    The game is interesting and the idea of the story is very good. Unfortunely the story mode is crap. Fortunely the multiplayer saves the game by being very good, just like any other Free Radical title's multiplayer. Even better is the fact, that the game is still alive.

    This game requires each gamer personal opinion. No question about it. In my opinion - its realy fun game. If you like Call of Duty and Sci-Fi, HAZE waits you, but not critics haze of course.

    The low scores are lies. Reviewers in the UK, Japan and Australia have rated haze as high as 9/10. Mantel represents the US Army. Nectar is the US Army's arrogance and the propaganda it uses. That's why US sites are bashing the game. Plain and simple.

    This is one of the worst games ever made. its like cysis/farcry/ turok but so much worse because its outright shovelware. i give it 1/10 because its a blu ray disk and you can use the case to hold another game.

    This game is good. It isn't the best game out there, but it is definately worthy of a higher score than that (i'm looking at you IGN!)

    In a packed genre such as FPS there's really no excuse for such a dull, generic and flawed game.

    Mind-numbingly awful. One has to wonder how a developer can put such garbage on the market without knowing it's complete garbage. Are their ego's that large, or are they just hoping the rest of us are that stupid?

    The plot is a Hijacking mess.
    Ok, you're with the Mantel's...Now you're with the other guys but now you're not and now you're not on any team....and then BLAHBLAHBLAH!
    All the characters are unlikeable stone-cold dick-heads who I seriously want to die. And you are an annoying, whining little school boy, which is hard to beleive after you've mowed down entire colonies of Terrorists. And    The plot is a Hijacking mess.

    And when you do swap sides, it makes NO SENSE.
    They're armour basically turns into cake.

    Oh, and when you do swap sides, your current team takes away your : Sights, Scope, HP Indicator, Nectar, all your Shotguns and Rifles and leaves you with a **** Magmum that wouldn't even count as a splinter.

    Too annoying, too stupid, and the characters are annoying.

    BUT! I played through the game about 5 times, and not one did I encounter a bug...And the Online modes are fun.

    Infact, you can even play the Campaign online, so more people from other countries can suffer too! ****    … Expand

    Esperaba mucho de este juego y me llevé una decepción enorme, no es nada innovador, los tiroteos son toscos y las mecanicas muy pobres, y la historia aunque interesante, está muy mal llevada

    O jogo tinha potencial para ficar marcado,mas o que vimos é um algo superficial e genérico,simplesmente não conseguir ganhar simpatia pelo jogo,tudo muito medíocre...resultado...um jogo medíocre.Não jogaria de novo e também não aconselho ser jogado...apenas jogue-o se não tiver outra escolha.

    Terrible game, sluggish story utter, boring mediocre gameplay and multiplayer. Slightly enjoyable co-op but apart from that this game is not worth buying. Definitely below average. Anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasn't played many FPS in recent times.

    After the hype that we endured, Haze proved to be an underwhelming delivery of an interesting idea. Done right, this game could have lived up to it's own speculation and become PS3's Halo.

    I had a feeling this game wasn't going to be as bad as many were claiming. I rented it, finished it in five days and was for the most part entertained. The graphics are very good, despite what many have said. This graphics engine is a winner and I look forward to playing other games that utilize it.

The textures are sharp and the engine does a fantastic job with big open spaces. Visually very impressive. Most importantly it runs smoothly with no frame-rate issues whatsoever. The controls are precise and responsive, what more can you ask for? Granted the AI wasn't perfect but AI never is and for the most part it was better than adequate. Was the story lame? Not more then any other. Was the voice acting bad? No, it was average at worst. I really don't know what people were expecting? Were their expectations just so incredibly and unrealistically high? Granted this game isn't worth 60 bucks, but not many games are. It definitely is worth a rental. I am glad I rented it and I don't regret spending roughly six to eight hours playing it.… Expand

    Clunky controls, horrible A.I, even worse story, and zero fun factor. HAZE should have lived up to the Timesplitters series... instead it's the PS3s biggest disappointment.

    it looks like a promising game, but the fact that people are giving it 10's already is ridiculous. Ps3 fans are desperate for a good game, sony is banking on this one to come through, or things could turn disasterous.

    Its a fun game at its core. isnt what games is all about???I liked the graphics, trust me ive seen worst than that. to anyone who liked the timesplitters serie, youll feel at home playing this, the controls are tight, the gameplay is solid, team assault online is a blast. my only concern is the that the game can freaking hard at time, even in multiplayer coop. just ridiculously hard, to Its a fun game at its core. isnt what games is all about???I liked the graphics, trust me ive seen worst than that. to anyone who liked the timesplitters serie, youll feel at home playing this, the controls are tight, the gameplay is solid, team assault online is a blast. my only concern is the that the game can freaking hard at time, even in multiplayer coop. just ridiculously hard, to the point where we had to stop and play something else. anyway, if youre not ready to pay a full 60$ on it, wait to get in the bargain bin at 30$ or so. its worth your time. one thing for sure, I had high expectations for this game and they werent met, I'll wait and see with timesplitters 4.… Expand

    This PS3-only game is a real HALO rival. If you saw the trailers of it, you will know its awesome features. This game is the Halo of the PS3. It is so fun that you will be so happy buying the game once released!

    From what I've played it's a really good game. The idea of online co-op campaign is also good. It's got alot of humour in it as well. I can't see how this game will fall short unlesss it's campaign is not very long but it beats Conflict: Denied Ops by a mile

    Pretty damn amazing game. Getting to play both sides is cool. The co-op mode makes this game a 10!

    More narratively cohesive than the Halo trilogy, but less inventive and compelling than Resistance: Fall Of Man, Haze does finally give us a self-aware portrait of videogame soldiers, and a foil for all the head-butting, "boo-yah" behavior that's been the norm for far too long in the medium. Too bad it's paired with one of the more pedestrian FPS games to come along in recent years.

    Haze does not live up to the company's reputation thanks to a horrible plot, weak gameplay mechanics and visuals that are truly underwhelming. While playing with friends is enjoyable, not even those are enough to bring this lackluster title around.

    Ultimately, Haze is still sitting in the wake of Call of Duty 4, and falls into that category of being just another FPS.
