What a Disappointment

I was so excited to play Haze before it came out, but it felt so last gen and graphically, it was terrible. The game's concept is that Nector is a drug used for combat, but at the same time, it is turning soldiers into mindless killers. The concept sounds interesting, but once you hear the very laughable dialog, you start to wonder, "were they serious?" The gameplay also makes you wonder if they were serious because the guns all feel the same and they all kind of look the same, and worse of all, the fire effects on the flamethrower made me cry cause they are so bad. Graphically, this is a playstation 2 game with higher resolution, the textures are sparse and the lighting effects do nothing grand; I've never played a next-gen game before that made me think if they really enhanced the graphics from last gen. So, in all, what a disappointment, a really ambitious first-person shooter on a system that needed one and it failed to deliver; a real shame. Well, we can hope and pray for Killzone 2 being good, I know Resistance 2 looks great, but we need more. Thanks for reading.
