    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!

    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!)

    Reviewers really need to stop dipping their pens in the buckets of cash coming from their entertainment media owners. IGN was obviously paid to slam Haze. The graphics are on par - not revolutionary but not horrible. The plot is on par - not quite Tom Clancy but not as retarded as the likes of Halo. The gameplay is the best of any FPS on the PS3 at this time. What are they talking about?

    I thought this game was great the game graphics were incredeble, that the prologe of the game was very intresting and i cant wait till the next comes out and the 4 player co op mode makes me take a run for my money and i dont regret the money i spent on HAZE.

    One of the best games I played this year although the graphics are outdated the rest of the game easily makes up for it.

    I really like the online multiplayer on this game. the team death match is so much fun. i dont care about story mode. this game has a ton of maps too which is a huge plus. great game. i know it sounds fanboyish but really its not. im going to have tons of fun with this game no matter what anyone says.

    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.

    looks amasing, if it has everything the developer says it does it shud be THE BEST game ever, awsome online , great storyline, (you get to switch sides) no load time im hoping that it wont turn out rubbish like other hyped up games... shame about the delay but, if there is a problem im glad they delay it rather than ruin the game by relasing a bugy game

    Haze looks to a very exciting game, from what I've seen. Plenty of online fun, and the co-op looks entertaining. The story looks intriguing, and Nectar seems pretty cool. The player's abilities look well done.

    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.

    the question is, with all of these bad and half good reviews, is it possible that this many critics could be wrong? the answer is, yes. clearly, too many expected one thing, and got another. i'm loving everything about it. the story is funny, dark and smart. the graphics have a glow about them. not every wall is amazing to look at. but, the graphics are impressive. a few spots in the the question is, with all of these bad and half good reviews, is it possible that this many critics could be wrong? the answer is, yes. clearly, too many expected one thing, and got another. i'm loving everything about it. the story is funny, dark and smart. the graphics have a glow about them. not every wall is amazing to look at. but, the graphics are impressive. a few spots in the game stand out. as in, fair better than even that of bioshock, for one instance. the swamps, in particular, for swamps, were the best i have seen in a game. the gameplay is the kind, where i'm not having to ask myself if i'm having a great time. i'm always moving, and always enjoying the heck out of myself, playing it. listen, i don't see what the big deal is. and, i'm not blind. not dumb. not biased. i'm just saying, i'm personally highly impressed with haze. i'm proud to show it off to my friends without a ps3 to play it on. and, already, those friends think it's incredible. they all wished they had it. so, maybe you will like it. maybe you won't. but, just because twenty burnt-out critics agree on something, doesn't make it true.… Expand

    I was very skeptical but now I'm a... believer!! HAZE is quite a unique FPS. At first it seems normal, you run around and get some dialogue going, easy missions, but once you get your nectar on - a sort of omni-enhancer which speeds things up, makes you stronger, gives you trippy visuals ETC - the game becomes really intense.

    This game is incredibly fun. After playing for several hours, I find it hard to put down.

The story (no -important- spoilers) is very intriguing. It shows the negative effects of war without consciousness of consequences and lack of morals. The main character is believable, and you truly begin to care about him throughout the course of the story. Both sides are fun to play as, each side having advantages and disadvantages. I won't go into them all, but Nectar is both a blessing and a curse. Forced overdoses can lead to massive team death, while correct doses can lead to faster takedown of the enemy. I enjoy this game, and therefore I believe it deserves an 8.5-9.… Expand

    The graphics are mediocre but so far the plot and gameplay are amazing! people keep comparing this game to halo but it's not all that similar. depends on what you're looking for. this is a lot more intelligent.

    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.
