Free Radical: "Even GoldenEye got a 4/10"

The Haze review scores have been a bit of a mixed bag so far, with some painfully low scores being slapped on Ubi's shooter. But, in its defense, Free Radical says that "even GoldenEye got 4/10 when it first came out."

The lowest score dished out yet is a damming 4.5/10, which was surprising after the game scored well in Famitsu (34/40) and the Italian version of PlayStation Magazine(9/10). But Free Radical's Rob Yescombe has brushed it off.

"Haze has had mixed reviews, but even GoldenEye got a 4/10 when it first came out," he says, pointing to the N64 classic which several members of Free Radical worked on as former Rare employees.

"With a 9/10 in the Italian PSM, and an extremely positive review in Famitsu, we're looking forward to people playing Haze and making a judgment for themselves," added an optimistic Yescombe.
