When it's actually running, HAWX seems like a decent Ace Combat-style plane game. I popped in a retail copy of I popped in a retail copy of Tom Clancy's HAWX yesterday to get working on a review and discovered that there seems to be some kind of "issue" with the 360 version of the game.





Once I get past the game's intro movie and hit the title screen, upon hitting start, the 360 makes a noise like it's attempting to open up the "pick your save location" window, but the window never comes and the game just sort of dies at the title screen.





I've booted up the game a total of four times so far. The first two attempts were crashes, but the third time was the charm, letting me get in and actually play (where there were no further problems). Now, coming back for more today, my fourth boot crashed. This fourth attempt came after installing the game to the 360's hard drive, the other three were off the disc.





After griping about it a bit on Twitter , I only found one other person with the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be happening to every single HAWX owner out there. But I'm curious to hear about how widespread it actually is.





So, if you've picked up HAWX, how is it running? Is it running at all ?
