from watching the game being played im sorta let down, maybe my expectations were a lil too high for something that uses new technology and on a relatively new platform, but does any1 else feel the same way???

Personally I think it looks awful to play. Controls sound like a mess too.

The game's been getting lackluster reviews. Too bad, I have been awaiting this game for about a year:(

Dont worry about EGM, they complained that there was no radar and the Dragon wasnt realistic enough. Pretty stupid reasons to rate a game so low.

Sorry but unless you guys have played it, you have no clue how good the game is. A bad review from EGM shouldnt warrant tons and tons of posts about how Lair is a huge letdown. Lets play the game before we judge it.

From where other than Gamepro and EGM has it gotten mediocre reviews? EGM couldn't even stay consistent with what they were saying was bad about the game. People forget that it also got two 9s and a 9.5. When he was playing it on On The Spot he said he was in the beginning of the game, meaning he hasn't played it for very long. Jeff said the controls looked like nothing you couldn't get used too. One of the weird things he criticized was the collision detection. Obviously the dragon's wings are very wide so they'll easily collide with objects, so the game compensates by automatically performing an animation where the wing moves or if needed in more extreme cases your dragon may move slightly. That's actually IMO a really smart design choice. What else is wrong? People have been down on this game ever since the first screenshot. Just give it a chance.

I think that Lair probably got way too much hype and won't live up to the original lofty expectations. However, with the EGM review the game might become under-hyped. That being said I am definitely going to rent it before I buy it.

Just so you know that egm used the excuse that lair was looking like a lotr game to down a point on it... Wth is wrong with them? Lotr is great but I am not sure about lair. We have to wait till it gets more reviews on its officialy delayed release date...

Yeah lair is looking like a big let down to me.

Whn i first saw it i thought it looked good, but the more i see of it the more im starting to think its actually going to be medicore and not much fun to play.

First off the graphics are lovely but we know that means nothing if it aint got gameplay to match.

The controls look clumsy, action looks poor the dragons were being taken out by just bumping into them nd even then it didnt look like he actually hit the other dragon.

Enviroments look the same ive seen several previews on several different levels and all of them looked so simialr, open water and a brifge full of humans.

Im sure a demo was supposed to have been out by now but it seems somebody does not want us to try before we buy, lair went from a must buy to i may rent game.

Not to bothered i own both 360 and ps3 and theres a massive amount of games i want to buy so one less doesnt bother me and plus i was more excited for heavenly sword and uncharted.

Well, I just reserved my copy today at Gamestop, and I cannot wait to get this game. It was playing on a kiosk in the store, and it absolutely looks gorgeous. Some of the best, if not THE BEST graphics that I have seen on a console game this generation....no question about it.

I have been amped for this game ever since they announced it, and regardless of what it scores, I know that I am going to love this epic as hell, beautiful game. It would not be the first time that I disagreed with the "experts" either....I can tell you that much.

Yeah i agree but we not completly reviewing the game, we are posting our opinions on what we have seen so far.

EGM's review never put me off watching things like on the spot tonight put me off and now im thinking that egm maybe right and i will have to rent it to see for myself but im so sketchy about it from what ive seen and heard i dont think forking out £40 is worth it when theres plenty of other games i have tried which are playing very well like heavenly sword.

I'm not really looking forward to it, but I'm going to rent it to see how it is. Hopefully they release for a demo for it.

I expected much of this game and it seems that it doesn't provide much, other than the arcade gameplay style. I'll be renting it just to give it a try. One lesson was learnt with a PC game called Deus Ex. At launch and during the first year the sales were awful, the next year the game was considered Game of the year by many companies and was rated the 5th Best Game of all time according to PC Gamer... a lot of games out there are overrated, and a lot of them are underrated!

This was the first game I was thinking about when I bought my PS3, so I'm getting it regardless of what anybody says. I truly hope that people aren't liking the controls because they are just more accustomed to analog though.

I am cautiously optomistic about Lair. I can't wait to get it so i can review it for myself. Don't expect it to get a high score on GS. If you watched on the spot, they were already complaining about the controls. Expect no more than a 7.5-8.0 from them.

Depends...

If lemmings hate it then i will have to hate it too.

If lemmings are indifferent then well you know what i mean...i might be able to like it then...but I cant say for sure until others decide for me....i'll get back to you.
