Is the Gamestop Haze Promo guarantee still in effect for our Canadian friends?

Yep, according the EB canada site, the offer won't expire until 5/30(next friday).

I just find it funny if they took it down though. Because the promo on the site says "We're so confident that you will love this game, we're willing to give you a full in-store trade credit within one week of purchase". Considering how bad the bugs are that the reviews are pointing out, no one will love this game.

I am really disappointed with Free Radical. This game is being torn apart.

Me too. I love Free Radical, I can't believe they screwed up this badly.

I got this from Gamefly and I had to stop once they introduce flamethrowers in the single-player campaign, then throw you into a small room full of them. It's cool and all that you need to shake the controller to put out the flames, but when you're doing that constantly through a room, it's not very fun. That and the issue of teammates constantly dieing and having to take on groups of enemies you can't see without Nectar is another issue. It just seems like the game's made for co-op and not so much single-player. The game's not bad, but there's nothing really spectacular about the game that makes it stand out. Also, if I had no idea what's come out for the PS3 so far and that Haze just released, I'd have guessed that this was a launch title for the PS3. The visuals don't really seem to even be up to par with the PS3 games that came out six months ago, let alone with MGS4 on the horizon this year.

Is anybody that has game up for some Co-op?

Why's this game getting such terrible reviews? I've played the demo and watched GT Review so I don't really know 100%. But the game looks pretty decent. And the graphics in some parts are actually pretty good. And playing from both sides seems pretty neat.

And the demo seemed pretty solid, the shooting was pretty nice and the movement was fluid. I can tell the story and characters suck, but the game doesn't seem all the bad. Plus all the added modes ect. seem to make it a solid C or B.

So what is the biggest reason why this game is a 4/10 ect? I have to be missing something here.

Just because. This game is on par with the crappiness that was Perfect Dark Zero, they share a lot of the same faults.

I suspect Haze would have scored higher had it been released well before more recent FPS offerings. Probably earlier last year rather than early 2008.

It's fair to compare games of similar genres, but even then reviewers went a little too far in panning this game, I think. It's a 6 average whereas most places make it sound like it's utter crap dpwn in the 4 average.

It's definitely not worth $60 to me, but from what my other friends say, it's a blast in 4 player co-op, still fun to play the campaign in spurts, and the multiplayer works well. But, it should drop in price quickly, when it goes below CoD4's price it should be worth buying. Right now I'll rent it for co-op with friends.

I did not dig the demo at all. I did not see the point of the nectar. The enemies looked pretty boring, and the level was just average. I might rent the game to play co-op with a friend, but I can never see myself paying $60 for this.

Same here. I thought the demo was horrible. I think the demo came out at the same time Bourne came out and that one (to me) blew this one out of the water.

I just finished it tonight. It was short, and the level design is pretty bad, but all in all, I think it was easily worth the $8 i paid to rent it.

My biggest complaint was not knowing where I was supposed to go. Its bad when the frustration doesn't come from the gunfights, its falling off a cliff when the game points you in the wrong direction.

Free Radical can apparently only create games if motivated by humor....

I would love to see this much scoffed at flamethrower animation.

Second Sight is my favorite game on the original Xbox and it's not humorous.

Maybe they can only create good shooters that rely heavily on humor?

Did anyone purchase this with the price drop this week? I just bought it yesterday and was wondering if anyone would be interested in setting up a co-op session over the weekend. Thanks send me a PM if you are interested.

I'll be grabbing it sometime this week. Probably not today, but you never know.

Is it going to stay 39.99 for good or is it going back to 59.99 after this week?

It's on sale I think, so it will probably go back up. It's an Ubisoft game though, so you never know.

Also I went out to buy this yesterday and Best Buy, Circuit City, and Wal-Mart were all sold out. I guess they should have released this at $40 to begin with.

Just got back from holidays and had this game in mail from Goozex. It goes back to goozex in a week, so I am going to play it all week. I played a couple hours last night. Driving parts are terrible. Fighting feels generic. I don't have a problem with dialog like some people do. People talk over the top, because that is supposed to the nectar culture.

One thing that is really annoying, is once I am on fire, I can't "shake it out". I am nearly giving myself a concussion shaking the ing controller, and nothing happens except my health keeps draining. Not sure what the problem is there.

Having said that I think the co-op could be fun. If anyone want's to do some co-op this week, PM me, or add me (and mention haze in friend request).
