I remember the first time I ever saw Haze. It was at the 2006 E3 show. I was walking by the Ubisoft pavilion and two huge guys in army fatigues shoved a tiny black box of energy pills in my hand and yanked me into an indoctrination booth to view a sne...
I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I will now that we are wrapping things up. The single most enjoyable moment of this game was the final 30 seconds, with a story reveal that is worthy of an M. Night Shyamalan script. That single moment justified a lot...

In one of the few things it gets right, Haze is appropriately titled. It has an incomplete, unsubstantial feel to it -- maybe it should've been held off for more seasoning, since as it is, it'll soon rise into the gaming miasma of unremarkable shooters...

Abysmal storytelling and voice acting squander the interesting premise, Stupid artificial "intelligence", Multiplayer is uninspiring and unbalanced.
