Nvidia explains how it thinks PhysX is enhancing the free-to-play multiplayer mech game, Hawken, in this trailer.

The video shows side-by-side comparisons of Hawken being played with and without PhysX. The primary enhancement is the addition of a lot more particle effects being rendered but some of the effects seem a little ostentatious.

See for yourself via the video below and let us know what you think. Does Hawken benefit from PhysX or has it merely added some superfluous frills to the game?

Hawken, developed by Adhesive Games and published by Meteor Entertainment, is available to play now via the game's website.
