might be old but this video shows that the new patch improves responsiveness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXhdraEvShk&NR=1

The new patch is a necessity.

I really think I will stop by on my way home today and pick this one up. If there is anyone out there (who has played it, not just flamed it) that could save me the bucks please speak up. Most gamer reviews (not the paid ones) are great. And now with better control it really sounds good. Thanks in advance.

I would like to see a side by side comparison of the controls now and prior to the update. I believe there has been some improvement but is it really that much better?

I wasa little scepticle about it improving the controls but I noticed a difference almost right away. Then I thought maybe I'm just getting better at the game so I messed around in the training area for a while. Bombing was much easier and I was able to keep it more steady. I also tried the 180 move like ten times back to back and it worked way better than before when it wouldn't respond or do the dash move instead.

So yes the controls were improved.

to be honest the gamespot lair reviewer mst have been a retard the player reviews are great. the gamespot reviewer probably could not tell his left from right and could not learn how to play lair. I trust the player reviews sometimes gamespot reviews are weird.

If the controls were tightened then I'll definitely be playing this game. It looks too intriguing not to at least try.

hey i played it its not bad its not too good either the controls where never bad its just the analogue stick would have worked much better. that said in my opinion the fights get repetitive the lock on is the worst feature and its hard to see things special with the colour pallet, its not very long either i would recommend renting it before buying it personally.

also i haven't notice any changes to the control since the 1.92 patch so if there was one it is probably minimal. i play right next to my ps3 too so maybe thats why im not noticing a difference since the rumor is its a bluetooth response time change not a change to the sixaxis, anyways thats my opinion hope it helps

Hey bud, Thanks for getting back to me. I dont have the option to rent which really sucks for me. No address means no options for me (noBlockbusters even close to where I am right now). I have never been so torn between getting a game or not. This could be a huge sleeper hit and it always sounded awesome but its very hard to look past the bad reviews. Grrrrrr. Guess I just see what I feel like at the end of the day. Thanks Again!

The controls are improved in my opinion. The update did something with speeding up BT transfer from controller to PS3 which helps.

sorry couldn't be more help but hey anytime im torn between getting a game or not i just wait for a price drop, on games that are poorly reviewed it usually happens alot quicker. i know my local fry's usually puts a game on sale if its poorly reviewed after a week. but i'd just go with your gut instinct at the end of the day then... good luck

..also there is an offical lair sticky for all discussion of the game

the patch did improve the controls, I can actually play the game now. The learning curve is harsh though, and there's a crapload of cutscenes. But all in all, it's rogue squadron with some new gameplay elements.

the controls got better AFTER the update. i'm sure it will be adressed by them soon. but the game didn't get a bad score JUST because of unresponsive controls.

The controls are much improved after the 1.92 update, I can pull off the 180 move everytime now as before the update I had to try it 10 times before pulling it off. The game is the first ps3 game which can be played via remote play with the psp and Sony has not advertised it at all, so I'm not surprised they haven't publicized the bluetooth improvement in the sixaxis controls for some ps3 games including lair, they also usually include many more updates in new firmware which are not included in the official changelog and users have found them out on their own, its kinda Sony's style to let their actions speak for them.
