H.A.W.H.A.W.X.m Clancy is an action-oriented flight simulation comparable to Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII, in which the player controls an airplane in either first- or third-person view. Set shortly, the player gets access to various licensed planes, ranging from real-world aircraft such as the A-10A Thunderbolt II to prototype vehicles such as the F-15 Active utilized by NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center. Furthermore, before the game begins, the player can select a different weapon load-out for each plane. Both the weapon load-outs and the airplanes become available as the player progresses through the campaign. Each kill, as well as accomplishing objectives and tasks, awards the player with experience points.
While the mission goals range from defending Air Force One from enemy attacks to destroying ground targets, the challenges demand the player to defeat 50 adversaries using only his canon or achieve 300 aerial kills over the campaign. Throughout the game, the player will receive assistance from up to two additional pilots, whom he can direct to attack specific targets in his vision. The onboard computer also assists in estimating the best intercept or rocket avoidance routes.
In addition to standard keyboard, mouse, gamepad, and joystick compatibility, the game has voice recognition, which allows the player to fire missiles or change the target simply by saying a keyword into the microphone.
