Haze 4 Player Co-op / Campaign Demo: *Salva Region*
It's finally time to feed your addiction…the playable demo for Haze has arrived. Take a Nectar-induced romp solo style, or with 3 of your friends in fierce co-op action through the Salva Region, a bright and high-octane environment, where explosions are bulbous and delightful, and deaths are fleeting and meaningless. It's the only place on earth where you can blow a stranger's head off with a jolly smile on your face. The green-orange vegetation teems with primary-colored, unthreatening wildlife for the marines to trample all over. The sunshine beats down in comforting waves as you merrily murder your fellow man. This world makes you feel confident. Artificially so, like some winsome dream.
