    But the few plus points simply aren’t enough. The hype simply wasn’t worth it, and Haze deserves to find itself confined to the bargain bins sooner rather than later. Read more

    Regardless of its name, it’s still clear to see Haze is a disappointing game based on a weak premise that has been half-heartedly realised. As a result it is all too easy to label it one of the greatest disappointments the industry has seen in the past few years. Read more

    Haze is a first person shooter set in the future. The player fights as Shaun Carpenter, a new recruit fighting for Mantel Corporation. It's not well explained through the game but Mantel are supposed to be the good guys appearing in technology much like the US military. With their soldiers resembling yellow storm troopers from Star Wars. Haze is a Playstation 3 (PS3) exclusive title.  The key fac... Read more

    Okay so hugely disappointing for so many reasons. The game starts off reasonably well but the first thing that stands out for me is that the three typical visual effects (cinematics, cutscenes and in game play) are massivley different in quality. The cinematics are exceptional and much like in Army of Two they are so far beyond the in game play graphics - photo film quality. Then there is the middle ground of cutscences, which look basic and blocky. Why oh why do... Read more

    With games like Killzone and Resistance being Playstation exclusives for First-Person shooters, back in 2008 just last year a lot of people were looking forward to a game called HAZE which is a First-Person shooter. Most gamers would know that this game was made by Free Radical anyone a fan of the Timesplitters series? (I know I am), most fans thought that there was going to be a Timesplitters 4 on the PS3. But Free Radical decided to create another franchise for the... Read more

  3. Over hyped game, turns out to be just an average FPS

    Considering the amount of delays this game has had, you would think the end result would be a polished game? Sadly its not. The story, and gameplay are fine (its great when you use a melee attack, and quickly steal your enemies weapon and use it against them!). The main problem, is the amount of glitches, and the mediocre graphics. The glitches appear towards the end of the game (you\’ll know when you see them), and the look of the game is more PS2.5, than PS3. I... Read more

    I REALLY like the people who developed this game. Their TimeSplitters series was so much fun. I hate that Free Radical went bankrupt; I was really looking forward to more Timesplitters games. I think this game paired with the loss of their rights to develop battlefront 3 is what put them under. They were a really good company, just with one bad game that did them in. Crytek bought them out though. You can see about 40 of their employees on Crytek's site listed under... Read more
