Well I am finally done with another review and its Haze! One of my most anticipated games of 2008. I finally get to play it and here is my review:

A game which was completely over-hyped and failed to achieve its standards.

The story takes place in the near future 2040, where a person named Shane Carpenter witnessed his mother die in a war. The odds are that Shane may not survive but he is saved by a non-government group called Mantel who has their own army. He is made a Mantel Soldier and they give him a drug called Nectar which improves awareness and damage. But the downfall of this drug is that if you use too much you will have a malfucntion and you will start shooting everywhere recklessly. When Shane and his partner get assaulted by the rebels called Promised Hand led by a man called Skincoat. Shane soon realizes that he is not fighting the good fight and Mantel lied abut their Nectar, so he changes sides and joins the Promised Hand.

You will not have the abilities of Nectar while your playing as a Promised Hand member but you can inject nectar into your grenades to throw at enemies.

The game's campaign has its merits and demerits. The good is that the action never stops and the sound of explosions and gun fire is very intense and improves the action and the weapons you use are very stable and easy to use. Demerits include poor A.I and unchallenging enemies.

The graphics are not that good nor bad, but occasionally the levels look spectacular. The sound is what keeps the action going on the most, and is probably the best aspect of the game.

There is online in Haze upto 16 players and is fun and enjoyable. The online may not be like Halo or Resistance but it is at least present as an option for online players.

Haze is an enjoyable shooter but was extrememly hyped and has its downfalls but they are equal to the experience of being drugged and undrugged.

If you like it or don't, please rate it.
