The game has the player flying various real-world aircraft on their missions and employs a semi-realistic simulation of aerial combat. Under normal conditions, the game prevents the plane from stalling and limits its maneuverability but this limiter can be disengaged to allow the player to perform all sorts of funky post-stall maneuvers. The other aspects of the game are more arcade-like; planes carry mountains upon mountains of missiles, even on the highest difficulty levels, and there is no need to keep track of fuel or the effects of physics on the human body. If this is all starting to sound familiar to you, chances are you have played ''[[Ace Combat]]'' before, and you would be right.

On the other hand, ''H.A.W.X.'' has been ported to the PC whereas ''Ace Combat'' remains a console-exclusive.
