Guys. I got to fly a plane IN REAL LIFE! No, I’m not smoking and listening to Pink Floyd records!
Ubisoft held aTom Clancy’sH.A.W.X 2event at a airport in Livermore California where we got to check out the game. We also spoke with the game’s narrative director, Edward Douglas, about what’s new in the sequel, his real-world flight experiences, and how Renelly “Psyche” Morel of theFrag Dollskicked my ass.
You see, members of the press were also treated to 30 minutes of real flight experience in a Ci Marchetti Italian fighter plane, equipped with trick guns and smoke to simulate an actual dog fight experience. Having experienced the real deal, I can definitely appreciate the work they’ve put into the game.
Tom Clancy’sH.A.W.X 2will be out September 7 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.H.A.W.X 2will also be out for the Wii later in the year and provides a completely different experience. Look for a preview of the Wii version ofH.A.W.X 2sometime next week, and a totally biased review from another member on staff who is totally jealous they missed the event. Thanks again to Ubisoft and to the instructors atAir Combat USAfor this awesome opportunity. Thanks also to Kenny Loggins for “Playing With The Boys,” the best song you can possibly listen to before flying a real plane.
