Haze scores low

Many of the team who developed Haze - the new first person shooter for PS3 - also worked on Goldeneye for the N64. But while the latter is widely regarded as a classic, it looks like Haze is anything but. Released last Friday Haze has been widely panned, with critics deriding the visuals, story and AI. Big budget titles rarely suffer such hard hitting reviews - especially shooters, that most conservative of genres. I've been on holiday since Weds and have only had time to play for a couple of hours but my initial impressions appear to have been backed up by the review scores. I'm still reserving judgement but things don't look good. And remember, Haze was a PS3 exclusive, a game expected to show off the power of Sony's console. Hmm. So, Haze then? Played it? Loving it? Or is it as disappointing as the reviews suggest?
