don’t buy this game. you’ll get halfway through it, wonder why it’s getting such bad reviews then when it get’s a bit more difficult you’ll go crazy. as the game progresses the controls get more and more important. the high difficulty to perform necessary maneuvers kills it. it’s a beautiful looking and sounding game, it’s playability is horrendous after the first several levels.

Not a fan of reviews but had to speak up. I agree that the controls take some getting use to, but all in all, this is a fun game which is the bottom line. If you spend the time to get use the controller and controls you’ll find that you’ll get the hang of it and do quite well. Sure things could be a bit more responsive at times but the same gripes can be said of regular controllers on other games. Come on, how many times have you had a fit of anger with regular controllers during games such as Lost Planet or Resident Evil? Come on! I wanted you to fire to the right! Jesus!! So quit your belly aching and accept new technology to become better player. Everyone, just judge for yourself and rent it or try it at yours friends place.

This game has the absolute worst control system I’ve ever seen. It’s far too reliant on the sixaxis motion sensor and that means instead of actually controlling things, you must wildly fling the controller around in the HOPES that on screen items will come close to what you want.

Lair was supposed to be one of those PS3 exclusive games that made buying the expensive system seem like less of an expensive paperweight. Sadly though, the hyped and lauded Lair ends up being supremely disappointing thanks to some overly shoddy controls and shallow gameplay. The first thing you’ll notice when you fire up Lair are the amazing graphics and the almost cinematic camera view style as you pilot your dragon around, taking on everything in sight. However, what kills Lair is what could have made it all the more fun and enjoyable. The SixAxis controler, which was utilized so well in the similarly styled WarHawk, ruins the game. Making any kind of quick or tight turns is impossible to pull off, and considering there are plenty of narrow flying moments, this is inexcusable. Not to mention that the control scheme is also quite buggy and glitchy as well. This is particularly worth noting when it comes to targeting enemies, and the change-up’s during the unnecessary, overly dramatic, slow-motion technique that comes out of nowhere in battle is just annoying. The gameplay itself is disappointing as flying around and obliterating everything in sight gets old pretty quickly, and there’s little to no replay value once (if) you finish the game. It’s sad because the potential here was quite high, but alas, Lair is a sure-fire disappointment. All in all, Lair is one of the most disappointing, and frustrating, games out for the PS3 right now, and while it may be worth a look for some; in the end, the game is better off being left on the shelf.

Not only the fact of not having a way to calibrate the six axis controller you don’t even have the option to turn it off. Though the graffix’s are awesome the level of in enjoyment is that of the commercial for Halo III. yelling at the game for its complete lack of response. It is a easy game, childish and I expected so much more. even though I am excited for many of the up coming games this game made me want to PUCK for the dollar amount that Playstation asked for this long awaited BluRay spectical. That’s all it is. Buy it thought because this is what Playstation is using to stage it future souly on different options for people they believe can not find a use for more buttons. Thanks 273 words per minute with need of spell check. If I could tell Playstation my opinion it would be “like games before it, the six axis is cool as an option not the standard.” If you enjoyed the game blazing angels like I have, “A LOT OF FUN WITH THE SIX AX” easy gliding turns and even frustration. Compare that to riding a draqon bouncing all around when you lay back for a good gaming experience. Control is like getting a train off the tracks and expecting it to do something. Hear is to Playstation and their effort for realism “TURD” Let’s see them go with that for a standard.
