 You have to see it for yourself... June 19, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
After buying a new Sony Bravia 26" HDTV, I was looking for a new game for my PS3 to test out the power of my new TV. I'd seen quite afew ads for Haze in gaming magazines, and knew I wanted that new game to be Haze. Luckily, I found it on sale at Kmart for 39.99 and picked it up immediately.
Know that I've played all the way through the game, I can easily say it's the most entertaining game I own for the PS3! The graphics are good, the action is intense, and the story is phenomenal!
The year is 2048, and private armies for each country no longer exist, now all military action is handled through small freelance military corporations. You are newly appointed Sergeant Shane Carpenter, a soldier from one of the largest freelance military corporations, "MANTEL", on a mission is South America for "ethnic cleansing." A terrorist Dictator known as "Skin Coat" has been committing unspeakable crimes against humanity, flaying and skinning anyone who stands in his way, then turning their skins into coats, hence his name. Nothing more is known about Skin Coat, but he's built himself an army of his own, and it's up to you, (Shane Carpenter) and the rest of the MANTEL soldiers to eliminate this terrorist threat.
Skin Coat's army is impressive, but MANTEL soldiers are given a special performance-boosting drug called "Nectar." With Nectar at their disposal, MANTEL troopers can shot straighter, run faster, hear better, and see enemies with far greater clarity than any average soldier. With Nectar on your side, taking out Skin Coat and his army should be a piece of cake! But is their more to Nectar than meets the eye?
From there, many shocking twists & turns show you the truth about MANTEL, and make Sgt. Carpenter question, "Am I really doing the right thing here?" But I won't spoil any of that for you...
Like many great games these days, Haze tells a truly deep & immersive story that very well could've been turned into a novel rather than a video game, and like most great stories, Haze's has quite afew morals to it...
Haze's story is anti-war, anti-drug, and suggests that people should always question things and see the truth for themselves before believing everything they're told or hear on TV.
Once again, I won't spoil it for you, but Haze's story is intense, riveting, thought-provoking, and not to be missed!
PROS: Good graphics, intense action, and thought-provoking story!
The characters all have their own unique personalities and reasons for fighting.
Much like Halo, many of the fire fights can be fast-paced and very exciting!
Many clever twists throughout the story.
Great voice acting! (For principal characters)
Vivid visual effects, that look especially good on an HDTV!
Supports 720p High Definition transfer!
Highly realistic sound effects, voices, and explosions!
CONS: Some players will find Haze's selection of weapons somewhat limited... The weapons are limited to different variations of Hand Gun, Rifle, Shot Gun, Sniper Rifle, Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, Grenades, and Throwing Knives.
While the voice acting is for the most part great, some of the NPC's have poor, generic voices, complete with repetetive one-liners that can really get on your nerves.
Some of the character models look a little dated...
There are afew annoying in-game glitches. Doors won't open when they're supposed to, characters will appear out of thin air on screen when you enter a room sometimes, and on rare occasions you'll go through a check point and mysteriously fall through the ground beneath you to your death. Although these glitches can be remedied by restarting the game at the beginning of the chapter you're on, it's still annoying having to do so.
The Verdict: 4 out of 5 Stars! A great game for PS3, afew little glitches here & there, but with such an amazing story it's well worth playing. Hopefully they'll be coming out with Haze 2 very soon!
Game Informer Magazine wrote another one of their niche reviews on this game that blew all of it's faults way out of proportion and gave it a much lower score than it deserved, but much like the game's story suggests, you should see it for yourself first before you start believing what somebody else has to say about it.

This game is compatible to Call of Duty 4. Very good. Highly recommend it. Wish PS3 used the same game pad as XBOX 360
 Not Too Inspiring June 15, 2008

First, I am not holding it against the game that it took me 20 minutes of downloading data and updates just to play this mediocre game. The cutscenes and dialog are truly painful, and w/out a way to skip past them, you must suffer or go make a sandwich. The controls are generally fine, but it feels like you are going thru the motions and just killing time; I didn't find anything technically wrong here, but it just seemed to have whatever "IT" is that makes a game an invigorating experience, and most of all fun. I would say personally this is one of Ubisoft's worst games. Not a bad rent if you want to check it out, though. I guess the biggest thing to me is that this game had some real potential, esp. they had put the time into it like the Rainbow Six games. But as it stands, I would rather play BLACK again.
Wow... June 14, 2008

Wow...this game is missing something but I don't know what that is. Just like Army of Two, all the hype and then it came out average. Dont pay full price for this...ebay it. I know you want more of a review but there is nothing to give you. It's missing something!
