The latest big title for the PS3, Haze has been highly anticipated by many as the game to bridge the PS3 gaming gap until Metal Gear Solid 4 drops in June. Sadly, according to IGN’s review of the game, the only thing Haze will do is make you want to jump off a bridge.
The review scores the game a paultry 4.5/10 and describes Haze as “a middling, generic first-person shooter with bland visuals, a weak plot and laughable characters”. Of the graphics IGN says, “Many of the environmental textures are generic and weak, and you'll frequently see seams or tearing constantly pop up within the game, which distracts from the action onscreen. The worst example of this has to be the visuals for the flamethrower, the Dragon de la Gente, which vomits a horrid cone of supposed flame that looks visually on par with what you'd find from the 386 PC days 15 years ago”.
It’s good to see developers harnessing the power of the Cell processor…ok, maybe not. With two of the PS3’s biggest guns, Little Big Planet and Killzone 2 being delayed, 2008 is starting to look a lot like 2007 – which is to say, not good.
Somehow the console continues to outsell the Xbox360 in most markets, which leaves me to wonder why? Is it selling purely on the strength of Blu-Ray? If you own a PS3, are you happy about it and why did you buy it? Comment and let us know.
