Haze Review

By Tom Orry - 21/05/2008 - 8:20am GMT

Far from a complete disaster but, given the high level of hype surrounding its release and the pedigree of developer Free Radical, Haze still stands as one of the biggest disappointments of this gen.

It's... okay online. Nothing too special, but still good fun. Call of Duty 4's multiplayer is better, mind, That said, I completely agree with the review when it comes to the single player being a bit todge; it really isn't very good at all.

To avoid being called a Microsoft fanboy, I:

a) Work in the industry and can't be bothered what platform my games are for

and

b) Earn enough to own all three so don't have to justify my purchases by talking ********.

People who gives a crap about what system is better, in my opinion they are both decent in their own ways. own both xbox and ps3. to me this game looks like shit and i tend towards ps3 games. Halo in my opinion is shitty, i would have to say the killzone franchise is better but i havent played the new one. the ps3 does have more graphics power hands down, COD4 looks way better on ps3 than 360 and GTA4 looks better too. and i do play on HD. people argue live is better than psn but id say they are pretty close to the same. you also have to consider the ps3 is a much harder console to develope games on where as the 360 is very similar to the pc's development. Give it a break with 360 is better all ps3 exclusives suck. ps3 has been on the market less time than the 360 and does have some decent titles comming out in the near future. You also have to remember that the ps market has not always been shooters it is more of the rpg fantasy, sports family console where as the xbox 1 was a hard core m rated system with all the fps and hardcore games made for the teens and young adults (military guys) both systems have their goods and bads hardware wise ps3 better, gameplay xbox better . I prefer ps3 myself. this is just an opinion. psn Fuoman Xbox live Devin003

why is it relevant if this game is exclusive or not? end of the day a game with crap devlopment will still be crap, regardless of the power of the console. fanboys need to learn that any game can be good on any system if enough time and effort is put into it.

in the case of haze, it had time, but no thought or effort put into it.

I've been saying Haze would turn out like this ever since I heard about this shameless Halo knock-off. Next year KZ2 will also be an epic failure.

I loved Haze, I don't know what the deal is with this review. I played on a 50" Plasma and the graphics were great. Resistance, on the other hand, looked like crap compared to Haze.

I work in the Apple/Mac industry and I know for a FACT that companies pay for good "editorial reviews", hell, I used to write them for money and/or product, so I know it happens. I'm getting the feeling that Free Radical didn't pay out because they knew this game was good. But, when you don't pay you get crap reviews. That's the way it is in the computer websites, probably the same here. That's sad because being a video game player (at 34 years old) for just a couple of years, I own both PS3 and Xbox360 and depend on reviews for good games. I bought this one before reading reviews because it looked good and I had just finished a great game the week before. That said, had I not pre-bought it and had read this review I might not have bought it.

If you decide not to buy because of this review you're cheating yourself out of a great, gorgeous, game.

That's quite possibly the most rediculous thing I've read on the Internet in a long time. And that's saying something.

I bought this game today, I have played 3 levels and that is about enough for me, i will be swapping it at EB games tommorrow. Its not terrible but does feel dated. There are a few nice visuals but not many. I also own both consoles but still believe the PS3 to be superior. GT5 , motorstorm , Drakes fortune , call of duty 4 , heavenly sword. Xbox 360 tends to be more for teenagers weras the playstation tends to be more of an adult console.

Because Halo was the first FPS?

Your posts always bring a smile to my face.

The game seems adequte, just not great.However I have heard the online and co-op are top notch. That should count for something in the review. So maybe a 7 is fairer.
Still, I feel Haze has suffered from the backlash that comes from high expectation and hype. If the game could'nt quite deliver it gets a right kicking. If it had'nt shouted as much as it did for months and months I'm sure there would've been a little less acid in the reviews.
That said, from Free Radical I was expecting better.

well has to be said this game is a complete waste of money. i got it hoping for a true next gen game that (given the hype) was gona b outstanding. what i did get was cheesy soldiers, shit AI, lame graphics, appauling textures, uncontrollable vehicles, grahpics dissappearing in places and 'sebeen there done that bought hte tshirt' gameplay. this review gives it a bit to much credit. ive since traded mine back in, seriously not worth the cash tho. im PS3 all the way but theres no hiding it guys this one looses big time :(
