Ubisoft has released Tom Clancy’s HAWX just last week for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The flight simulation game takes players above cities and towns and beyond the limits of human endurance. The HAWX demo was released a few weeks ago.
“Tom Clancy’s HAWX marks a new era for the flight combat genre and a new playground in the Tom Clancy universe,” remarked Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “Ubisoft is bringing advanced warfare to the unfriendly skies and a revolutionary new experience to gamers.”
Tom Clancy’s HAWX is set in 2012, an era in which war takes over. Nations opt for private military firms and players must strive to be an elite fighter pilot. Extreme dogfights combined with state-of-the-art technology makes for a thrilling game. The game has revolutionary features like the Enhanced Reality System or ERS which gives players information on radar, damage control systems, incoming missiles and weapon trajectory control. It also allows players to communicate with the members of their squadron giving orders and issuing commands.
Tom Clancy’s HAWX gives gamers the choice of flight assistance to enable them to focus more on delivering their payload. When shaking off the enemy, turn the assistance mode off to take complete control of your machine. The game allows for 4-player jump-in/jump-out co-op and the multiplayer allows 8 players to have an aerial battle in Team Deathmatch.
Tom Clancy’s HAWX brings realism to the genre with over 50 aircraft modeled after famous planes. Real world cities are featured in the game which has used sophisticated satellite mapping technology. Tom Clancy’s HAWX is available for a price of 59.99 USD (approx. Rs. 3,100).
