Haze: PS3 Gaming at its Yellow-est

I stream all these old games at / oboeshoesgames
Haze is a game that includes an assault rifle, pistol, and submachine gun. You fight red militia guy and yellow robot guy. There is a part in a helicopter and a part with a turret. Many characters talk for several minutes in unskippable cutscenes. The game also features driving sections and poorly implemented motion controls. If that was boring to read, imagine how fun the game is to play!

I think the game had some neat concepts. For example, they have names for every npc, even the garbage fodder ones.

But alas, this game wasn't handled by subtle, or good developers.

It's basically the failed version of Spec Ops: The Line, similar idea but Haze lacked the writing and design to make it work. Like Spec Ops: The Line worked because they managed to incorporate both gameplay and the general design of the game into the plot, with it being set in the destroyed ruins of a decadent metropolis where the catastrophe have made the underlying corruption come up to the surface.
