The game is horrible ... graphics , framerate etc are worst than AC6 which came out year ago. The stupid fly through the ring thing is so lame and, yeah, stupid and it really have no place in flight "sim" to used the term very loosely. And let not get start on that stupid outside view (limit off gimmick thing). What the hell is that?? You fly your plane from 3rd person view .... it's almost like playing 2D shooting game than a flight sim. I can see if they used it as a pad-lock view like the old Falcon flight sim where it help you track enemy plane but the way it is now it's more like pseudo-3D.

The flight model is worst than AC6 and considering AC6 is as arcade as they come as a flight game. There is no sim whatsoever in HAWX ... and I figure Tom Clancy game it should at least ground in some reality.

For an arcade flight game it's just OK, but I dont' feel it's better in anyway than AC6. The story line and dialogue in this demo is just as stupid as AC6.

Oh well I was really hoping for a good flight sim game on console ... I am not asking for anything like Falcon 4.0 but I totally didn't expect HAWX to be even more arcade shooter than AC6.

The flight sim genre is pretty much dead on PC side , and it was my absolute favorite type of game next to RPG and racing. I played flight sim since the day of Falcon 1.0 on Apple and Amiga and was really hoping at least for a dumb down console flight sim game.

^ preach it rev.
(agreed)

My friend loves combat flight sims, he keeps insisting this game will be awesome...

I'll try it on Thursday, when it comes to PSN. Damned timed exclusive demos -.-

If your friend like Flight Sim then he will absolutely hate this game. There is no "simulation" at all in this so call flight sim. I mean, really a missiles that on cool down timer, bomb that drop like you toss granade in Gear of Wars and the stupid Top Gun moment of hey let drop our speed till we stall then we will put the plane in after burner and just pitch up just like in the movie... so cool. (sarcasm btw).

I was hoping for open thearter warfare, where you pick and choose your squad and mission you want to take. A real dynamic battle field where you earn income to buy planes and finance your war (after all you are suppose to work for a corporation that fight war for 3rd world nation). I mean really we have open-world action game, open world RPG, open world race car game and open world FPS, is it too much of a strech for developer to make "open world" flight "sim" game on a console? It's not like it's a new concept, it's been done on PC for decade ...
