K Spangly, glittery techno-porn that may be, but outside the city streets example I just related it's a fairly useless feature. For ground targets, especially those in narrow city streets, it'll have you arcing up and over before coming straight down towards the exposed enemy. Pilotwings-style gates hang in the sky for you to fly through. The Enhanced Reality System guides you to targets, and at a touch it can generate a suggested path to bring you into the best firing position. HAWX departs from other arcade flying games in its neon light parade, the glowing visual aids decorating your heads-up display. Otherwise you'll be flying with your killjoy systems on, with a kind of responsiveness that becomes more amiable the more you play. In this mode, the plane becomes a twitchy dart capable of the tighter turns needed to get a lock onto the faster, more agile targets you'll encounter. With the off switch flicked, the HUD is reduced, the safety systems are put out of commission (meaning you can stall if you slow down too much), and the camera pulls way back - too far back -to give you a better look at what's going on around you. Put a few missions behind you though, and you unlock the on-board computer's off button. The first 10 minutes are akin to playing a game from across the room by poking at it with a broom handle.
The controls will grate at first, as, unknown to you, they're deliberately made to feel clunky and semi-responsive. What HAWX offers is a simple, incredibly slick experience, a series of 19 varied and creative missions backed up by a surprisingly robust and involving Tom Clancy-esque plot.
The ridiculous while remaining eminently enjoyable and constantly fun. You just don't get flying games like this on PC, ones that skirt so closely to And that, if you're being chased by an enemy jet, you can slam on the breaks to do a 180 backflip so you're flying in reverse, facing and locking on to the surprised enemy. Pinpointing the moment in HAWX where the last vestiges of haughty simulation fall away to reveal the chuckling figure of an arcade game is easy: it's when your flight instructor tells you that by turning off your on-board computer, you can do skids in the sky.
