LAIR is awesome!

I love it! the fighting is intense, and I picked up teh controls so fast. the IGN review made me think that the guy just didnt know how to play, and guess wha tI was right. You do not have to make wide sweeping turns to return to battle, no thats only if you are not good at the game. But in the very first tutorial it tells you that you can make a quick 180 degree turn by lifting the sixaxis straight up or "pulling on the reigns of the draogn mount" as i say. Teh music is perfect, the stroy is very interesting. The fifth level I got silver medal on first try. And i can't wait to get back into the game.

the graphics are really amazing one the fights get going on and you actually do the combos that kill dragons faster and let you go in for insane fights and dragons biting. If you slow down using the L2/R2 buttons you can turn, and don't forgot to hover by pressing both L2 + R2 they don't explain that very well, and when they do explain things its usually right in the thick of things so READ the manual.

Also I beleive LAIR by forcing me to use SIXaxis will make me a better WARHAWK player :P but since I popped LAIR in I havent even thought of Warhawk. Factor 5 I love you.

EDIT: oh forgot to mention Full 1080p and Uncompressd 7.1 Audio :P

I just did the first boss fight and guess what?!?! it was slightly fustrating but I still beat it with 1 life to spare and got a silver medal. So guess what new in the gaming world a boss fight is hard and sometimes fustrating booooo hooo :P

EDIT: oh wait forgot to mention that the boss fight was much more KICK ASS than it was fustrating. The monster you fight is huge and scary.

GENERAL TIP: when the game says dodge left OR right with the sixaxis by moving the controller left or right, just shake the controller left or right rapidly and you'll dodge. You might be tempted to just dodge to the left, or just to the right since the message says Left OR Right, but it will not detect it that well. ALTHOUGH when the game says DODGE LEFT then dodge left only, or DODGE RIGHT than dodge only right,

It think i get it, bc good bosses are hard and super frustrating. good deal

EBGames decided to release it early. You can pick it up right now if they have any left.

I really like the game. Yeah the controls are a little frustrating sometimes. But it is because I'm getting all worked up and crazy during a fight. And my general lack of experience using the sixaxis. Go through the tutorials. Try them a couple times, to get used to the flight movements.

As Mentioned in other posts, the instructions that flash on the screen sometimes come and go way too fast, so you might not know what to do. But after some practice and training it's pretty intuative.

Graphics and music are great. I've not seen too much slow down, at least not enough to cause me any problems..

Who cares what the game sites review it as. Just read the readers reviews. I've read 2 or 3 bad site reviews for lair. But I've read 10 or more reader reviews and not one is a bad review..

Thanks

Mike

"EDIT: oh wait forgot to mention that the boss fight was much more KICK ASS than it was fustrating. The monster you fight is huge and scary. "

The fights are along the lines of God of War Epic style, and you always get to do cool context sensitive takedowns during all battles.

I just think the reviewers are too picky when it comes to games. If it deals with the sixaxis, most reviewers will hate the game and know the score down a bit, especially if they are forced to use the sixaxis. Now IGN in my opinion are not use to the motion sensing in the PS3 controller and expect it to be somewhat like the wii, their expectations are WAY too high.

I think Gamespot reviewers may give this game at least a 7 or 8 just because they've played/reviewed games already that force you to play with the sixaxis.I know Gamespot may have not liked Rub-a-dub but I kinda agree that the game felt more like a techncal demo than a full fledge game, sensing was very touchy but I did get all gold medals? Gamespot did like Flow, which FORCED you to use the motion sensing in the game. They said the controls were hard at first but they got use to it fairly quickly.

Because IGN really doesn't like the motion sensing of the PS3, I expect Gamespot to give Lair a reasonable rating. A 7 is a minimum but I don't think it deserves a 9, I'd be surprised if Gamespot did give this game a 9 though! Anyway, after reading multiple thread from multiple forum (not just this one), it seems the IGN reviewers were proven to be dumb as rocks when it comes to the Sixaxis motion sensing. People are grasping the controls quite quickly and even though they still would prefer the analogs, people feel that the game just feels right controling the dragon through motion sensing. As with everything new, motion sensing was hard at first for motion sensing novices but after a bit of practice and traingin time with Lair (or Flow), controls felt fine and easy to use.

