I've downloaded both demos, played Hawx first (and a lot more than AC6 because I only downloaded it tonight) and I actually think that AC6 is better. But that's just my opinion based on the demos.

can anyone who's owned and played both extensively comment?

Fuggit, topic title was supposed to say "360" not "260"

Too much whisky...

Niether. Buy Over-G Fighters instead much MUCH beter, unless you prefer arcadey games to proper flight-sims.

I've actually decided I don't like Hawx much. Over-G more of a simulation then?

I LOVED the original Ace Combat game, but having downloaded number 6 recently it appears you have to be a qualified pilot to play the dam thing, i found it so hard.

are there any proper arcade style flight sims out there, i just want to fly around blowing stuff up, any WW2 ones?

Ace Combat 6 really isn't that difficult to play!

I love it, the missions are lonng so obviously keeps you interested alot.

It takes a few attempts at getting it right, but after that.. You can go have alot of fun, another thing was they've gone a little into the future, with a big sky ship thing that other planes launch off which I didn't like as I prefer it to be as real as possible but definately worth getting!

It was the fake futuristic stuff that i wasn't keen on in the AC6 demo. Kind of why i think i should try over-G fighters...

Yep over G is deffinetly the most realistic of the flying games. You can fully customize your load out and fuel level and there's none of this 70 odd missles rubbish you get in Ace Combat. Also you have to be aware of fuel and various other things like flame outs and missle ivasion is alot more realistic. There are alot of the same planes F-14, F-18, F-16 but you also get things like the f35 WITH THE HOVER CAPABILITY. It's also alot cheaper than the others.
