Take a glimpse of the Hei$t in action!

Are you feeling lucky, punk? If you are, then you might just enjoy staring down the barrel of Hei$t for the PS3. This game is definitely a mixed bag... taking place in the mean streets of the 1960s, Hei$t focuses on larceny and features voice command controls to help you execute and control your team of criminals. It's like combining Starsky and Hutch with Thief with SOCOM. Not that that's a bad thing.
Can developer, Codemasters, pull it off? According to IGN, there are some reasons to be worried...
"Visually it's neat enough but nothing exceptional and the code we saw was a bit jerky. The order system needs to be tightened too and, without actually seeing the chase sequences in action, it's impossible to give an indication of whether they really will deliver the intense ride Codies is promising. And with just six months to go before the game is scheduled to come out, there really is a lot to do if Hei$t is going to meet our expectations."
We're big fans of innovation, so we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that Hei$t can overcome its challenges by the time it hits stores late this year.

Character models look pretty terrible, and the environments look even worse.

Sweet, they are still pumping out PS2 titles, haha. I agree with TB.

please don't promote this game, it's an embarrassment. it's multi-platform anyway.

At least the game falls into the online fanboy style using a "$" instead of an S.

It's not a good sign when something looks like a Playstation 2 RELEASE game, only in hi-res. I don't have hopes for this. If they prove me wrong, I'll be happy. I just don't expect it. It's possible, just not probable.
