LAIR is a great game! Despite bad reviews.

I took a chance today and bought it at Gamestop. I went home and played it for a few hours and WOW was I shocked how good this game is. I had no problems controlling the dragon with my six-axis. I did my turns with no trouble at all, but I can see where the trouble is with reviewers. They use it like they are controlling a plane. It's a dragon, you have to move it like you are on a real animal. Take it slow not constantly moving the six axis.

The graphics are amazing. The way how everything looks and feels is just so beautiful. The water doesn't look like crap as what the reviewers are saying. It actually looks very nice. The graphics on this game is top notch, however, there are are some slow downs here and there when there is too many things happening on the screen, but it is not something we can't handle. The story is very cool too. If you are into Lord of the Rings and such, you'll love this story. It is like being part of a Lord of the Ring world. The sounds is done very well also. If I was a reviewer, I would've gave this game an 8.5.

Anyways, I personally really like this game it was worth my $60. Don't call me a fanboy too because I have both consoles and I like the other system games also. I'm just putting out my honest thought of this game.

I asked this one guy on my friends list who had lair what he thought of the game; The guy liked it! Even more than warhawk!

So yeah, I'm getting the game and trying it out for myself...

I rented it today and I have to disagree. I played through the first three levels and so far it's horrible. Based on my experience so far I'd give it a 4.0 The graphics are very good despite the occasional slowdown and so is the sound despite the mediocre writing and voice acting. However the control immediately becomes a burden as soon as you're in tight quarters. Dueling with other dragons with the motion control is laggy and unresponsive and doing it with the fighting game style combat basically is just button mashing. There are more attack buttons than most fighting games. And finally for some reason it seems like there's a cutscene every three minutes, which breaks up the gameplay way too much. This game is really frustrating not only because of how bad it is but because I know how great Lair could've been. oh wellespoac

dude i totaly have to disagree with you! i actually rented out the game last night and the game is awesome, i dotn know were you see bad voice acting , its actually good, and the controler are the easy'es thing to do, because you cant handle the game doesnt mean the game is crap! this game was ment to be played relaxed not like if u were having a sesure, this game has a great mechanism, ok ill give you the fact that is not perfect but the actuall game is a well made game. who else agrees???

I really didn't have that problem. I think this is just not your type of game. It's cool tho.

espoac ur 'review' is the same exact thing the gamespot dude and gamespy guy talked about.

seroiusly its not a bad game, i'd say 8.2 is the right score.

if u cant control this game u shouldn't be playing video games cuz obviously u dont know how to learn.

LOL...this must be the "I TOOK A CHANCE ON LAIR DAY" because I picked it up myself. I like it, but the controls are a LITTLE frustrating but not as bad as the reviews say. I give it an 8.5.

i well say the voice acting wasnt amazing..the story coulda been longer imho as well

but to give it a 4? wow u must suck with motions i found the SixAxis pimpin...i swear to god it was so freakin easy after 5 mins and doing the tutorials.

id give it 8-8.5

Its fun trying to master each level and get thsoe gold medals, you really feel like a master of the game when you do it. I raise my controller to the video game gods each time i accomplish it.acidBURN1942

I agree with TC the game deserves more credit then it got.

The game is good I bought it 8/30 from gamestop. It is a fun game and playing it on 1080p its the best. The controls are not bad at all i got the hang of this game pretty quick. Overall it should be an 8.5 game from what the reviews have gave it...it would have been that but they had a hard time with the controls.

Peace

i think that on really big important hyped games (i.e. halo 3, bioshock, lair, killzone 2, stuff liek that) that 2 or more people should review the games and combine the reviews so that it has all opinions. but tehn again every site hated lair except play magazine.

no matter what tho, a 4.5 is not a fair score
