If you like Shooters than Haze is for you.I enjoyed the story line and the different weapons that were available.Vehicles were easy to use and you get some great jumps.It was also fun to shoot the Nectar tank and watch players O.D. pretty funny.My favorite level was on the land carrier.Graphics rocked sound was good too.I recommend this game.I would have liked more vehicle missions and the A.I.could have been a little better.

In a Haze of disappointment

Haze
For a game that took a long time to finally arrive, was promoted as a Halo-type game, and cost an arm and a leg to buy, Haze totally disappoints.
First off, I love first person shooters, but am not the best at them-they usually take me 4 to 5 times to finish compared to other players. I finished this game in about 6 hours in the single player campaign mode. I'm not a big fan of online play, but reviews of Haze's online modes lets me know I'm not missing anything. The single player campaign if you could call it that included about an hour or so of useless, crappy cutscenes that could easily have been cut out of the game to increase it's value-I kept uselessly trying to click through them(you can't) and ended up doing other things until they were done. Playing as a Mantel soldier with nectar is extremely brief and when the game set me up to play as a rebel, I thought that this all must have been part of the tutorial or something, because the first part lasted only as long as some game's tutorials or demos do. I just thought they wanted you to see how to play as the different characters before getting truly into the game. The stupid storyline is forced, inane, redundant, childlike, unnecessary, and just plain worthless, because the game is short short short-the result is characters(if you can call them that) form ideas too soon to make sense-they like you, they hate you and I just hate them all-there are really only 2 characters you talk to for more than 5 seconds. Some of the graphics were good, but the location is ridiculously stupid and uninspired. There's one cave area that looks like it was taken right from Oblivion-it was that familiar to me. Comparing it to Halo is sooo depressing, since Halo takes place in Space which immerses you in the futuristic feel, has many types of enemies(not just 2) that are truly interesting and creepy, allows you to drive/pilot different vehicles-not just a few of the same type, gives you choices for weapons, gets you involved in a story, and takes time to play out. Anyone who thinks this is just a wonderful game, has yet to play one or is just being protective of the PS3. I love my PS3, don't have an xbox, and I can't tell you the depth of my disappointment. Compare it to a game like Resident Evil 4 or God of War, games created for previous game systems and it doesn't even hold up. Drake's Fortune, which was somewhat short in and of itself, did the jungle better, did the graphics better, did the storyline better, did the cutscenes better. Did I say the game is short? Shame on you UBIsoft-how about a refund? I can't give this more than 1 star, because I wouldn't even suggest renting it. Such promise, such garbage.

Wow...

Wow...this game is missing something but I don't know what that is. Just like Army of Two, all the hype and then it came out average. Dont pay full price for this...ebay it. I know you want more of a review but there is nothing to give you. It's missing something!

Not Too Inspiring

First, I am not holding it against the game that it took me 20 minutes of downloading data and updates just to play this mediocre game. The cutscenes and dialog are truly painful, and w/out a way to skip past them, you must suffer or go make a sandwich. The controls are generally fine, but it feels like you are going thru the motions and just killing time; I didn't find anything technically wrong here, but it just seemed to have whatever "IT" is that makes a game an invigorating experience, and most of all fun. I would say personally this is one of Ubisoft's worst games. Not a bad rent if you want to check it out, though. I guess the biggest thing to me is that this game had some real potential, esp. they had put the time into it like the Rainbow Six games. But as it stands, I would rather play BLACK again.

Good Game

This game is comparable to Call of Duty 4. Very good. Highly recommend it.

To start with something nice, the game is fun. Unfortunately there are more negative aspects to the game that really bring it down.

First and foremost, the graphics are terrible. Not just that but they are inconsistant. Some textures will be pretty nice and others look like the developers just didn't care. The particle effects primarily in the smoke and fire are the worst I have seen in years. They are almost embarrassing.

The game isn't organized well, it seems to just shuffle you around from place to place without much of a purpose. Most of the time I spent either lost not knowing which path to take while hitting select regularly to remind myself of what I was doing.

The AI is awful. You can stand right next to enemies and they won't even see you.

Too easy. The Mantel soldiers are too easy to kill and at certain parts where you are told to hold off the Mantel "onslaught" turns into no more than shooting a couple guys. Some onslaught.

The weapons lack substance. I found myself using the Mantel and Promise Hand assault rifles most of the time. Certain areas are easier by using the rocket launcher but there never seems to be any reasoning with the placement or specific use of other weapons.

Last is the glitches. I have had lockups after check points and fellow Promise Hand soldiers firing at "invisible" enemy Mantel soldiers, hitting me and everyone else in the process.

They always say don't judge a book by its cover and this is one of those cases. The cover looks sweet. The game inside unfortunately is not.

For a PS3 Exclusive title, this game just does not deliver. Ubisoft and Free Radical should be embarrassed.

WOW, just look at the price drop that will clue you in on the game.

This game just came out with incredible hype and the price is already slashed in half. What does that tell you without reading a review?

The game is avg at best. It isn't as bad as Turok, but really is poorly done. Rental, or wait until it's $19.99. Maybe in a week, lol.

good but not amazing

I guess I was expecting a far cry type game that would be free roam style go were you want do what you want, this game is not that, there is like 2 paths you can choose from in the whole game! oh well, still a pretty fun shooter, big battles, lots of action, the vehicles aren't done very good, but good enough, your team mates actually seam smart! they get ion jeeps with you and get your back.

Halo killer? More like on par with Turok. (disappointing)

All show and no go. Hype, hype and more hype. The story is too short, the games message too clumsy and shallow, driving vehicles is kludgy and annoying. Oh yeah and you can finish the game in a strong evening of play. Maybe its supposed to be another generic multi- player game instead of actually having a decent story, maybe my expectations were too high. Anyway dont waste your money, wait until it starts showing up in the cheap bins. If you want multi-player get Unreal 3.
