Overview:
Starting life as an early title for the original Playstation, the first game focused on aerial combat using a 360 degree movement VTOL. The game took place over six levels of enemy combat action but little became of this title until two generations later when Sony revisited the property with an online focused reboot. Over five maps and with several vehicle and turret options players would be set against one another in one of the PS3's earliest online titles. The game launched with a budget price on PSN but an inflated full price on disc despite offering little incentive extra to choose that path, coupled with launch issues the game never peaked as it should but none the less led a beloved life for several years leading Sony to work on a successor with a single player component. Starhawk aimed to expand the concept further with its new setting but despite solid reviews it failed to gain traction with players who weren't keen on the single player aspect and as such the multiplayer also failed to take hold leading the middle Warhawk game to be the series overall peak.
