3.96GBH.A.W.X.2. actually makes a pretty strong initial impression. While the visuals are still a little iffy - the planes look pretty good, and so do the environments, but the in-engine cutscenes have some pretty awful-looking human characters and major framerate issues - the experience of turning on your engines and taxiing to a runway to begin takeoff procedures is immersive and engaging, especially using Namco's Flight Stick peripheral from Ace Combat 6, which is fully supported here as it was in the last game. I'll give H.A.W.X.2 this: it generally guides you through some daunting new mechanics quite well, and gives a number of options depending on how comfortable you become with the nuances of things like carrier landings.
Controls are a different story. Using the standard controller, H.A.W.X. 2 can be a difficult game to get a handle on. While it's not a simulator by any means, the controls are still complicated. They are not intuitively mapped onto face buttons and bumpers and triggers. You can make it work, sure, but it often feels like you're fighting control shortcomings as much as any MiG. However, with the aforementioned flight sticks, it's almost like a different game.
I feel conflicted here as a reviewer. I'm not the type to demand the use of racing wheels for games like Forza 3 or the Gran Turismo series, for example; I think it's important that a game work and be enjoyable with the most common standard control method available. But you really will get more out of H.A.W.X. 2 with a supported flight stick and throttle than you will with a controller, both in immersion and overall control of your aircraft.
Of course, you still get the same design problems whether you're using a flight stick or standard controller. While Ubisoft has stressed the inclusion of co-op as a major feature in H.A.W.X. 2, it's a pain in the exhaust port to play. You need to create an unranked lobby from the multiplayer menu and select the co-op mode from the menu, as well as a mission, to fly alongside your friends against the forces of... er, whatever political movement the Tom Clancy franchise has specified as evil this week, I guess. It's 2010, and while this isn't different than every other Tom Clancy title that's preceded H.A.W.X. 2 this generation, it would have been nice to see a more elegant and user-friendly implementation of the co-op experience here.
