STARHAWK could prove to be a bit of a game-changer.

You think you know the drill with third-person shooter adventures like this, but then here you discover you can instantly change the battlefield in the heat of combat.

Yes, you can go for full-on frenzied combat on foot, in vehicles, or in the air, but the key is when you harness the power of a new type of shooter gameplay with the ‘Build & Battle’ system, where you can gain a tactical advantage by calling upon an arsenal of weapons, vehicles and fortifications.

Mix this into a 32-player online scenario and your whole game world can change in the blink of an eye.

And it’s arguably the sharpest shooting multiplayer experience the PS3 has seen.
