Has any one on here actually played the retail version of Haze, I only ask because i don’t know about you guys but everything they reviewers have said, i have not seen in the game. They say the graphics are glichy….when….I have played through the entire game and at no time was this the case. They say the AI is horrible….ya ok maybe on easy mode. Play the game on the hardest difficulty and see the difference, the enemy attacks in groups, retreats hides and rushes, it’s always different. You can die 4 times and go through the same part of the game 4 times, and have 4 different scenarios. I am not the only one that has come to the same conclusion, everyone i personally know aggress that the reviews for this game are understated. And like they mentioned above, yes it got several bad reviews, but it also got several great reviews, this is the type of game that you need to try for yourself and make your own decision. YES it is no system seller and was overhyped, but it is by no means a bad game. It’s sad the reviewers urge people to no buy this game because it so horrible, when it’s all a matter of opinion. This is why i don’ t pay attention to them .

They gave Haze a 2 out of 5 on XPlay last night….this game looks horrible and they said the gameplay was equally as horrible…..they showed you shooting someone point blank and them not responding to you until you pass some sort of invisible line…..WTF???? I was actually kinda looking forward to it….not anymore….BOOO on Haze.

Go Marlins!!!!

Way to completely ignore the fact that while some scored it low an equal number have scored it high.

“Not to be classified under whining, but chiming in on this as a PC gamer…Resolution is everything”

Thats just about the dumbest thing I have read on here

GAMEPLAY is everything.

Not to be classified under whining, but chiming in on this as a PC gamer…Resolution is everything. If you can’t run at a higher resolution you need more GPU intensive things like Anti-Aliasing or outright trickery like burn out your retinas Bloom to hide the fact it’s lo-res and covered in jagged lines by making everything a blurry mess. If they can’t get it running at 720p on a controlled platform AND run smoothly, then they are trying to do too much with it…or the hardware just sucks. PC for life BTW.

obviously most of you children haven’t played an Atari. after that, playing super mario brothers was the best thing ever. be thankful for what you have instead of whining about the tiniest things, dammit. what a generation of wusses

Guess the powerful Cell isn’t as powerful as you thought.
Consoles will always suck.

Uhh… horrible reviews. Does it really suck that much? I always thought that it was going to be like 70 or something but…

Resolution doesn’t matter if it still looks good. If it doesn’t look good…. then something is wrong…

I cant say my hopes for this were very high because I dont like FPS’s on consoles but I’m definitely not getting it now.

I would respond to that but I dont really have a clue what you are talking about

I played the demo for Haze (and Turning Point). I have to say, I actually preferred Turning Point over Haze. Although it was fun to go online with Haze and then shoot people in the canister on their back so that they overdose.

I knew Haze wasn’t going to be a good game. I saw a video of the gameplay, and you can tell by the shooting mechanics and structure that it wasn’t going to be any fun… The video reminded me of Turning Point. Awesome idea, but it just isn’t fun when it plays as bad as it does.

But is the lack of 144 pixels really that much of a detriment on your gaming experience? In the case of CoD4, Halo 3 and GTA IV, I think the answer is a resounding “no.”

Isn’t the whole point of having a high def console about playing games in higher resolutions, with these console blockbusters lacking in that crucial area it doesn’t seem that these consoles can handle it, players might as well switch to the pc to get the best graphics and resolution.
