the best part about Haze will always be that crazy interview for russian magazine called Igromania, sadly cant find it on youtube, but it was on dvd disk that comes with the magazine there was one of the devs who was drunk or just high, idk what exactly it was but he was so so extremely emotional and crazy about this game, something like Dicaprio from Wolf of wall street inspirational speech level he even throw his cocktail at some poor people behind him just because he was making too many motions with his hands trying to explain how great this game will be and how it completely destroys halo, he even didnt noticed himself that he just throw away what was in his hands and continued like nothing happend it was just one of the most hillarious moments in videogames industry

Quite a good review. The only mistake I found that lot of game reviewers doing, is selecting difficulty which is quite easy for them, so they feel boring. "Pretending to be dead" works much better on hard difficulty, when you have split second to decide if you wanna to pretend and hope that your squad move enemy from you, or take your chances. Also fight with elite soldiers doesn't seems so hard, and spike difficulty not so steep at the end, because previous fights wasn't so easy. Server room fight is definitely the hardert. Also game glitched on me there and I didn't get checkpoint after I finally survived at the server room, so next few corridors I fought like an animal to not die and go back to server room fight again. I think at this moment Haze became the best console shooter I played for years. Anyway, thanks for review, I always like to compare my experience with someone else.

I wonder what more they'd have done with it, though think it probably would have just been a simple both sides bad narrative. Would have liked to see it become more than it did.

The hype for this game was insane. Like people were expecting this to raise the bar for FPS games, and to be PS3's best game.

I enjoyed Haze back in the day. I had played Halo 1 & 2 before it, so I knew Haze wasn't as good, but I really appreciated the new and clever ideas it brought. Well done for highlighting that. I pretty much enjoyed it, right up until that difficulty spike... hated that... but then the final level was good fun and rounded off the experience nicely. It’s actually quite a memorable game for me. I just wish they had time to polish off those hard edges.

Tbh, it wasn't a game for the campaign. The multiplayer was where it was at. Of course I could be nostalgia blinded as it was my very first multiplayer FPS, but every single map had a unique objective. Definitely not a cookie cutter experience.

When that Trophy sound was going off I thought HAZE doesn't have Trophies then realised it wasn't the game doing that :D + TimeSplitters1/2/3FP by FRD was AMAZING on the PS2 & this game was nothing like their normal games(& now I know why) :-/ Hopefully one day we will get a TimeSplitters Trilogy update on PlayStation :P (+ it's GOT TO HAVE the 4 player split-screen mode to because that was BRILLIANT especially in TS2) :P

Agreed. The team is back together and working on a new Timesplitters game right now :) Also really hoping for 4-player split-screen as that's what TS was all about for me

HAZE didn't have trophies, no. It's an edited sound effect in the video.

Ahh yes Haze. My favorite game that is objectively bad. If only things could have been different with the IP and Free Radical having other issues. Glad you took the time to play through it at least.

I was hardcore on PS3 and never once heard anyone utter Haze as a "Halo killer". I think someone was reading into troll forums too much for this to become a narrative at all.

I never played it but at least in my country the press hyped it up as a Halo killer.

Something to note the nectar and playdead mechanics worked in multi-player. Shooting somebody's nectar tank and watching them shotgun their teammate was very satisfying.

I actually really liked this game. Getting a free grenade each time you kill someone, which could be converted into a mine was fun. Playing dead was fun as well.

It's one of those games with some really great ideas, but unfortunately executed poorly. They spoiled the story in the trailers before it even came out, that was a big screw-up. The game had so much promise, probably why there was a decent amount of hype for it. I thought the first bit was decent, but too much was forgettable.

I worked at Game Stop at the time of this game's release. I remember all the hype following it and I also remember, that soon after the release of the game, the store ended up with a huge stock of used copies of the game.. 🤷♂Never did I play it and judging from this video I did not really miss out on anything. But that cover art though..😎

Frank Sinatra's "Balls in Yo Jaws" used to play at my uncle's house all the time when I was young! I remember him picking me up in his van after t-ball practice, it was cool because it always had candy! He always had a warm popsicle in his pants too, cream-filled I think? He used to compliment me on how good I could keep secrets. The song really takes me back to a better time!

I beat Haze in co-op back in the day as a rental. I'm sure if I spent $60 I'd have disliked it much more. But it's solidly OK. No worse than other average games from that time like Army of Two or Dark Sector.

@Nero The Chosen you are a spesh, so is your upvoter. Haze killed free radical, the death of FreeRad meant no more timesplitters, short form: Haze killed timesplitters. Also read my username, it’s clear I like the series.
