IGN rates Haze 4.5 out of 10

"A creative concept hampered by gimmicks, a weak story and poor AI, Haze is a disappointment from a developer well versed in shooter mechanics."

This was to be expected by many including myself. The demo on PSN was not good at all, I guess this review proves that Haze did not live up to the hype.

I had already decided it was a bargain bin game back in december, although i thought it would at least score a 7, freakin harsh.

Damn, I had really high expectations from this game... the previews and what not looked amazing. This really sucks for all the FPS fans out there... and I can't argue that it's an unfair review, this is by IGN not GS people, they know what they're doing :(

While I think Haze is rather mediocre in its design, a 4.5 seems a bit harsh compared to completely awful games like Turning Point and Hour of Victory, which scored higher than Haze on IGN.

Oh well. I'm still buying this game regardless. The demo was good imo and this game has intrigued me for quite awhile. There are plenty of games that I have enjoyed that received poor reviews. It's possible the reviewer was expecting something groundbreaking as well as the masses, therefore giving it a low score. Since it's FreeRadical, they are held to higher standards.

A 4.5 is score that is giving to broken, crappy games such as Turning Point or Conflict. HAZE is certainly not that.

When a game like Turning Point scores higher than a game like Haze, that tells you something right there. Seriously. That really brings IGN's credibility into question. Turning Point was aweful on so many ;eve;s, and I can tell just play having played the demo that Haze is a better game

BLAH! I can't believe this game got such a crappy score from IGN. Can't wait to pick it up still though. I think they may have been too harsh.

i didnt think much of the haze demo, but even i wouldn't consider giving it a 4.5, i expect maybe a 6-8 range depending on the story and delivery but wow ... that just seems a bit wrong, there must have been something that really pissed this guy off about the game.

Same here. Not a big surprise. Lair scored badly because of the six-axis controls although it's still an average game.

I will rent it. It may be a harsh score but there must be some serious problems with the game. I cannot believe Free Radical has put out such a low scoring game. I guess their days of glory with TimeSplitters series are over. If it is indeed as bad as the review makes it sound then some heads will roll at Free Radical and Ubisoft because it should have been cancelled a while back.

Oh well there is always: MGS4, Resistance2 and Socom Confrontation.

Same here, the score is insanely low yet the demo wasnt that bad, i'll wait for some more reviews, this one was actually pretty good, but the reviwer only really seemed to focus on the story (practicly all of page 1 and half of page 2) and gaves the impressions he's more disapointed the displeased.

haha wow that review made no sense. He complained about the SP the whole time. I mean he had a problem with the main character because he didnt feel "connected" to the main character because he seemed afraid. yeah, thats the reasons i buy video games for. To be connected to the main character.

maybe not, this might be one of those oddities (see Armored Core 4) that scores higher here than on IGN.
