Haze ! i was hoping for a good coop shooter XD and it had really good trailers too damnit ! didn't play the full game but the demo sucked ass !

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.

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.
