboys cant be happy that any console besides their "PRECIOUS" PS3 can have successful sales and have good games. I know it has to kill you guys that the 360 gets the better versions of multiplatform games, and that the PS3 gets the inferior versions, with game delays. PS3 fanboys thought Blu-Ray would have destroyed HD-DVD by now, and actually believe Blu-Ray is needed to play HD videogames. PS3 fanboys think a free online gaming service is better than paying for a superior online gaming service and that after over-spending $600.00 on a videogame console that $4.17 a month is too much money, WTF??? Bottom line is PS3 fanboys are insecure about thier purchase, they feel threatened by the "REAL" competition this generation, cant stand that they are losing exclusive games to the 360.

Get over it PS3 fanboys. The 360 and Wii are here to stay, and may just beat Sony in sales this generation. I dont care who wins this so called console wars or HD movie format wars. I'm smart enough to see the value of COMPETITION!!!!!

-nobody read it

[vaan]

All the hater's and 1up can suck my balls. ALl the bs about 'lack of single player..' STFU
No one said DIDDLEY about lack of single player on game reviews of BF2 or BF2142 etc.
Suck it up moaners.

[Genki]

Movement with the motion sensing, evasive action with the left stick, and aiming with the right stick.

It's simple and intuitive, but you may need to tweak the sensitivity of the motion sensor.

Once that's at a comfortable level, you're ready to roll. I can't comment on the vehicles, because I was so wrapped up in the Warhawks that I didn't feel like using anything else. I do wish there were more aircraft than 2 though(might as well be one, they're essentially sprite swaps).

[PimpHandHappy]

I also have access to 360games through my friends! You did the right thing in selling it and when they fix the problem with it you can still go back and buy it again! and this time u wont have to worry about it melting down on you! The 360 still has i hope 2-3 years left of making good games and right now and in the furture it will be a great bang for the buck item! Like when they can get the fixed up 360 for under 350bucks i will own it! I have a few games i didnt have enough time with and when i do get my 360 i will be able to buy these games for 20bucks! Thats bang for the buck!

Bladestar did u buy the 360 on launch? Dont 4get to try Fall of Man online! Tell us what u think.....That goes to pimpdaddy also

Warhawk's a third-person shooter, not first-person. Same difference, I know.

between FPS and third-person shooters is that with third-person view you can look around corners, which changes things only a little.

Wow! And they said they will lower the score if price was above $20! So their initial score was 9.5!? Awesome. So Edge was right and the only sucker here was PSM! Who wouldn't have thought PSM would write the most biased review of them all?

[FirstknighT]

"That's because the addictive mix of on-foot, vehicle, and airborne combat makes for so much variety..."

"You can specialize in airborne offense, or man a turret and defend your base. You can roll a tank into enemy territory, or sneak along a ridgeline with a sniper rifle and a good eye. Even better: You can grab a sniper rifle, hop into an aircraft, and fly yourself up to an ideal sniper spot"

Isn't that what Battlefield does???

[icechai]

Battlefield is a lot slower. They really make the Warhawks very versatile in the way they move (Hover/Regular, the weapons you can pick up, overall tight controls, six axis if you're into that, etc.) Also it seems like there's more vehicles around than in Battlefield, so really you can get into one anytime you like (each spawn/zone will load vehicles, you can get in enemy vehicles as well if they're not in it already).

[djtek184]

lets get ready to rock!

[JokesOnYou]

thats a solid score and its good to see that sonykids now think 1up reviews are creditable, Wow! congratulations this review puts Warhawk almost up there with Crackdown which 1up gave a 9/10, which isnt too far off its avg ranking of 84%, I know sonykids trashed that game, but it was actually pretty solid game, I still play it every now and then for some quick fun action here and there= so I'm sure you guys will have fun with this game, Good job Warhawk.=

JOY

[chrno]

but warhawk > crackdown, which is as much as a fact that you are a xbot.

[fopums]

its a nice score yes, but I wait for the IGN and gamespot scores myself... not really the case with Warhawk though cuase I got to play the beta and knew it was gonna be good :D

me and my roommate are playing right now, his psn is random_hero777 or somthing like that. Im gonna get the retail copy friday.

