I finished two missions so far, and it's the best game I've played on my PS3 so far.

If I would have just accepted the ridiculous reviews and not bought it, never would have been able to experience this awesome game.

I've played Resistance, NGS, Heavenly Sword, MotorStorm, Elder Scrolls 4, and Warhawk as well.

Heavenly Sword was also amazing, but we'll see if it's better than it once I finish it.

Thus far, the game is the best I've played.

The only thing I've seen extremely critisized about the game are it's controls.

The controls are awesome, it's the first game to really take advantage of the SIXAXIS and it's so fun and fresh.

I have no idea how everyone hates this game.

Im gonna come across as a ps3hater, but I love, I mean, LOOOOOOVE warhawk. I play it on my hallmates ps3 alot, and soon im gonna get one with warhawk, NGS, and resistance. But, LAIR was the worst, most horrible, albeit beautiful, mess I've ever played in my life. I was so frustrated, the missions were broken, and there were soo many glitches. It was a trainwreck, please stop defending it.

I'm not having trouble with the controls, they seem just fine.

Also, I'm not defending it, I'm saying that it's not the awful game that I've read about but something entirely different.

i have done that twice. but one of them was my fault as i didnt do the motion right.

i agree though, besides for some very minor control problems the game was fun, and beautiful to look at. well ok, the game was fun until i got frustrated at the bug part in the desert. my rental period was almost up anyway.

the game doesnt deserve the low scores sites like gamespot gave. it doesnt deserve a 9 either, but give it credit. it was very easy to control

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I haven't played Lair so I can't judge it, but the exclusives for the PS3 now are awesome, and I don't know if it looks better than those.

Yeah, I don't think 4.5 was a very justifiable score. Every game on the PS3 with the exception of Oblivion and NGS, has a score of 8.8 and lower (Resistance being highest). GameSpot just doesn't like any games published by Sony.

it seems that only the people who play the game for a few minutes and get frustrated cause they arent used to thecontrols hate on the game cause they are frustrated. most players who tried lair loved it and actually loved the controls. imo lair is one of the most underrated games ever, well at least the japanese reviewers, and most gamers got it right, lair is an awesome game and s truly stunning spectacle to see and hear.

Or maybe I just have a taste different to yours?

Just because one or two people say something is bad, doesn't mean everyone else will agree.

I rented it. It's definetly better than a 4.5...I think games that don't quite live up to their hype get rated lower than they really should be. For instance, Lair was hyped as like an 8.0/8.5 title, didn't quite live up too its hype so it got dramatically underrated, but in reality was more like a 7.0 title. I will be buying the game someday when I can get it for $20.

I bought Lair and also thought it was a great game. I didn't dislike anything about it. It's one of a kind on the PS3.

If you're near a rental store, then go for it.

I, personally, only buy games I know I'll keep and play more later on.

Lair is such a great game, even now I'm listening to the OST on it and a picture slide show is playing with it - I couldn't ask for more.

I agree Lairs controls are excellent , I have Lair, RFOM and motorstorm and I think that RFOM is my fav then lair then motor storm. Mainly because Im not done moving and my HD tv is stilla t my old house :( Ill be getting it by novembre :(

How far are you even? I herd the first few levels were quite easy and uncomplicated and the rest gets much more frustrating and thats where the bad scores come from.

also the lock on system, framerate problems, and the uninspired gameplay that copies stuff exactly from rogues squadron...

Nobody HATES the game.. they are just dissapointed that the game didn't become wht it ould have become.

No, you misread it.

He stated his opinion as if everyone plays games and therefore out of everyone in the world, 98.3% agrees with what he said.

I'm saying that not everyone in the world plays video games, a good fraction I'm sure does but he said 98.3% of the "population."

More like 98.3% of the US gaming population.

Play Magazine from the UK gave it a 9/10 and Japan's leading gaming magazine gave it a 34/40.

There's clearly a difference in taste.

Yes. That's why I say : In lair's case don't try to convince people to buy or not to buy! Let them decide for themselves

I've read all the arguments, and I've been putting off playing this game because of all the horrible reviews it's getting, but if it's enjoyable by some people I better try it because I don't wanna miss out on something amazing. I know that it's for sure the best looking PS3 game out yet, but now let's see how the game works.

I've read all the arguments, and I've been putting off playing this game because of all the horrible reviews it's getting, but if it's enjoyable by some people I better try it because I don't wanna miss out on something amazing. I know that it's for sure the best looking PS3 game out yet, but now let's see how the game works.jimboboklashaur

I assure you won't regret it.

Looks like I need to pick up "Lair".

The six-axis thing was a little wierd for me at first with "Heavenly Sword", but once I got the hang of it, it was a ton of fun.
