Lair - PlayStation 3

Great graphics, great sound, solid story line, solid game. The controls of this game take time to become accustomed too, so be patient. I found myself trying to use the analog stick/s several times. I would recommend not only playing through all of the training ground options, but also replaying one or two of the first few mission several times (training and battle missions differ greatly). Once you get the feel for the Sixaxis the game is increasingly enjoyable.

So I bought this game yesterday. And IGN is extremely exaggerating. The one main thing I can find a an issue with control wise is simply the 180 degree turn. It works about 75% of the time. Other then that the flying is fine... its not spectacular, but it fine. The lock on system... works about 99% of the time or more for me. Maybe the people at IGN were trying to lock on from like a mile away, where at that point, any enemy object on your screen is a potential lock point. Seriously, it works fine. The story is pretty good, the acting and music are fantastic. I am about 3/4 of the way through the game and I have enjoyed it alot actually. The visuals are breath taking and sound is delivered in 7.1 DD or downscaled 5.1 DD for most systems. If I had to grade it on what I have played so far... (1 to 10 scale) Graphics: 10 Story: 9 Gameplay: 7 Music: 10 Replay: 7 Overall: 7.5 - 8.0 roughly (not AVG) The game is good... much better then a 4.9/10 or 5.1/10 given to it by so called "Game Experts". If you have a PS3, buy it or rent it, I am glad I did. Seriously, there are games that have had much worse control issues then this game.

This is one of the best games I've played on any console! The graphics are astounding even on a standard defenition TV, the music is worthy of being played in the world's best symphony halls and the story is deep and compelling (and draws parallels to Europe during the Black Plauge). Gameplay is fast and intense. You quickly lose track of time as you soar over amazingly detailed battlefields and the action does not let up. The use of the SIXAXIS controller does present a learning curve. But after a few minutes of playing I found the control setup made perfect sense and in a short while becomes intuitive. I am not using the 1.92 system, but after a few minutes of gameplay I was able to make my dragon do what I wanted when I wanted with few if any problems. Great graphics, lots of action, outstanding music, and an innovative control set-up. A brilliant game!

I like the game its something different and fresh; however, the controls are pretty difficult, yet it takes some practice of getting use to. The only con about the game is when locking on to an enemy and its usually uncontrollable because it doesn't lock on the enemy you wish to attack. Other than saying that, the graphics are realistic and awesome, great background music, very good audio and storyline. Its one of those great games that i would recommend.

This game got a bad rap from the get go.....Game Spot shot it down right out the gate. I found it a good game Stunning graphics and sound. The sixaxus was a bit slow to respond but Is going to be the future of gaming. Game Spot is Pro Xbox and sixaxus is something it doesn't have. For a first go at it the game was good and follows a story line well. I found it challenging and fun so it well worth the bucks.

It received a lot of hype prior to its debut, and it certainly looked impressive from the trailers, but the game itself fails to deliver in almost every regard. I wanted to like this game. I wanted to relive the days I spent playing 'Panzer Dragoon' on my Saturn, but 'Lair' is no "Panzer Dragoon.' Slow, unforgiving controls, boring level design, and far, FAR too many cut scenes take away any joy I could've had playing this game. On a positive note, the graphics are quite impressive, as is the animation for the dragons in combat. The music is well composed, and fits the tone of the battles very well. It's just that other part - the game itself - that fails to impress or entertain.

Ok...LAIR isn't the best game out there but it is a pretty decent one. Graphics are really nice, believe me, music is outstanding, it's probably the best feature of the game besides Dragons!! And Cinematics look really cool and the voice acting is pretty good as well. Now...you have no choice on the controls...it's either using the SIXAXIS or...using it....and that gives the game an add on in difficulty, si it's gonna be quite hard to be flying on your dragon with the SIXAXIS. People say there's gonna be an update for the game so that you can get the option of changing your control configuration to Analog...but we'll have to wait and see to believe.... Overall, nice game, entertaining and fun, but it may get boring sometimes cause there are just too many cut scenes during gameplay, but other than that, if you are willing to give the SIXAXIS a shot, you'll find this game quite good.

This is a game that you will either love or hate entirely. Personally, I thought this was an awesome game. The only issue I have with it was that it never did a 180 degree turn when I wanted it to (so I had to fly in a circle haha). Other than that, I rather enjoyed it and loved the story plot. The thing I don't understand is why are people complaining that you can only fly and nothing else-the game was meant to just fly on a dragon that's what you are critiquing. If you don't like to play flying games, then you definitely won't like this game so don't even bother buying it.