Its positive Sony News, you really think he would show his face here

[mightydog01]

He's probably downloading warhawk? ahahah......

[greed]

man pimpdaddy...mackdaddy what ever your name is; what the f^ck are you writing a monolge or something gaw j/k because i have a lot to say figuretivly speaking but to my point all i am saying is for a person to have wrote all the fecal matter that you wrote and then post on ps3 news for advice for a ps3 game is beyond me; to me i don't know about any one else but that sounds like a sell out i mean i would have said that what you just wrote was very humanly of you and that you put up a legitimate argument and then i would think about some of the sh!t you wrote before and say.....ummmm never mind

i mean seriously if my girlfriend bought me a 360 i would have here return it; not ask a m/s fanboy about a game for it because there is nothing on that system that interests me in the least; not even to consider turning it on not trying to sound like a fanboy or should i say fantard but the only games that interest me are games for p/s just because that is the system that i basically grew up with not saying that all the games on xbox suck! don't get me wrong GEOW was a very good game just not good enough for me to consider dishing out more cash for another system.

and to downplay a system that has been on top for so long meaning the p/s brand is idiotic; i mean you don't get to the top by making stupid moves and no matter what ip m/s steals from sony when the big hitters come out like and only listing the main one's m/g,f/f,g/t, not including k/z because of how great i know it will be it is still not out yet so the future can only tell about that one but i predict great things but when those system sellers come out and this is just my prediction so don't quote me but i believe that the whole console war will be no more because the p/s will rise to the position that it is very familiar with.

so talk noise all you want tell your other xbots to do the same and keep them coming now cause when it back fires i want to be there to tell you i told you so and rub it in all of yall's face's because there is nothing better.....................(an d no i am not a fantard just to make this clear i am just a fan of my system and yes there is a difference).

[THC CELL]

this game is a 1 up for me

no reviews are been taken in the community are giving this a average score of 9.0 to 9.5

[felidae]

Warhawk got better scores than some sites gave Bioshock ... sounds like a must buy because Bioshock is one of the best games ever created in the history of mankind.

I know where you're coming from, buddy. My Playstation 3 system overheated and broke three months ago, and I sent it to Sony for repairs. It took nearly TWO MONTHS for repairs because of a backlog...and now, the Playstation 3 has overheated and broken AGAIN!!!

Seems like Nintendo is the only one who makes stuff that doesn't overheat.

[Rims]

This game will own.

[SiLeNt KNighT]

its already on the psn. im at work so i cant play it though. ill probably end up picking up the game/blutooth bundle at lunch today but i have to wait to play it until i get off at 6 tonight. *cough* *cough* im starting to feel a little sick, i may need to leave early

[sjappie]

Almost the same as Battlefield Modern Combat.

[boodybandit]

I haven't had this much fun online since Battlefield and I actually think this game is more fun to play. Don't listen to any review. I think most people give way too much weight into opinions of stuffed shirts at gaming mags (rags) and online sites. This game is incredible is insane fun, no lag, excellent graphics and voice communications (hold down L stick), Warhawks are incredible, the action is non stop fast & furious FUN!

[Jinxstar]

You know after reading through this and seeing people write "No single player" everywhere. I begin to wonder. Is it really that important... 9 million people play World of Warcraft which is online only. It has single player stuff but that gets REALLLLLY old quick. The best part is communicating and meeting new people... then killing them. It really is a whole lot of fun. Honestly I have been waiting for a game that was purely concentrated on online only for a while. I love MMORPG's and Gears and even Motorstorm online I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. The most fun you can have is in a FPS imo. Plus you get tanks and planes and all kinds of huge levels... The fact that they concentrated on multiplayer exclusively is great.

Do people really want another FPS or TPS single player game? There are so many good ones out there already... I think this is spectacular. It forces you to be social, strategize, train and hone skill, practice and enjoy sweet victory not over computer AI, but over Players. PVP is the most important element of games in our times. Popularity is soaring. By them concentrating on it and not trying to half ass something after the single player is done is very very good.

