It was GTAIV for me. It wasn't a bad game by any means but it wasn't nearly what it was hyped to be either.
alone in the dark and the force unleashed are the only disappointing multiplat games i played, at least the force unleashed was fun for about 5 minutes, alone in the dark was painful from the start.

Haze isn't a multiplatform game. Out of the 3 multiplatform games I have for this generation (2 bought this year) Assasin's Creed is the biggest disapointment. Now, that doesn't mean I didn't get what I expected, I just don't play many multiplatform games. |
More of a personal call, but I have to agree it.
I blame myself for believing the pre-game hype, but it was a shame that a game that sounded like it would have been The Perfect Game for me turned out to be a complete and utter bore that I couldn't force myself to play through no matter how hard I tried to get into it.
Great historical backdrop for the plot (crusades), great middle eastern historically accurate cities, player character is a hashshashin with a free roam environment to explore, etc.
All great elements partly wrecked by the sci-fi themed "entire game is actually taking place in the mind of a descendent of the player character in a sterile lab." And the rest being wrecked by repetitive game play and some really questionable game mechanics (hiding behind strategically placed curtained booths and haystacks).
Not a bad game at all; just not what I had hoped (based on PR hype) and believed it would be.

I'm actually enjoying that game currently. I may even buy it again for PC when it comes out.
My opinion of the game may change depending on how the total experience pans out since I know the game is fairly short. If I find myself saying "That's it?!" when the credits roll, it may end up on my let down list for 2008.
It seems doubtful there will be another based on initial sales figures.

Exact the opposite here. Before the game came out I couldn't care less. My brother was always talking about it, but I thought the whole gameplay would suck.
Well now it's easily on of my top 5 games of this gen.

I'm not saying it is a bad game. It just happens the other multiplatform game I got this year was Okami, so one of them had to take the title.
I loved the game for the first 6 assasinations. I'm going to beat the entire game, but it could have used some more variaty in the tasks.
