i rented lair last night and

I'm just a few minutes into the game. I'm still trying to get the controls down before I go any further in the game. I'm having trouble doing the 360 loop. Controls are slightly difficult, but I guess I just need more time.feryl06

I thought this game was great since I first saw it. But then the reviews came out and then I kind of changed my mind on getting it. But hearing from people who actually play games for fun and not for a living enjoy the game and like it. Iam going back to getting it soon. Should I buy or rent? That is the question.gamedudeorino

I took the jump two days ago and purchased the game and just like you I was very impressed with the game.

I think the reviewers are expecting too much anymore. It seems as though they not only believe and create the hype-train that follows certain games but they do their best to destroy it as well...

They get so caught up on small issues like the seemingly "complex controls" and ignore the fact that they are not that difficult to get used to.

Its a great game and I think most gamers that are on the fence about this game should take the leap and atleast rent it.

To jump to another dragon to do the special killing move, you need to fill the rage meter, then aim and press triangle when prompted.

Some tips regarding the controls:

1- Dont force the move, do it gently, if you force it, the recoil will create a different move, especially in the 360 turn.

2- Do the tutorial flight lessons, they will give you a better understanding of it.

3- The controls are extremely responsive to your moves, once you learn them, they will be like a part of yourself.

4- Again, there is no need to do an exagerated move with your arms to move the dragon. Its all in the hands, the arms are not necessary, maybe for some of the little games.

Tried it.

Lock-on system...ugh.

yeah i loved it to i don't see why people hated the controles so much.

Yeah i don't remember i think you lock on to them then press triangle or something like that, a little icon should pop up and tell you when you can perform a take down

I have LAIR and it is a great game in many ways, and the patch for the controls makes this game so much more enjoyable when you use the analog sticks instead of just the sixaxis.

to do the 180 turn point the top of the controller down then rise up. Don't just hold the controller straight then lift up, that does not work.
