Haze video review (PS3)
The PlayStation 3-exclusive Haze game is set in the year 2048 in a world where Governments have outsourced military operations to Private Military Corporations (PMC), you play a newly enlisted soldier seeking fulfillment and thrills by fighting for a good cause. As the leading PMC, Mantel Global Industries offers a high-tech arsenal of vehicles, deadly weaponry, and on top of that a performance enhancing bio-medical support known as Nectar. As a result, Mantel troopers are the most feared by terrorists, dictators, and the corporation’s political enemies. Your conflict begins in a war-torn country where you have been sent to fight a vicious rebel faction, the Promise Hand. Shortly after you’ll find out some things are amiss.
Should you fight the good fight with Mantel Corp? Find out in this Haze video review:
To quote the video review: “Despite bugs that seem to pop up around every corner, Haze isn’t an awful first-person shooter, it’s just not a very good one. The ham-handed storytelling, melodramatic script, and over-the-top voice acting conspire upfront to turn you off to the whole experience. But stick with it and despite the generic weapons the combat is primarily solid. And the different abilities of the rebels and troopers do add something to the game. If you can get friends together to battle through co-op, find a few favorite assault maps or ignore the unimpressive tech, you’ll be able to see something on the other side of the haze. We just can’t promise it will be something good.”
