DarkZero: Haze Review

DarkZero writes: "Video games, particularly shooters, have to open with a bang these days. It can be a man in a green suit shooting down from the sky, a dash through a sinking, swaying, tilting frigate, or the one free man's first person journey through a beautiful locale. In truth, there is no perfect formula, but when a company gets it right it shines through in the final product. Regardless of how close to real life the shooter is, and in spite of the themes it portrays it has to entertain from the very start, grab your attention, and make you want to play through the rest of the title. I guess you can figure out where this is heading by now…

Yes, Haze does indeed start at a snail's pace, showcasing its supposedly intricate story to viewers. Unfortunately, this showcase also boasts an introduction to the game's characters, characters that are arguably the most annoying in a FPS game ever. Not only are they cringeworthy, the story they partake in is portrayed in the most condescending nature possible, almost preaching to viewers with every cutscene that passes. What's more, the voice acting, animation and overall visual look of the game doesn't do much to impress either. All in all, the opening just leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and sets off a million and one alarm bells ringing in your head for what awaits over the next few hours."

little to impress me. I own the game the cutscenes are just fine. As for the graphics they are better then any of the graphics on the other fps released this year. That includes frontlines, blacksite, turok, conflict denied ops, turningpoint. In fact Haze is the best fps released on any console this year. Remember, I said this year. Name one other shooter that was released this year that was better, you can't. If everyone thinks haze sucks that bad, they should play some of the other ones listed above. You would be praising it.

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. 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 .

I personally don't like these games.

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.

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
