They probably just don’t want to have to go the next 3 days with ‘Haze is a 4.5!’ all over the net.

I’m sure they’re just doing this so that any 7s and 8s it might get can push the metacritic score up a notch or two.

Ubisoft UK has finally worked out that the internet makes local embargoes rather pointless.

G1GAHURTZ: I don’t think there’s going to be many 8s for some reason. Still… even the worst of the rest of the reviews should be higher than 4.5!

I really think EG are going to absolutely slaughter it. I’m scared, in fact.

Dunno about EG, but I fear for the Edge score.

It’s not so much EG’s score, it’s the way they tell ‘em!

I still think it’ll get at least a 7 from EG.

Edge have been generally upbeat about Haze throughout it’s development. Obviously that can all change in a review of final code, but their preview was pretty much full of praise.

Has anyone else gone live with a review yet?

Looks like I was wrong… there’s been a bunch of 2/5 reviews show up to go with a couple of 6/10s.
