The game is super fun.
Online single player and split screen is awesome and the campaign mode is sick also.
The reviews on this game are really harsh, and it deserves better.
I'd give it at least a 7.5 to an 8
It is a good FPS game to tie us over until Resistance 2
Don't listen to the IGN review... try it yourself

The band involves should've been enough of a hint.

I had pre-ordered Haze on here with the Korn MP3. I was curious to see how Korn was sounding now since I hadn't listened to them since I was in high school. Upon hearing it, I wanted to claw my ears out because it sounded so godawful. That should've been an indication to what the game would be like, but I didn't think much of it.

Haze had a lot of potential: it had a nice little bit of hype around it and it had a promising premise. I finally got the game from the fine folks at Amazon and I tore into the package, popping the game into my PS3. The next day, I took it down to my local Gamestop and sold it for 20 bucks.

The game was far too easy and, while the Nectar addition was an interesting touch, it was merely another incredibly bland FPS. The game was entirely too easy and it didn't do nearly enough to keep my interest for more than a day. You might find a little enjoyment in this game if you like Halo (I personally do not), but other than that, I'd go ahead and skip over this title, or give it a rental if you're really THAT curious about the game.

bad storyline but great shooter!!!

After buying a new Sony Bravia 26" HDTV, I was looking for a new game for my PS3 to test out the power of my new TV. I'd seen quite afew ads for Haze in gaming magazines, and knew I wanted that new game to be Haze. Luckily, I found it on sale at Kmart for 39.99 and picked it up immediately.
Know that I've played all the way through the game, I can easily say it's the most entertaining game I own for the PS3! The graphics are good, the action is intense, and the story is phenomenal!

The year is 2048, and private armies for each country no longer exist, now all military action is handled through small freelance military corporations. You are newly appointed Sergeant Shane Carpenter, a soldier from one of the largest freelance military corporations, "MANTEL", on a mission is South America for "ethnic cleansing." A terrorist Dictator known as "Skin Coat" has been committing unspeakable crimes against humanity, flaying and skinning anyone who stands in his way, then turning their skins into coats, hence his name. Nothing more is known about Skin Coat, but he's built himself an army of his own, and it's up to you, (Shane Carpenter) and the rest of the MANTEL soldiers to eliminate this terrorist threat.
Skin Coat's army is impressive, but MANTEL soldiers are given a special performance-boosting drug called "Nectar." With Nectar at their disposal, MANTEL troopers can shot straighter, run faster, hear better, and see enemies with far greater clarity than any average soldier. With Nectar on your side, taking out Skin Coat and his army should be a piece of cake! But is their more to Nectar than meets the eye?
From there, many shocking twists & turns show you the truth about MANTEL, and make Sgt. Carpenter question, "Am I really doing the right thing here?" But I won't spoil any of that for you...

Like many great games these days, Haze tells a truly deep & immersive story that very well could've been turned into a novel rather than a video game, and like most great stories, Haze's has quite afew morals to it...
Haze's story is anti-war, anti-drug, and suggests that people should always question things and see the truth for themselves before believing everything they're told or hear on TV.
Once again, I won't spoil it for you, but Haze's story is intense, riveting, thought-provoking, and not to be missed!

PROS: Good graphics, intense action, and thought-provoking story!
The characters all have their own unique personalities and reasons for fighting.
Much like Halo, many of the fire fights can be fast-paced and very exciting!
Many clever twists throughout the story.
Great voice acting! (For principal characters)
Vivid visual effects, that look especially good on an HDTV!
Supports 720p High Definition transfer!
Highly realistic sound effects, voices, and explosions!

CONS: Some players will find Haze's selection of weapons somewhat limited... The weapons are limited to different variations of Hand Gun, Rifle, Shot Gun, Sniper Rifle, Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, Grenades, and Throwing Knives.
While the voice acting is for the most part great, some of the NPC's have poor, generic voices, complete with repetetive one-liners that can really get on your nerves.
Some of the character models look a little dated...
There are afew annoying in-game glitches. Doors won't open when they're supposed to, characters will appear out of thin air on screen when you enter a room sometimes, and on rare occasions you'll go through a check point and mysteriously fall through the ground beneath you to your death. Although these glitches can be remedied by restarting the game at the beginning of the chapter you're on, it's still annoying having to do so.

The Verdict: 4 out of 5 Stars! A great game for PS3, afew little glitches here & there, but with such an amazing story it's well worth playing. Hopefully they'll be coming out with Haze 2 very soon!

Game Informer Magazine wrote another one of their niche reviews on this game that blew all of it's faults way out of proportion and gave it a much lower score than it deserved, but much like the game's story suggests, you should see it for yourself first before you start believing what somebody else has to say about it.

IGN has no credibility!

I had pre-ordered this game and was nervous about my purchase after reading the IGN review. I will never trust one of thier reviews again. My friend and I played it co-op for a few hours and had a good time. The weapons are cool, the graphics are descent, and the whole nectar thing works really well. The opening cut scenes are a little drawn out but then the action begins and so does the fun. BUY THIS GAME...it's better than 90% of the junk out there(Wii owners).

Funner than they say

Ubisoft has lost a lot of points in my book for this. Lame graphics. Horrible dialog. lackluster action. Nothing good to report...

The game is great.

Haze is a good game for what it is, a FPS.

The graphics are good.

The controls are great but without a sprint option it may be a downer for some.

The story is funny sometimes and the action is good. Some of the characters might get annoying but they are ok.

IGN did give this game a harsh rating, you can not compare a game based on a demo and you can not take the word of someone else's opinion. I believe just give the game a rental and if you like it buy it.

I give the game a 4 out of 5.

Check it out, its worth it if you like FPS games.

Great game, but has some downfalls

The game reviews for this game say that it is horrible, but despite what reviewers said, I rushed to go get it, and I'm very glad that I did, this game is really good. The storyline is actually really good, and has a lot of twists to it. THe gameplay is good also. This game has split screen co-op AND multiplayer. The online multiplayer is really awesome, especially with all of the different abilities each side has. It's really fun. The graphics aren't exactly great, but they're alright. The A.I. is kinda dumb, but it's NOT that bad.
All in all, haze is a really good game with an intriguing storyline and good gameplay mechanics.

Not bad

Not, a bit confusing at times but is you like games like Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter then this game will do. Also I don't recommend playing it more than once by yourself...the online feature is fun though!
