 Overhypedness was its doom May 28, 2008

Ok this game is not fantastic but its still great in aspects of gameplay. The graphics are below par for sure! and its a very short game! BUT the gameplay in my opinion is what saves this game, sure its no COD4 but its got really great multiplayer fun gameplay, both on storymode and team deathmatch's etc. The storyline is better then what reviews have made it out to be, again sure its no uncharted but its intresting and at least makes you want to continue. What i see is, this game was so amazingly OVERHYPED that it doomed the game with awful reviews when they just got this average FPS. So everyone was so bitterly dissapointed because they didnt get this AAA exclusive that they were so hoping for! Its a shame because this game deserves better then 4.5/10!

I bought a PS3 because I thought it would blow the M$ Xbox 360 clean away interms of its well hyped graphical capabilities & raw processing power.
As it stands the Xbox 360 seems to blow the PS3 away virtually everytime with better games, graphics (especially AAA titles), online gameplay support, the list goes on.
I thought Haze was supposed to be a PS3 AAA title are they having a laugh!
Surely we PS3 owners deserve better than this crap.

Firstly let get the obvious out the way Haze is a bit of a disappointment one again we have spent months (many of them thanx to delays) listening to how great Free - Goldeneye,Timesplitters- Radical next gen game is going to be from mags and websites, and we are where expecting something truely amazing! What we have recieved is a solid shooter with a great multiplayer and simple but effective story line.
But sadly the disppointment has been too much for many to bear and have critisied it beyond all reconigition! IGN's review of 4.5 and Gamecentrals review of 3 out of 10 is just ridiculous! I mean just look at other games they have given the same score then play Haze and you can not honestly agree.
I am roughly half way through Haze and I admit I almost cancelled my pre order for this game, but as I have a XBOX 360 which takes up most my time my PS3 has become increasing un-used. So I thought I would get the first PS3 exclusive in ages and judge it for myself.
Haze plays very well the presentation of the game is very good the mantra blacks and yellows are throughout the menu system and looks smart. The game opens in a frantic fire fight where you taught the basics of Nectar pretty quick. Your fellow Mantra Soldiers are very funny really gun ho american (who sound like most Xbox Livers) have been completely blinded by the Nectar drug into ignoring the horrors of war. There banta is very amusing as the cheer and shout at enemys deaths. But before too long the lead character realises that there Nectar is just a way of mind control and soon realises he is fighting for wrong side. No granted the story will not win any oscars neither will the voice acting but it keeps you interested enough to keep playing.
The graphics that have seemed to upset so many people are not that bad I have seen worse. They seem to range from very good for example the Mantra Soldiers look great equally as detailed as the Master Chief in Halo. From the quite bland and bad for example the swap level the graphics look almost unfinished. I am not graphics whore and can live with this.
Haze keeps getting comared to Halo and for good reason they are very similar even the name Haze/Halo suggests this is not by accident. The vehicles for example are virtually the same as Holo (but not as many) there are is a humvy type jeeps with mounted Machine guns that up to 4 mantra soldiers can jump on. There also quad bikes which are the same as Halo's mules, they all handle very well and break up the FPS action.
The whole Nectar gimic is pretty much unders used as you are only a Mantra soldier for the first 2 levels then you become a rebel. Now this is where the fun begins, using the nectar against the moronic mantra Soldiers is great fun.
The multiplayer is also really good fun, it is very eash to work as a team and you can get involved in some great shoots out and is a lot easier to play and get into than say Warhawk! Its true there are not many modes but Team Deathmatch is always my favourite anyway. as I am sure your are also aware the there is a 4 player co-op mode for the whole campaign which is great. This can be jumped in and out of like Gears of War so if enjoying single player but are are struggling just switch to co-op and bring some mates on. The online side of Haze is very good and is really limited by the somewhat naff PS Network.
So in short Haze is not the "must have title" we all hoped for but is not half as bad as the reviews make out. I have noticed tho that Ubisoft did not release a review code previous to release, this always upsets mags and website hence the bad review bandwagon they all seem to jump on. Haze is not really Sonys answer to Gears of War or Halo but there is solid shooter here give it ago!
