Haven: Call of the King for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

This is not one of those games that jumps out at you, but you may find that if you give it a chance, you may be surprised just how enjoyable it actually is. I found myself subconsciously drawing parallels with the "Ratchet and Clank" and "Jak and Daxter" series while traversing through the game. This is definitely your standard action/adventure platformer common to the first gen platformers issued around the launch of the ps2, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. You find plenty of variety throughout the game a la Ratchet and Clank 2, and you can't help but beg for more. That said, you may find it shocking to admit that the game is undeniably engrossing. Give it a shot...you'll see!

I should start off by saying that I could not waste my time any longer to even get past the 2nd very loooonnnggg dialog sequence with bad acting and very poor graphics, so perhaps it gets better after the horribly long opening. This game is soo disappointing. I thought that perhaps it might have Jak & Daxter feel, But I was totally wrong. This game should never have been made.

The blocky graphics are reminiscent of the good old Super Nintendo. Although unlike the SN games I remember this one woefully lacks any inking of a good story that could capture you in the beginning. I would have given a better score if you told me that a 10 year old made it at game design camp.
