According to Gameinformer,

Anyone who played the PSone version of Warhawk will no doubt have some fond memories of a really solid flight game, and Incognito made sure that although they were adding a lot more to the formula, the core of the title?s meaning was still intact. Players will now be able to hop out of the Warhawk and run on foot, drive tanks and jeeps and even man a turret. Taking a page from other online shooters, Warhawk will have various gameplay types, like deathmatch and zone capture with up to 32 players?all supporting voice chat. With 25 maps, a ton of weapons and five different planets to play across, Sony is hoping that no one will miss the absence of a single-player mode.

The typical game of Warhawk that we experienced played out one of two ways. The first is air-to-air only Warhawk combat that lets you fly around above one of the five worlds and collect different weapons like missiles, bigger missiles and even some disruptors by flying trough an icon to unleash on your opponents. Some of the weapons like the electronic disruptor were trickier than others to use but the kills were oh so sweet. The second type puts the choice of fighting style in the hands of the players. Teams will have a starting base and can find vehicles and weapons to charge into battle with. On foot, players have a bevy of weapons including machine guns, knives and the RPG. Teammates can also work together in some of the vehicles such as the jeep, one driving and the other manning the machine gun.

The PlayStation 3?s Sixaxis controller works extremely well. When in a Warhawk, there are two modes. The first is a hover mode that has limited maneuverability but allows for takeoffs and landings while also turning your Warhawk into a deadly mobile air turret that devastates troops below. Hit the triangle button and you move into flight mode, and the motion-sensing takes over. The motion steering is very intuitive and natural. Of course, you can turn this off if you would rather play with a more classic style control set. After you land your Warhawk and you hop out and start fighting the enemy on foot, the shooting felt tight and easy but knife fights were a little difficult. Driving also worked well and mowing down troops becomes a hilarious cinch.
