Haze Week; 5 things you may not know about Haze
Haze Week begins at PS3 Attitude - check back every day for new Haze content, information and exclusives... plus details of our biggest competition yet!
Let's start the ball rolling with a few details you may have missed during the recent information storm surrounding Haze.
1. Multiplayer has 8 modes, not 3
Whilst you may be excused for thinking that Haze only has three multiplayer game types - Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Team Assault - the reality is that Team Assault has a lot more to offer than it seems.
Each of the six maps has a different Team Assault mode, changing the multiplayer gameplay depending on which landscape you choose to fight in.
2. The script brings people out of retirement
Carlos Riera, a Spanish star who plays Gabriel "Skin Coat" Merino (the leader of the rebels), apparently came out of retirement to do the voice acting after having read the script. Of course, we gleaned this fact from scriptwriter, Rob Yescombe...
The voice talent also includes Rupert Evans, who has been seen in films such as Hellboy and on the sci-fi TV series Lexx.
3. Spanish people love Haze
The acting for the various rebel soldiers was performed by a group of Mexican actors who happened to be in the UK performing Shakespeare at the time when Free Radical were recording the voices.
Consequently, the accents and inflections are spot on, and that's one of the reasons the Spanish press seem to have really latched on to Haze.
4. The single-player campaign will take you about 8-10 hours to complete
Like that other great FPS title, CoD4,the single-player campaign could be seen as a relatively short experience.
However, just like that other FPS, it is an emotional ride with a great story and a real sense of involvement. The main difference between the two titles is the switch from one distinct style of fighting (when playing as the dosed-up Troopers) to another (the nimble and resourceful rebels).
Of course, this is only in Normal difficulty. Hard is particularly challenging and completing the game in that mode unlocks Extra Hard, in which you die... a lot!
5. Separated at birth
"Skin Coat" looks remarkably like one of the Directors of Free Radical, David Doak. Take a look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

I think you may have mislabeled the David Doak and Skin Coat Pics. Also, it's difficult to compare a Real life pic to an CG pic, but I get the point. They look alike.
They should have called this "5 things you may not know about Haze... That still will not convince you to buy it after the sucky demo."
Quite funny and interesting, im def buying it, the demo was pretty good, above average for an FPS imo
