Still more Iron Eagle than Top Gun.

Air combat sequel landing at a store near you today.

It feels so weird to be telling you this, but Ubisoft has made an advergame based on Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 and ... it's kinda good! It's a pretty basic shmup with an 8-bit theme, though it's a bit more forgiving than most traditional games in the genre. (Your plane can actually take more than one hit before going down.)

Everything else is pretty much what you'd expect: a rad soundtrack; several weapon types; and an endless supply of enemies to blast into oblivion. Don't believe us? Hit up the link and check it out.

Air combat gets even more arcade-like in this Wii-exclusive take on the Tom Clancy series.

#clips Ubisoft's upcoming air-combat game isn't just about the fancy fixed-wing fighter aircraft. The latest trailer for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 shows you'll be in charge of helicopters and the massive AC-130 gunship too. The demo's already out on both consoles. More »

HAWX stands for Hyper-Active Wooly Xylophone. These pictures make sense of it all.

Ubisoft has revealed new information about Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2, which Joystiq got to see in an early build last week at a pre-E3 event. The sequel to the flight combat simulator is expanding its purview to include "all aspects of aerial combat," including takeoffs and landings, recon missions in UAVs, air-to-air refueling and dogfighting missions, and even laser-guiding bombs down to targets.

The game will use satellite imagery to create realistic locations from all over the world, including Moscow, the Arctic Circle and a desert area we got to see in the Persian Gulf. Ubisoft also told Joystiq that the game would offer four-player co-op throughout the whole campaign, as well as "full adversarial multiplayer" with up to eight players involved.

It was also hinted that H.A.W.X. 2 will tie in some of Ubisoft's other Tom Clancy properties, though we weren't yet told how. We'll learn more when we get to play the game (which is due out on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC this fall) in a hands-on at E3.

Kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy.

Get a mile high with these new images.

Prepare to fly high this fall.
