a 1-page rant about story and character development...hmm...this reviewer really, almost threw the whole weight of his opinion over that "aspect". He didn't describe multiplayer enough, number of maps? modes? gameplay? I guess the underwhelming graphics and poor plot frustrated him in a way he didn't give MP a chance. A good reviewer should describe everything the whole game has to offer, he should't assume the readers will find out somewhere else, or I just might not waste my time going into his website to read reviews. How was the framerate? Does the game at least flow well without slowdown? Can you play the vehicles in MP? are there objectives? Why is the gameplay so bad? He blames the "nectar gimmick" but also says you only have it for a couple of stages, so was that so bad to ruin the whole game?

sigh...for the looks of it, a rental at best. But still think the reviewer just hated the plot and graphics and then went to write his review in a blind-fury rage.

good points/questions. You could be right.

@magnifico,,,I just noticed the same question: why isn't there any mention of MP modes and co-op stuff (in details)

I had a bad feeling about this review when it didn't show up over the weekend or yesterday. I guess my fears were well founded.

I am still renting it though to see if it is anygood at all before i buy it.

Hmmm... I ignored the bad demo, because the dev is Free Radical... But this does it for me... No Haze for me, althoug Im going to have to check the Metacritic score occasionaly.

I remember that "FLOP or NOT" thread, I said this was gonna be a below average game with poor sales. It's nice when you are right

Many FPS single-player campaigns are average at best. Without MP, a game like COD4 gets an 8, and Halo 3 gets a 7. How can you review a FPS these days without exhaustively playing its MP and describe everything about it? People don't buy these games to delve deep into the plot and characters, they buy them to kill the shit out of each other!

Ouch, what a terrible score. Looks like I'll save $8 by not renting this game.

So remember when Haze got delayed last November, a month before release when print ads were already being ran, and I expressed serious concerns and people shoved the famous Miyamoto quote about delayed games in my face?

Yeah, I'm thinking I might have been right.
