While Starhawk's gameplay is very similar to Warhawk, LightBox Interactive has added some new features to separate Starhawk from its predecessor. First and foremost, Starhawk actually includes a full-fledged single-player story mode for players to experience. The story follows Emmett Graves, a rift energy miner on the distant colony of Frontier. Emmett gets caught in a conflict between humans and rift energy mutants known as Outcasts. During the conflict, Emmett and his brother are both partially inflected with rift energy. While still able to hang on to some humanity, Emmett's brother joins the other Outcasts in their fight against the humans. As the only one who can stop his brother, Emmett sets out to bring justice to his brother and end this conflict once and for all. Other than the story mode, Starhawk's biggest feature is the Build n' Battle system. The Build n' Battle system allows players to build structures, vehicles and other weapons anytime during battle. This system keeps the game flowing at an incredible pace while adding a deep layer of strategy to this third-person shooter experience. Much like Warhawk, there is a huge emphasis on Starhawk's multi-player. You can play online with up to 31 other people. Also you can play both online or offline co-op with up to three other people.
While I am not personally excited for Starhawk, I have heard a lot of good things about it from those who played the beta. The beta must have been really good because it got my little brother to pre-order the game just like that. If you enjoyed the multi-player action of Warhawk, but felt the game needed a little more strategy, Starhawk is right up your alley.
