A forced introduction to the genre

Now that Ubisoft has the right to throw the name Tom Clancy on anything they please, why not throw together a bunch of letters that of course includes an X.   Now to be fair HAWX tries to bring itself into the Tom Clancy universe, but in a very uninteresting way.   There are few and very passive reference to terms that you’re use to hearing in other games that Ubisoft has used the Tom Clancy name for in the past.   HAWX attempts some new mechanics in the flight sim shooter genre with its “assistance off” mode, that allows the user to have slightly more freedom with their fighters maneuverability.   HAWX rarely throws anything new at you once you get going, and is a relatively short and easy campaign that gives little reason to ever revisit.
