Overview
================
The key to this game is liking strategy and vehicular combat. This is not COD (which I like, so I'm not bashing it). You can't play this as an infantry game (extremely boring because the maps are large and all you'll do is run around getting killed).
The build & battle system is awesome once you get the hang of it. The real key is working together because it is a team based strategy game. Once again playing it like a FPS infantry soldier will not be fun. It isn't that the game isn't good....you just aren't playing it right.
One of the really awesome things is you can also play a support role. You can build up vehicles and protection around your base while others go shoot it out (for those that aren't quick with the trigger).
Pros
==============
1) awesome real time strategy (build & battle)
2) team based game
3) very intuitive controls
Cons
==============
1) graphics could have been a little better (being picky)
2) campaign is just decent (although good tutorial)

Starhawk is a fast-paced, Sci-fi, free-roam, third-person shooter, with a very unique element in game that implements a strategic course of gameplay... You can build your base while fighting against enemy(In game) . This title is truly like no other... As a "Spiritual Successor" of Warhawk, Starhawk... Gives a great Science fiction story with gameplay that makes multiplayer shine like no other game out there.
This is the story of Emmit Graves .
The frontier is in outer space and a new fortune is to be found... A form of everlasting power was found, called Rift Energy. Used as a Currency -- Rift energy is harvested and sold by any person willing to endeavor into these waste lands and strike it rich on this source of power. The only problem is that Rift energy, when a simple person is exposed to it, it can change a human into a fiend of the rift energy... These abominations are called as the Outcasts and Emmit does not mind eradicating them from property owned by frontiersman.
Emmit Graves is a Rift salvager, that will do any job, along with Cutter and their Dropship -- They are hired to help secure property of claims, for frontiersmen. Nothing ever stood in their way.
Great game. Lightbox has done a marvelous job on this game. A very cohesive storyline and a fast-paced multiplayer experience, that can not be matched.
You will want to buy this game, just seeing how the single player runs so seamlessly with the build and battle gameplay.
The game place a very replayable element. Having that one ability to build the layout in the course of battle, in real-time(Instantly) during multiplayer... Gives you the ability to need a different strategy each time; A different enemy base EVERY game.
You have a variety of vehicles; NOTHING flys as agile as a Starhawk; The Sidewinder, a jet bike; a jeep; and a huge tank . With all that and the building ability. This game will be played for a very long time.
There is nothing wrong with this title in anyway.
