Why? WHY? WHY?!?
I have to admit, I was looking forward to Haze before it became a PS3-exclusive title (and, just so you know, I believe Sony got the exclusive rights to the game because they knew Killzone was going to be delayed - it'd make sense).
Everything seemed so awesome. The story, the design, the graphics and everything in between. It was developed by Free Radical - a company formed by some of the key people behind Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, not to mention the Timesplitters trilogy. How could something with this great foundation go so wrong?!
Quite easily, it appears, unfortunately.
Just for the record, I think I'll pick up this game after I give the demo a whirl. I enjoyed Grandia 2, Killzone, Shellshock 'nam, Gangs of London, The Getaway, GRAND THEFT AUTO 4 and a slew of other games that most reviewers didn't enjoy but which i had emmense pleasure in playing.
Keep it pants...
Err, real. Keep it real.
P.S. Points for whoever guesses where the title of this blog is from.

I doubt the game doesn't DESERVE the 4.5, but at least give us some good reasons!
Who knows. Maybe it's just one review. Pray that everyone else doesn't share the same view.
As for the song, It sounded fremilar but if yout gentleman who said it's suicide silence is right then I'm mistaken.
You got it...thank to google?

I still have hopes for the game. I really like everything about it, but I heard some of the dialogue in it and it is ATROCIOUS. And Korn having the song also helps ruin it for me - I hate Korn.

C'mon, you gotta admit, the whole Nectar thing seemed pretty awesome! And it was made by Free Radical!
I'd still like to try it though, if only to satisfy my curiosity over the scores.
If you want it get it, if you like it great, if not so be it.

I didn't really expect much from the game... it started out sounding cool, but as I heard more it sounded more pedestrian... but 4.5? that's bad.
But I'm pretty sure it's the first review out... maybe they had a buggy copy or something?
