Haze is exclusive for the PS3. The words are ringing still.
First and foremost HAZE isn't as bad as what some people are saying. Sure the visuals leave much to be desired, the texturing seems somewhat unfinished and the control system is...well...terrible. but. What HAZE has in my eyes is very strong gameplay, which gives the player a feel that isn't quite HALO and not quite Call Of Duty, this being a good thing sets HAZE apart. Now im not saying Haze is better than these, quite the opposite, just that it offers something these don't, and im not talking about NECTAR!
THE STORY:I don't like it. There i said it. everything from the story line to the incredibly cheesy voice overs i found annoying. it was extremely repetitive with you just shooting hordes of the same enemys.
Multiplayer:HAZE supports 1-2 Local players and up to 16 through LAN or online, and that is precisely the reason why im keeping the game and growing fonder of it everyday. The multiplayer is rock solid, i haven't had a single problem with lag or with hosts ending the game early. The merit system works very well with you earning awards for things like: Most Kills, Most time spent in overdose etc..These sort of things add more to any multiplayer game and HAZE is no different. The matchmaking is fast and efficient, what more could you want?
I mentioned earlier on that the control system was terrible, well this wasn't actually realized by myself until i played a 16 player Team Deathmatch. See the problem is when you getting seven shades of *Nectar* knocked out of you, because of the speed of the game you panic therefore you keep zooming in and out with the the R3 button. The whole system doesn't work for example R1 is fire and R3 is zoom with L1 being grenade??? that doesn't make sense to me at all. Also i think that the whole game felt weird on the PS3, now im a big fan of the dualshock but this time however i kept thinking i wonder what it would be like to use a 360 controller because for some reason, maybe the game would just feel right.
All that aside i think HAZE is a good game, not a bad or brilliant game, its a good game.
The multiplayer has alot of lifespan and is tremendous fun.
The story in my eyes was pointless.
If you are not on the playstation network, you may want to skip this exclusive.
