 In a Haze of disappointment June 11, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Haze
For a game that took a long time to finally arrive, was promoted as a Halo-type game, and cost an arm and a leg to buy, Haze totally disappoints.
First off, I love first person shooters, but am not the best at them-they usually take me 4 to 5 times to finish compared to other players. I finished this game in about 6 hours in the single player campaign mode. I'm not a big fan of online play, but reviews of Haze's online modes lets me know I'm not missing anything. The single player campaign if you could call it that included about an hour or so of useless, crappy cutscenes that could easily have been cut out of the game to increase it's value-I kept uselessly trying to click through them(you can't) and ended up doing other things until they were done. Playing as a Mantel soldier with nectar is extremely brief and when the game set me up to play as a rebel, I thought that this all must have been part of the tutorial or something, because the first part lasted only as long as some game's tutorials or demos do. I just thought they wanted you to see how to play as the different characters before getting truly into the game. The stupid storyline is forced, inane, redundant, childlike, unnecessary, and just plain worthless, because the game is short short short-the result is characters(if you can call them that) form ideas too soon to make sense-they like you, they hate you and I just hate them all-there are really only 2 characters you talk to for more than 5 seconds. Some of the graphics were good, but the location is ridiculously stupid and uninspired. There's one cave area that looks like it was taken right from Oblivion-it was that familiar to me. Comparing it to Halo is sooo depressing, since Halo takes place in Space which immerses you in the futuristic feel, has many types of enemies(not just 2) that are truly interesting and creepy, allows you to drive/pilot different vehicles-not just a few of the same type, gives you choices for weapons, gets you involved in a story, and takes time to play out. Anyone who thinks this is just a wonderful game, has yet to play one or is just being protective of the PS3. I love my PS3, don't have an xbox, and I can't tell you the depth of my disappointment. Compare it to a game like Resident Evil 4 or God of War, games created for previous game systems and it doesn't even hold up. Drake's Fortune, which was somewhat short in and of itself, did the jungle better, did the graphics better, did the storyline better, did the cutscenes better. Did I say the game is short? Shame on you UBIsoft-how about a refund? I can't give this more than 1 star, because I wouldn't even suggest renting it. Such promise, such garbage.
 Huh? This game is great fun June 11, 2008

I recently played this game with a friend and we had a great time playing the Muliplayer and "Dual" screen campaign mode. The game was challenging enough and the controls, sound, backgrounds were great. I would agree that the AI seems to be odd at times, but the game itself is a lot of fun and was not just another "shooter". Give the game a try before you decide it's fate.
WOW, just look at the price drop that will clue you in on the game. June 10, 2008

This game just came out with incredible hype and the price is already slashed in half. What does that tell you without reading a review?
The game is avg at best. It isn't as bad as Turok, but really is poorly done. Rental, or wait until it's $19.99. Maybe in a week, lol.

After all the hyped announcements (Halo killer for PS3 yadda yadda blah blah) and the year of postponement I am just stumped...
Since I don't want to waste too much time on this junk I will keep this review short.
To put my review in perspective: I won both a PS3 as well as a 360, I play Halo3, COD4, GRAW/2, Gears of War mostly.
Naturally I was hoping for a PS3 alternative to the XBOX's Halo series and that is what Haze touted to be.
The negatives:
- Graphics: these graphics are NOT worthy of the PS3. The characters and maps lack realism, textures are anno 2-years-ago. How dare they sell this as state of the art graphics.
- The controls and gameplay overall is slow paced and with awkward controls. Online games were quickly abandoned because they are lame and without action.
- Storyline: lots of useless, uninspired cinematic sequences with mediocre voice acting.
Pros: NONE I can think of.
Solid waste of 60$ for something that should be sold for 20$ on PS3 online.

If you like Shooters than Haze is for you.I enjoyed the story line and the different weapons that were available.Vehicles were easy to use and you get some great jumps.It was also fun to shoot the Nectar tank and watch players O.D. pretty funny.My favorite level was on the land carrier.Graphics rocked sound was good too.I recommend this game.I would have liked more vehicle missions and the A.I.could have been a little better.
