Review of Lair
Lair was one game that I was waiting to get my hands on. I however became disappointed when I did get my hands on it. This game has great visuals to see the least and even supports 7.1 HDMI sound.
Poor controls are all it takes to doom a rather well thought out game in the end, it has to be playable! There are lock-on system problems that have you going in for the kill with full lock-on just to realize that you missed a damn near perfect shot. Using the Sixaxis also does little help because sometimes I had clean shots only to have my dragon boost forward instead of looping back. The camera doesn’t play nice at times also. Not recommended unless you have a lot of patience and really want to see some nice graphics at 1080p.

Not a good game.
I bought this game at a convention quite a while ago. The way that the people where talking about it seemed like it was such a good game and was one of the best at the time. They where wrong.
The controls are horrible (Especially if you have tourrets), and it was NOTHING from what it seemed it would be. I played it for nearly an hour as well, and got close to beating it but I just put the controller down after a bit as it was just too bad for the controls.

I love games that are set in a mythical time set and mode and this game definitely kept my interest and the way the gameplay was set up, only added to the challenge and mad it more worth while playing for me. I think that anyone that has a slight fascination with dragons or anything of that nature would like to play this game and at least take a peek into it.

The deal with lair.
My problem with lair the first time i played really had nothing to do with the controls, i didnt mind them at all and i think the game looked great(to an extent). This game like many other PS3 exclusives is that it lacks a lot of details because of the lack of graphical power the RSX chip has but relies heavily on the Broadband Engines 8 Cell Processors. My problem is when you hit the ground, even with the new patch, you get frame rates that drop down to 25 even down in the teens in small spots, wish is horrid considering the PS3s supposed unlocked potential, this makes for a less than enjoyable experience. I love the fact that you can land on the ground, burn up, chew up and throw the puny little armored men, but it slows down and hesitates so much you just want to scream, via to many objects on the screen at once. I wish this was able to be fixed but since this is nearly a 3 year old game i doubt there is anything to help out this glitch. Btw the game does look good, but watch when you fly around how jagged, and sloppy the city details and the water look from above. 1080p anyone? You know what i mean.:) This game deserved it.

its a good game if you like flying around on a dragon breathing fire all day.
but if you dont or not sure you should rent it first other wise youl be unhappy
there is NO ground fighting so you should keep that in mind before renting/buying it
but its a good game to my friends co- workers and i recommend it to you

ever wanted to fly with a dragon? this is for you!
lair is a excellent playstation 3 exclusive!
as part of a "top Gun" like elite squadron of dragon riders, you get to ride your dragon through level after of level of flame scortching goodness.
the ps3's graphics are incredible..highly detailed and realistic. the Motion controls of the sixaxis controller takes a bit getting used to , but after that it feels second nature.
i love that you can shoot fireballs go toe to toe with other dragons..and lots more. if your on the fence about this title grab it. you'll be glad you did.
