Great graphics/sound

This game uses the sixaxis controller for all movement...but overall the game is really boring...Same type of missions over and over again...The only thing that makes this worthwhile is that the graphics and sound are absolutely amazing for one who has a 1080p TV and 7.1 surround sound...other than that...there are better games out there. If you like monotony then this game is for you....

I am not very good at this game but I love it! I do admit that the controls take quite a bit of time and effort to get used to but I find that is what makes the fun of playing it better. Who wants a game that you can master in a few hours then get bored with it. I cannot get enough of this game. I immerse myself into it and forget my troubles. BUY THIS GAME!!!

A disappointing game!!!!

Yeah i agree the graphics and the soundtrack are the big highlights of this game, but the controls are so bad that even after a couple of hours of playing the game, you still cant get the dragon to fly right, even if you know what you are doing!!!!

Overall I think it's an amazing game to play and the graphics are on point. The controls are difficult to get used to at first, but gets easier as the game progresses. I would not recommend this game for a young kid due to the graphic nature of the game and the confusing controls.

The game was ok, until i hooked it up to an HDTV. That made the difference. I recommend this game for all ages and if you like riding dragons, then this is the game for you.

Worth a rent

I agree with a previous review that there is way to many cut scenes, I would be getting into one of the battles and then comes another cutscene. The cutscenes before and after the actual mission look absolutely amazing though. Some people say that the missions are repetative, which they kind of are, but they do keep you interested in what is going on. Controls have also been debated about and once you get the hang of it, they arent so bad (especially with the help of the new firmware update, 1.92). All in all, it was a great idea but didnt completely impress or satisfy me the way I thought it would. Worth the rent though.

Kind of Repetitive

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is really quite a good game, but it has its flaws. First of all, it does get a bit repetitive some of the time. And also, the six-axes is not as good (to me at-least, others like it) as I could have hoped. But aside from those, the game is really quite fun and I would definatly recomend it for a person who really likes games with dragons and a "unique" fighting style such as is present in Lair. In conclusion, you should get this game, but don't expect it to be perfect. Also, it was kind of easy.

Graphics don´t make a game , this proves it

This game has some of the worst gameplay i have seen in the past 2 years , the controller setup is horrible and the game simply is not fun at all , the only reason why i give it 2 stars instead of 1 is because the graphics are very good , but a good game not only has graphics , it also need fun factor and that is what this game simply does not have .
I give this game a 4.5 in my book

Graphics: good, Controls: interesting. What detracts from the game. You only fly and its repetition is only surpassed by its repetition. Can't dismount and fight.... the depth of this game: shoot fire balls and shake your controller. If that's all you want to do with 60 bucks, look no further.

this was one of the most awesome game i have everplayed. the creators really used their imagination, from dragons to the different kinds of animals in the game. i admit, it was hard to get used to it at first bu after awhile it was so addicting. it was so exciting playing it. i couldn't wait until i got off work to play Lair. i will diffinitly recommed this game to everyone!!!

this should not be the first ps3 game you should buy but if you have a few others and have any experience with the sixaxis controls you should be just fine with this game. if your no good at the motion controls, rent it or skip it, but i actually liked using the sixaxis instead of the analog stick... it was refreshing. i also have a wii so i may have been used to it already.

Once in a while a game is considered awesome; otherwise there are tons of just good games. This game is definitely awesome. The control is good, the quality is great and game play is very compelling. You'll find it very hard to even take breaks from this game.

Good Game

Good game, very original. I enjoyed playing it very much. The only drawback is that the dragon is controlled by the motion of your controller. This can be awkward at times. And if you turn the controller too far one way or the other the dragon stops turning. But overall its a very good game.

if you've heard bad things about the motion controls, give the game a chance - they are much better than the reviews have said.

I was truly disappointed by this game. I preordered Lair based on the hype surrounding it and the prospect of flying a fire-breathing, enemy-chomping, carnage-laying dragon! It's an OK game, but I was just very dissapointed cuz I was expecting a better gameplay experience. Makes me mad that they kept delaying the release, only to come out with a game that I would not have bought if I'd known what it would turn out like. Oh well, such is life.

Graphics are awesome, best I have seen for any system. Sound is awesome, gameplay is awesome. Controls take sometime to get use to. There are training levels so you can get use to the controls. Overall this game is one of the best for ps3. If you don't like the sirxais control you better get use to it, because motion controls are going to be the future of video games
