"Haze was touted as a great PS3 exclusive from a developer well versed in first-person shooter mechanics. While Free Radical does have a solid pedigree, Haze does not live up to the company's reputation thanks to a horrible plot, weak gameplay mechanics and visuals that are truly underwhelming. While playing with friends is enjoyable, not even those are enough to bring this lackluster title around."

Creative lead Derek Littlewood has confirmed that Haze does not run in high definition. Ubisoft has also revealed that Haze will require an installation of at least 4GB.
Haze Week begins at PS3 Attitude - check back every day for new Haze content, information and exclusives... plus details of our biggest competition yet!
Let's start the ball rolling with a few details you may have missed during the recent information storm surrounding Haze.
Free Radical may have produced a console FPS that you can’t compare to the usual suspects and has taken the time to refine Haze beyond expectations. This is the key to Haze: it’s not one-sided, but nor is it full of minor variants. You can either be a trooper or a rebel, and that choice dictates your and your team’s entire strategy. Either all-guns-blazing pumped-up-adrenaline shock and awe, or crafty, sneaky, improvisatory and environment-controlling tactics.
As Free Radical and Ubisoft gear up for the release of Haze, we discover the vagaries of life at the sharp end.
Haze seems like it’s been a long time coming, after a series of short delays, but it will finally see release in May. At a recent Ubisoft event we played a near-complete build and spoke to the project’s creative director, Derek Littlewood, about the practical side of finishing and launching a high-profile title.
Free Radical says "it's nice to be able to focus on making one thing great rather than spreading your efforts".
The decision to make upcoming FPS Haze a PS3 exclusive has enabled it to "maximises the potential of the PS3", according to developer Free Radical Design.
