A mediocre genre-buster
In Haven, you travel to all sorts of places on land, sea, and sky. It's very good they give you the missions so you know what you are trying to do. I really liked most of the platform parts, like going into temples and riding the spinning fans. However, the yo-yo is hard to handle, and you end up hurting yourself if you don't throw it in the exact right direction. It's pretty hard to find all the feathers you have to collect too. This game is long, and that could be good or bad, depending on how much you enjoy it.
Haven is a game that brings many different genres into one game. There is platforming, racing, hang gliding, but most importantly shooting. So many shooting missions come up, which are difficult and confusing. Often you have to shoot many things at once, which is somewhat frustrating. There are too many levels where you fly around in your biplane, trying to find what to shoot; I don't like that. The graphics are some of the worst I've seen on PS2. Some parts are more fun than others, so I give Haven a mediocre score. I hope that my future game purchases will be better than this.
Not Great, but definitely entertaining
I've read many bad reviews for this game and either I like bad games or the other reviewers never really gave this game a chance. As a fan of platform games, I know what I like and don't like in a game, so I was a bit skeptical about 'Haven' trying to be several gametypes rolled into one.
The pace of the game was a little slow at the beginning and I'd have to agree with many others that the mag-ball (yo-yo) was quite cumbersome and difficult to control. I soon learned that with a little patience it was pretty simple and intuitive, although at times not always acurate. Many other complaints were that the game was just too difficult and I'd say that "yes" to a novice player it would be, but a seasoned gamer would say it is challenging but by no means difficult. I for one acutally prefer a game that is challenging, but of course that's one man's opinion.
The skinny on the game is that it has wonderful fantasy environments, nice gamelength (not too long, not too short), different and interesting game-play styles (driving, flying, platform jumping, arena battles, etc....), and a somewhat interesting story line. I think that at the budget price it's a solid buy and many (but definitely not all) people will find some enjoyment in playing this game. I know I did.
Unnecessarily Difficult in the Wrong Places
Oh what could have been! Haven could have been one of the truly great video games ever: great graphics, good story line, great variety of skills that it tests, many fun-filled hours. Sadly, the makers seem to have taken a perverse joy in making many of the tasks so needlessly long, tedious and darn near impossible, that the average gamer simply throws his/her hands up in despair. What's more, there are no cheats to speak of or any way of moving to a new mission if (when!)you encounter one of the maddeningly difficult tasks, that most will simply give up (if they haven't already smashed the disc to pieces). For example: the battle at sea leading to the Isle of Heroes. The final battle against the Pirate Galleon is beyond challenging, it reaches the point of absurdity. You'd have to be a gamer masochist to continue. You simply cannot win. So save your money, yes, even nine bucks, until these guys revise Haven and make it the game it could have been.
