Warhawk: On Warhawk
So I played Warhawk for about an hour yesterday with the devs during the weekly Warhawk Wednesday's and I find myself really enjoying the game.
It's really a solid, fun title. Don't get me wrong, it's not some robust shooter that will change the way you play games, but it's got a quality, something that makes it hard for me to put down, until they turn off the servers.
The funny thing is that the thing I find least enjoyable about the game right now is the Warhawk itself. That's not because of any design flaw or play mechanic problems, I just suck at flying the damn things so I find myself sticking to the ground. Sometimes I run around on foot, but usually I grab a tank or a jeep or head off looking for a AA gun of some sort.
I envy the guys who know their way around the Warhawk, I see them up there zipping around in the sky, doing barrel rolls, jetting along a bridge churning up the ground with machine guns or loosing missiles at tanks. It looks like great fun, but I can't do it. So I do the next best thing: I hop into a ground missile launcher and blow them up as soon as they touch off. And then I laugh and laugh and laugh... until someone comes up behind me and kills me.
I suspect when this game finally hits it's going to be the thing that keeps me on the PS3, but I only suspect that. The thing is, playing a new game for an hour a week, it's hard to tell if I'm suffering from lust or love. I haven't really played in long enough stretches to know if I'm going to grow bored of the game after a few weeks or if it will be like Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six and have me coming back to it again and again.
Has anyone else been playing the press demo? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