I am of the opinion that people play games for reasons. I for example play GTA to unlock all the areas, store up waepons, Then take cars off jumps for hours, or see how long I can avoid cops. I play Marvel vs Capcom 3 to kill my friends. Having to play through all the stupiid thing to get all the cars/weapons/character/whateve r... Kinda sucks imo. If they opened up everything off the bat to me I would probably never do the story/career mode... What I am trying to say is that by focusing on whats important 'Warhawk' will succed at what they hoped to accomplish. Not by tedious crap but through good quality gaming experience.

For some reason I gotta get my copy at the store tomorrow (Damn gamestop...) I kinda fgeel like DLing it today but honestly it is worth another day of waiting.

[PimpHandHappy]

I guess ur very unlucky. I hear the fail rate is under 1%....

maybe i can get some proof and maybe you can let us all know where you kept ur PS3. I would like to know what u did wrong so me and others wont make the same mistake. If you put that think into a entertainment center i can see that happening i guess. No air flow maybe? My PS3 is out in the open and has all the air flow it could ever need!

anyway

lets see the proof

[Ugly American]

What kind of proof would they have? A picture of the tracking number off of the box the PS3 that was MAILED to Sony? I have a PS3, and it has had more software screwups than anything else. I lost all of my progress on Resistance because the save file got corrupted. Talk about wanting to throw your console out of a window.

Things break. It happens. One person has a console break, so they MUST be lying. Ugh. fanboys.

I hope Warhawk is really, really good. Really...

[PimpHandHappy]

yea the game shipped today and isnt in stores yet. I think Sony is running a little test to see how many ppl download it! Maybe give them a feel for who is out there playing games like this and how many ppl will download a full game like this. With Socom around the corner i can see this as being a nice starting piont to the furture of online only games for the PS3.

[IPlayGames]

But i think a lot of people are waiting for that bluetooth. A lot times when u play online most people dont have mics so this would be a easy way for people to get a good mic and a game.

[IPlayGames]

They dont have a copy and i would DL it but my bluetooth sucks and i already traded in two games that got me $40 store credit so i only gotta pay $20 for the game that cheaper than the DL but.

HURRY UP GIVE ME MY COPY OF WARHAWK!!!

[Bazookajoe_83]

I still dont get what the 360 trolls are doing here? This is ps3 section, would you like a map and a compass? I also find it funny that it should get a reduced score because it´s not multiplayer? Should a none multiplayer game get a reduced score? It seems that reviewers who lower score´s for that are oldschool player who cant handle do be beaten by 12 year olds.

And people who say it´s not worth buying a 600 dollar console for this game should look this deal up http://www.ps3fanboy.com/20...

[LOFT316]

gotta wait till thursday to download warhawk was'nt so sure a while ago about this game but reading people's reviews over the past few weeks made my mind up looking forward to it

[FullyLoaded420]

hi folks, im kinda new to this forum. my bro got a 360 and I got myself a PS3. So my question is.....
Is this the game that "blows the 360 out the water?" if not, then can u point out to me what games i can get so i can shut my brother up?? he has so many cool games on the 360 and my ps3 and i are feeling very lonely. My bro and I both share the same friends and theyre always in the room playing the 360 while they leave me playing Motorstorm by myself!! This sucks!! Anyways, so my question is...where are the "blow the 360 out the water games?" or the 4D graphics?? Cmon SONY Loyalists!! SAVE ME!! help me get my friends back!!

[icechai]

umm, tell me you're being sarcastic... If you are always going to be comparing your PS3 with all of the "cool games" on the 360, you should be getting a 360. With the games coming out in the next few weeks including this one, PS3 owners in general are quite thrilled it seems like. Also its a pretty known fact that the Playstation brand offers more variety and options than Xbox (although Xbox360 has been expanding its repertoire quite a bit thanks to a larger user base and $$$). But from the tone of your post, it seems like the reason your friends are leaving you is not because you are lonely with your PS3.

So umm, nice attempt at starting a flame war??
