Haven tells the tale of a young hero who embarks upon an epic journey to free his slaved people from a formidable and evil lord, Vetch. But crossing a few platforms, defeating a few foes, and searching for the occasional collectible wont take you to the end of your quest.

Haven is in fact, much more than a platform game. Thanks to the T-Total game engine, multiple game genres have been seamlessly integrated into one epic adventure. There's platforming, turret-based shooting, boat racing, land racing, arena combat, space exploration and even interplanetary dogfights.

To accommodate such a vast selection of game styles, the worlds themselves are significantly larger than those seen in rival adventure games. Designed by a team of accomplished world renowned artists, unique areas such as the Virescent Mines, Exarco Reservoir and Lord Vetch's Spaceship look gorgeous, and the PlayStation 2 does a fine job of putting it all together.

At face value, Haven looks like your average run-of-the-mill platform adventure, but the more you play, the more you'll become completely taken in by its remarkable gameplay and variety.
