4.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Multiplayer. Single Player is Lacking Depth, May 8, 2012
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Starhawk (Video Game)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that StarHawk is a solid multiplayer game and has less of a focus on single player. Both aspects of the game are good, however the multiplayer is outstanding.

I bought this game from GameStop, not Amazon, simply due to the extra features and bonuses in the Limited Edition which is only available at GameStop. I feel ashamed because I am a very faithful Amazon shopper, but for this release Amazon did not offer what I wanted and what I would have expected.

First off the game takes up a good 2.5gigs, there's already a new update, and you need to have an online pass to play online, which is included. But keep in mind that if you buy it used you will need to purchase the online pass from SONY for $10.

Below are my pros and cons. Though every game has it's cons, I can tell that Starhawk is an instant classic just after my first few hours of game play.

+ Amazing Multiplayer! Probably the best,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Intergalactic awesomeness, May 10, 2012

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Starhawk (Video Game)
In the early days of the PS3, Santa Monica studios created a multiplayer only title called Warhawk. It was a fun game with big maps, a few beefy chunks of dlc thrown in, and a devoted multiplayer. Devoted to the point that even years later it was still one of the most played games on the PSN. This group naturally left the entry bar set incredibly high to new comers months or even years late to the party, however, now that the sequel is here, even those who didn't play the beta will be on pretty square footing with the most battle hardened warriors of Warhawk fame.

The single player campaign serves as little more than a really long and well rounded tutorial for the online game. It goes over the basics of what buildings are good for what situation, which weapons are more important, and the best areas to call in your oribital gear from. You see, in the world of Starhawk, your team has an oribital station that (granted you have enough of the easily earned rift energy) will drop... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A well-built, exciting, and fresh game with the greatest multiplayer I've ever played, May 11, 2012
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Starhawk (Video Game)
Starhawk is unlike anything I've ever seen or played before. I've played my fair-share of shooters, but none of them have ever captured the essence of what makes online gaming so great. Then Starhawk was announced, and I was lucky enough to get accepted into the Beta. The gameplay was immediately reminiscent of Warhawk, which this game is now the successor of. Players have a variety of vehicles and weapons to use in order to win the match. It was all fairly simple at first glance, but there was so much depth that I just kept coming back. By the time the Beta ended, excitement for launch was at a fever pitch. Now it's finally here, and I am extremely satisfied with the final product.

Starhawk is essentially broken up into dogfighting in futuristic jets called Hawks, and ground combat, complete with Jeeps, Tanks, and Bikes. Both soldiers on the ground and pilots in the air have multiple weapons at their disposal, but the list isn't overly extensive. This is for balancing... Read more
