Only the most positive Haze reviews here

"The first reviews were rather scathing towards the PS3 "exclusive" FPS, and many accused us of anti-PS3 sentiment (in spite of us not having written any of those reviews)."

Are you serious? People are that fanboyish that they would actually blame you guys for other people's opinions?

This is pretty pathetic.

From what i've seen that Graphic is probably better than the game. (though the GIF is pretty tough competition. Hilarious)

OPM Italia 9/10

Famitsu 34/40

Quite strange that these have not showed up on Metacritic eh?

Good co-op can save an otherwise medicore game. This might be worth a look when the used copies start hitting the shelves.

I'm waiting for Zero Punctuation's review.

lol, i love the Nectar infusion to make everything "all better".

Why did anyone ever think this game would be anything other than average? From the first screenshot, there's been absolutely nothing that screamed "This will set Haze apart from every other FPS!"
I've asked why, and indeed pleaded people not to get excited because I knew it would be another damp squib like Lair and Heavenly Sword, but I could understand the initial excitement for those two games... but this?! And I've never gotten an answer why. In fact I've been called a Halo fanboy on numerous occasions for merely asking the question, and I've never even picked up an Xbox controller!
The fact that the "best" reviews are all mediocre (it's common knowledge that 7/10 games are trash) really doesn't say a lot.
So who hyped this game? The devs or the PS3 fans? And since when does anyone listen to dev hype? I think there's a "world changing" game released every week or two, according to them.

is this the first time a gif has been used on this site for an article?

considering i have actually played the game, and almost done with it. the game is frickin' awesome!

the reason it is getting bad reviews is because the entire first half of the game is meant to be crap. it is in an environment where you cant see, the voices are repetitive, ai is flat out DUMMMB, and the use of nectar is absolutely required to be able to do anything at all. when "the twist" happens everything is explained and unfortunately that dialogue is completely missed or just being overlooked. i am an FPS FAN, love them on my PC, and this is the first one besides ghost recon back on the PS2 that i can say controls well. the ironsights, precision, and everything else that changes during the flip is phenomenal. SURE, it isnt a halo, a cod4, some gargantual franchise, but keep in mind this is HAZE, not HAZE 4. for a start, for a beginning, for a NEW FPS the main draw is the story elements and the all around fantastic feel of the game. nectar helps it, adds a lot of dualality to the game and keeps things interesting.

let me put it this way, the controls work in every second of the game. the driving is a bit odd, but guess what it still works.

go out and get this GAME!

I'm starting to think almost every single game for either PS3 or 360 or what have you is just like the Atari days. Think about it.

LMAO

Great job Andrew!

I hope you take this as a lesson to wait for more reviews before you put them up as a "group"... Ps3Fanboy.com.

I love you guys & all. But seriously, if you want to toy around, don't tell me you didn't expect some sort of backlash. You need to have a variety of reviews before you make an ARTCILE on one. Sure one of them may have a negative review, fine... but without another one to compare it to, how are we supposed to get a broader view as to what the average impression it has?

Usually these "Badly done anti-PS3 sarcasm articles" are seen to come from Yoon. However we all know what his console preference is, so why the hell should anyone give a fuck what he thinks anyway?... by that, no one should take any of it seriously either.

As for Haze, I see it as pure FUN... nothing else. Story driven or not, I'm not sitting there with a bucket of popcorn in my hands, I'm just in for the good old multiplayer fun Halo 1, 2 & 3 have had an opportunity to express before.

Haze has a variety of different scores, which isn't really unusual these days. All in all Reviews aren't my fort'e & I've generally learnt to realize they are ALWAYS, no matter how genuine some writers try to be, are persuaded by HYPE & MONEY. They had their minds made up even before they picked up the controller.

Heh.

Everybody happy now?

What really got me excited for this game was the four player co-op. I was looking forward to picking this game up, being one of the few to enjoy the demo, despite it's lack of polish. The reviews however changed my mind about picking it up.
Perhaps I'll rent it one weekend when my friends and I are bored out of our minds.

I dunno, I find this game to be average. What really downgraded the game for me was the displaced voice acting, just doesn't seem to fit the game (at least what was in the demo).

Then again, FPS are a hard thing to judge. COD4 is great fun, however if you look at it...outside of being able to shoot through walls, (which I'm sure has most likely been done in some obscure title) its just another FPS. However I can play the hell out of that game. Love it so much that I was super geeked about UT3 and when I got it, I played it like 4 times and returned it. Not because it was bad, just seemed like the fun was in COD

So in the end its all personal preference. What sucks to me, might be the almighty awesomesauce to you. Thank god for gamefly and other services such as them.

This game sucks.

What were all the delays for?

This is just good news for those buying a ps3 after june. You
know, I've gotten Lair for free when I bought mine last
november, and actually I've enjoyed the game.
