Haze is an extraordinary PS 3 game. It is mostly about military operations fighting here and there. You character played in the game is as Jake Carpenter who is a new soldier in the Mantel army. You are trying to fight for a good cause. This game is featured with high-tech arsenal of vehicles, fatal weapon, and performance enhancing the bio-medical support. Hence, the soldiers in this game are very strong that they are feared by terrorists, rulers, and the corporation`s political enemies. The war begins in South America where the conflict happens. There your mission is to fight a cruel rebel group, The Promise Hand. As the game moves on it gets more and more strange. The game is featured with 3 levels either from single player or cooperative campaign. Therefore, you will get to a lot of fascinating experiences. At the first level, you are carrying a task of a Mantel army who is going to battle the Promised Hand rebels in a jungle. At second stage, it is about an enormous vehicle based which is set in a pit. Lastly, the spoiler appeared and pitted us against the Mantel armies. Well, kindly to say that viewers loved this game. Players find it an adventurous game to play during weekends.

    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

    A seven-hour campaign and uneventful multiplayer modes just don't cut it in light of the far better modern shooters available on the market. The patchy quality of the entire package is surprising, considering the developer's fine pedigree. Yet Haze is a roller-coaster ride made up of tall peaks and unfathomable valleys, and it won't leave you so much breathless as disappointed with its squandered potential. Read more

  1. "Average..Reviewed upon completion.."

    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

    First the classic ’Goldeneye 007’, then the superb ’Perfect Dark’, and then the enjoyable ’TimeSplitters’ series, and now ’Haze’. Free-Radical know how to make a decent FPS, and this will be a winner! And it’s a playstation 3 exclusive too! Xbox owners can keep their over-rated ’Halo’ franchise! - in fact no-end of Xbox owners get excited at the prospect of ’goldeneye’ appearing on Xbox live! (which it won’t!), and i’ve seen a few fanboys on... Read more

    Haze was one of my first purchases for the ps3 , hoping it would be our halo. Alas i was left dissapointed , everything about this game was badly done , the graphics , the storyline, gampleplay and online, ubisoft didnt put a foot right. ===storyline=== The storyline is based around a team of american fighters who take the drug nectar to heighten their fighting ability,soon things start to go wrong and you are left to fight against the establishment that once controlled...
