Many Playstation 3 exclusive First-Person Shooters such as Killzone and Resistance raised the bar for the genre and just last year, many people were looking forward to a game called HAZE. Most gamers know that this game was made by Free Radical, develo...
Co-op support for up to four players makes the campaign more entertaining, Most of the weapons feel right.
Abysmal storytelling and voice acting squander the interesting premise, Stupid artificial "intelligence", Bad visuals and textures, Multiplayer is uninspiring and unbalanced.

A lacklustre FPS that promised so much but has delivered little. Frustrating to play, and although some high points nearly lift it from the mire, ultimately its weighed down by poorly implemented game mechanics and repetitive loading screens...
Some of the battles can be really intense and the overall storyline - although somewhat predictable - had a lot of promise.
The game features mediocre graphics and poor execution of some of the game mechanics. Some of the audio can be repetitive.

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...
