Walk into a game store and you'll find that in many popular game genres, such as real-time strategy and first-person shooter games, there are budget-priced versions for $20 or less. So it makes sense that developers would also try to make a budget-priced version of stealth games like Metal Gear Solid and Thief, and that's precisely what K-Hawk: Survival Instinct is. Unfortunately, as with many budget-priced games, you get what you pay for with K-Hawk: a stripped-down game with poor graphics, poor sound, and a clunky control scheme.
In the game, you play as the titular K-Hawk, a young, blonde helicopter pilot who gets shot down behind enemy lines and eventually unearths a diabolical plot. Though she's a pilot, K-Hawk will actually spend all her time sneaking around outside the visual and audible range of nearby guards as she completes simplistic objectives, such as flipping a certain number of switches or recovering a keycard to open a locked door. She can run, walk, and crouch, though moving quickly makes more noise, so it's usually best to creep past enemy soldiers. Of course, there will be times when you simply can't avoid them and must shoot them down using a handgun or a rifle. Though you can recover real-world weapons like a SOCOM pistol or an M16 assault rifle, the various pistols and rifles are more or less identical, except that some rifles have a sniper scope and some guns can carry different amounts of ammunition.
