"After five years of hype, speculation and delay, Ubisoft's Haze breaks cover - and despite being developed by Free Radical, the team behind the excellent TimeSplitters 2 on PS2 - it fails to better UT3, Resistance and CoD4. Haze looks poor, lacks set-pieces and feels like a novel idea that missed its window of opportunity, frayed by the requests of nervous Brand Managers and cruel demands of next-gen development.
Haze's fall is, in part, amplified by our heightened expectations, but by next-gen standards, it looks undeniable shabby. While we're impressed by the scale of the environments (and the absence of loading times), they're populated by uninspiring terrain and objects. The trees look like they're made from cardboard, the flat-textured interiors are poor and the pop-up that sees a soldier's armor disappear when you nudge the left stick toward or away from them is embarrassing. It's not even on par with Half-Life 2 from The Orange Box, and that was originally made in 2004. To our eyes, the game looked better at E3 over two years ago - but maybe that's the pace of change. Thankfully, Free Radical's shooting mechanics are as tight as ever - so Haze, disappointing or not, retains focus."

Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
Guns, drugs, and unnecessary war. Fun for the whole family.
What the hell!? This game is driving me nuts, WHICH IS IT!
I have played Orange box, and boy that was a turd. I will wait for Yahtzee review.
Better review. Still looking forward to playing this.
I thought the same thing.
I guess the crap reviews thought otherwise?