I am one of the few that highly supports the motion sensing controls and I'm glad people have proven that with a little bit of time, become accustomed to the Sixaxis, some are even pro's at it (like me)! Again, this game may not be for everyone and alot of people will still not buy this game due to IGN's review because they are easily influenced by others, I still recommend people to at least try it. The game is great and other gamers agree, I'll probably from now on trust user reviews over main websites and magazine reviews because reviewers now a days are not very happy to please anymore, expect too much, and do not embrace innovation/change...some gamers are the same way which is sad. Thanks goes out to the people who didn't care about the damn reviews of this game and still bought it and proved it is really a better game than what people were saying. Keep posting and making threads that show that this game is worth trying out and for a few other like me, to purchase :)!

I guess maybe I won't cancel my preorder and will pick it up tmrw just to give it a chance and if not sell it back for GRAW2. I honestly like the sixaxis in games like motorstorm and warhawk so I doubt that I will hate it in Lair. Thanks guys, I often trust you more than the "experts".jyoung312

i got it yesterday and so far it has been really good. The controls take some getting used to but once you do the games starts to take off....i was really impressed when i did one of the sick kills when you jump off your dragon to the enemies and take him down...looked sick...lol....

i am on the 4 level....so far it's good...some people just need to try it before they say it sucks or not

peace

I want a demo or rent the game cuz man Ign scored KingdomHeartsII with a 7 and that game was amazing.Gue1

WHAT!!!! were they on crack -er jacks when they did that review?

[QUOTE="longhorn7"]^ hey look its a 13 year oldrogerjak

WTF?1 I'm 17. The only reason I was asking is because the last news I heard was that it was delayed until September!

[QUOTE="rogerjak"]I don't get it. Players love it, reviewers hate it. that's why I don't trust reviews.R-Dot-Yung

i hate it too, trust the reviews on this one

Maybe you are one of the few who haven't grasped the controls or do you even have the game and just make your decision of a game off a review. Alot of people are saying it's a great game, especially the ones who bought it. I'm pretty sure you don't have it and make your assumptions that it is bad because reviewers say it is. If you do have the game and don't like it, it's probably because youeither rushed through the tutorial, don't have patience for the sixaxis, or you are still a noob with the sixaxis. Maybe you are just trolling through the forum or an xbox fan,I don't know but your opinion is pretty shallow of how you came up with it being bad when tons of people from multiple forums say it is a great game! Whatever, I'm still going to buy the game just like others went to buy the game to see for them selves if it was good or not. So far... So good ;)!

Mission #4, when you are assaulting the spinning citadel of light was amazing. It completely hooked me on the game.Velric

now i feel like if i dont give this game a chance, i'll be missing out.

okay i wont buy it because you didnt like it :roll:.

sweet I cannot wait to pick it up :) so many people love the game and reviewers sometimes just tlk to hear their own voices so i was gonna get it no matter what but this makes me happylonghorn7

I don't think it's that... some reviewers are just kind of settled in their ways when it comes to the type of games they play. Lair forces you to use a new style of playing... some will like it, some won't. Just like Warhawk... some can get used to motion controls, some use analogs.

I for one will definitely be picking up Lair. The reviews of ppl that like the game are those that liked the controls, and those that didn't like the game just didn't like the controls... so I know that it's a game I'll like. I'm a motion controller in Warhawk ;-)

My question is how are you guys getting early copies of the game?

haze_blaze

Some of us who preordered it got a phone call from Gamestopsaying that it is available to buy. This means that most Gamestop's gained the copy of Lair early. My local Gamestop called me and they have it on the shelves, I'll be grabbing my copy after work (Can't wait)! Your local game store may already have it but you just haven't gone down to check yet. If not... well I guess some of us got really lucky.

haze_blaze

That is because we're not getting it early. The release on most websites is wrong. Call up a Gamestop or EB and you can get a copy as well.

Gah! I keep hearing how great Lair is and how horrible it is! Is there nomiddle ground?

Im not getting mad at you acidburn, Im just confused even though I never wanted this game. :)

And of course the camera is enver perfect in these kinds of games, especially ones that involve this kind of lock-on, but it usually fixes it out and most likely you'll have remained safe during the brief moment of disorientain.

the game is not perfect, but its not atrocious like people are saying. In fact this game is GREAT! I give it two thumbs up!

Thats why it got a 4.5 here in GS?DaRockWilder
