Starhawk

STARHAWK

The title may sound like a cheesy '80s space-action flick. It's actually close, only if a movie looked like this back then, the budget to make it possible would've been unattainable.

Related to the game Warhawk, in this space western 3rd person action game, valuable Rift Energy is being mined on planets across the galaxy. With a flood of prospectors staking claims, greed is rampant. But to add to this new wild west frontier, exposure to the Rift Energy leads to people becoming mutants (known as Outcasts). They wreak havoc amoung the miners. Emmett and a comrade have to clean up these areas by taking care of the Outcasts with firepower.

Emmett was exposed to Rift Energy, but is prevented from turning into an Outcast by a special spine implant. With these inter-planetary bounty hunters sorting out these villains, they become a bigger problem when the lead villain, The Outlaw starts to organize them.
In this PlayStation exclusive, the player has to protect these various areas with a variety of weaponry and vehicles (like a sidewinder hover-bike and flying mechs). A strategy element is also incorporated as you get to build and organize mining sites and rigs.

On-line linking plays a big role in expanding the gameplay, and can accommodate up to 32 players.
Nice detail and an expansive gaming terrain.
