 Well Rounded game May 22, 2008

First off I am going to say I have been anxiously waiting for the release of this game. I am a big COD4 fan. On the PS3, it sets the stage for all FPS games. Haze, is right up there. They both have their strengths. COD4 is an awesome game because it is very realistic with the missions, real weapons, & warfare. Haze's strength is that it is not as realistic, but more fun because of the science fiction aspect of it. The weapons that you use actually have the cartridge gauge on them which makes the weapons appear futuristic. Really cool... The reload time is good & realistic just like COD4. The load time for the shotgun for example is realistic on both games. The explosions are very rich in detail in Haze as you can actually see a lot of fire & smoke, & even when you are in Nectar mode you can see the shockwaves from grenade blasts. For some reason this really impressed me.. I guess it's the detail. The graphics in COD4 are sharper than Haze. To be honest I will be surprised to see any game that has equal sharpness in the graphics like COD4. I'm not sure but it appears like COD4 has 1080 resolution, but I could be wrong. Haze's graphics appear a little, well lets say Hazy LOL. But it's done well & it looks like the developer's did it intentionally as I have seen games with graphics that are so sharp until the game looks fake. Haze is perfect.. The animations are great. There is a lot of detail in the backgrounds. In the first level the butterfly animations are an added plus for detail. Like I said Haze is fun in the fact that it isn't as realistic as COD4. The premise of the performance drug Nectar is great & is written in good with the storyline. I say this because the soldiers for Mantel are no more that drug seeking killing machines. It is written well because they are supposed to be the good guys but in fact they are cocky arrogant drug addicts. During the game even when not in battle you can hear the sound of nectar being pumped into members of your team. When in nectar mode your character has superhuman reflexes & perception & strength. COD4 can't mess with that. Also, you get to use vehicles. It is very similar to Resistance Fall of Man in that aspect because some levels you drove tanks & jeeps which made that game really fun. I haven't had the game but a day, but I can see myself wanting to play over & over again because it's just plain fun... Buy this title, you wont regret it..

(I would have given this game a 4.25 or 4.5 stars if Amazon allowed it)
First off, let me state the ratings of the IGN review of this game:
Presentation: 4.5
Graphics: 4.0
Sound: 5.0
Gameplay: 4.5
Lasting Appeal: 4.5
Overall: 4.5
Now my response:
Are you kidding me?! IGN gave GTAIV a 10 in graphics, when I get pop-ins and texture tears occasionally (but I still love GTAIV), and a 4.5 to HAZE?! The gameplay is no where near a 4.5, it is more of a 9.0. This review lowered the credibility of IGN after I played HAZE.
That being said, HAZE is fantastic! The graphics are stunning, and the gameplay has well balanced mechanics in shooting, physics, and speed.
Now let me state my ratings for HAZE(in IGN's categories):
Presentation: 7. The storyline could have used a little more creativity,but was enough to keep me satisfied and interested.
Graphics: 8.5. Stunning environments, smooth framerate, and very nice explosions.
Sound: 8.0 Have to agree a little with IGN on this one. The dialogue could have used a little more development. On the other note, sound effects, such as gunfire, explosions, etc..., sounded just right.
Gameplay: 9.0. This is where the game shines. Gameplay is fantastic! The idea behind Nectar fit perfectly with the gameplay. This game has excellent FPS mechanics, and every FPS fan will enjoy the gameplay.
Lasting Appeal: 9.0. After the single player, its on to multiplayer! Multiplayer is another aspect of this game that shines. The Online-Coop is 100 times better than the demo, and regular multiplayer is so much fun as well.
Overall: 8.5 (which is equivalent to 4.25 stars on Amazon)
If you played the demo, and the actual game, you will notice that there is a HUGE difference. The actual game is way better than the demo by a wide margin.
Final words: Don't judge this game based on online reviews such as IGN, Gamespot, Amazon reviews (including mine), etc.... Just go out and buy the game, and see for yourself. If you like it, keep it, and if you don't, sell it at Gamestop, GameCrazy, ebay, or even Amazon. Remember, a review is the opinion of one person.
