MIG-31

It's hard to think of a more hostile environment for a game's launch than the one Free Radical's Haze faces. On one hand, it's viewed as a flag-bearer for the PlayStation 3, a console whose vocal detractors aren't afraid to come out in force online to criticise any weakness. It's also got the misfortune of being billed (although not by its developers) as a Halo-killer (well, it's a first person shooter where some of the characters wear funny looking helmets, what did they expect?) and it's launching at a time when the world's FPS gamers are still in the midst of a torrid love affair with Call of Duty 4.

In the world of UK game development, Free Radical is probably one of the more closely scrutinised studios around. Both with and after Rare, the team has created a string of first-person shooters such as GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, and TimeSplitters. With Haze, the studio hopes to take this experience and marry it with a brand-new politically charged storyline. We recently had the chance to play a number of stages from the upcoming PS3-exclusive shooter in both single-player and four-player cooperative modes. From what we experienced, Haze blends a pretty unique storyline with some solid, enjoyable gameplay in the campaign. A highlight of Free Radical's works to date has always been engaging and compelling multiplayer, and Haze will support up to 24-player online play--the only problem is that the multiplayer content is still under embargo. Until then, let us present to you the campaign side of the game.

In the world of Haze, there are the haves, and the have nots. The haves are easily Mantel Corporation's soldiers, who frequently inject themselves with a strange pharmaceutical substance known as Nectar. But the have nots are the mysterious rebel faction known as the Promise Hand, a bunch of miscreants based in South America that want to create anarchy across the world. Lead by a mysterious figure known as Skin Coat (so named for the article of clothing he's cobbled together from his victims), no country is safe from the significant threat they pose to life.
