    Haze is proof of just how fickle hype can be. Every now a game will come along that’s groomed for greatness, and should it live up to expectations, glowing media coverage usually grants it the final significant springboard to success. On the occasions when such a game falls short however, it must face the weighty scorn of a disappointed press and, by association, an apathetic gaming public. 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 a first person shooter which on paper should be quite good. I purchased Haze from an online store which was having a sale. I couldn't understand why this game was in the sale as I remember it being quite hyped when it was first released. I took it around to my friend's house and upon putting it in the machine and trying to play it we soon discovered why it may have been so cheap. The game opened with some annoying characters flying out to sort out a problem. I can't... 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
