The game has been pushed back from Aug 14th to Sept 4, which actually puts it in competition with Heavenly Swords, but that is not what concerns me. There hasn't been much talk about this game considering it is a Sony exclusive and one of the first original IP. I was hoping for a positive review from E3 but I didn't see a general consensus that this game will be a must buy. What is the general consensus among you gamers, because instead of purchasing it on day one I think I might sit back and wait for the reviews. What's your thoughts

Actually upon further investigation it is reported that the game's six axis controllers are not intitutive and the campaign is short. That upsets me considering I bought a PS3 mainly for this game and few others. At least I can count on Heavenly Swords, Tools of Destruction and Uncharted to come through this Q4.

I'm going to buy it, I don't really trust reviews completely enough to decide wether a game deserves a purchase or not, opinions varry. And to be honest, Lair looks pretty sweet to me. That being said, I just got my PS3 last week, and I've just finished Resistance and as much as I love my PS3, there isn't much else to play on it at the moment.

Also the game is being made by Factor 5 and if you liked rouge squadron on the gamecube or n64, you'll probably enjoy this game.

At least give it a rent.

Being pushed back now leaves Warhawk to come out before Lair. I'm probably going to buy that now and wait to get Lair after reviews or just later. So it kinda lost my sale.

I was also looking forward to playing the game for 2 weeks before I moved off to college. Now I'll probably wait.

I think alot of people fell this way about Lair, hopefully the game comes through and becomes another good ps3 title.

I agree with most your comments, the game has lost a little steam since it's initial unveiling. I loved Rogue Squadron for the Gamecube, that is why I thought this game would take off. I am assuming the difficulty will be adjustible since if the campaign is short I would like to increase if I breeze through in 20 hours or less. I purchased the PS3 before the price break in early May,so any more delays or subpar exclusives are going to get me to the boiling point :)

Well the major issue was the control's, I've played warhawk and loved the motion controls so Im going to ignore what they said about it and purchase it anyways. I know this game will be a love, hate thing, a lot of will like the controls, and a bunch will dislike it. No biggie for me and I will enjoy the either way.

now a days i always wait for reviews to judge a game. that way i can see the pros and cons even if i dont agree with the review. one time i preordered a game that i thought was gonna be good and it sucked. i also find it not smart to judge a game on its demo either. even if i try a demo i know its not a finished product so i wait and see. there were times when i didnt like the demo of a game but the moment i saw the review and played it, i liked the game.

Since it's been pushed back, they have more time to refine the controls. It's too bad, though, to hear about the campaign. My two cents, though, is that it looks to use the controls in a rather new way (much like warhawk) and that alone sold me on flOw. As it stands, I probably won't be buying it until I see a few reviews from different sources come in. Seeing as how EB has the release date as the same day as Heavenly Sword, I'll have something to fill the gap until I can see what the public as a whole seems to think of the game.

The game still looks like it is going to be great. Maybe they really delayed to to fix some of the problems that reviewers released (like the ground camera being too zoomed in, so you only see the dragons ass and can't see if a bull is charging at you from behind.)
The large scale of the battles and everything about the game is still pretty appealing.

Its not sony Delying the games, its the company making them. Either way I'll be able to wait and R6V will fill the void till then .

Wow. Y'know they pushed it back for a reason. To pretty much make the game good with online stuff like leaderboards, etc.

Anyway, I'm not going to be buying this. I know, I KNOW it does look amazing, but y'know dragons and fantasy games... not my cup of tea. If you are hardcore into dragons and such, I guess, then this game is a must buy.

hmmm it does suck that Lair, Heavenly Sword AND Warhawk are coming out at the saem time.... Sony, learn to pace yourself a bit better. I'll be getting Lair though. So far EDge gave it a 9, Gamezone gave it a 9, Play gave it a 9, and Gamepro gave it a 3.75 out of 5 (around 8 out of ten?). I also heard that Game Informer gave it a 9 out of 10 but have not seen a link or scan to prove it yet. EGM was pretty much the only desenter with a review of 5.5 (hmm curious). I'll wait until what IGN and Gamespot review but judging from there positive hands on previews from E3 (check the sites for the previews), they'll probably give it like an 8-9 out of 10. Looking forward to it.

I am definitely going to rent it first...sometimes I don't even buy them, if there is no reply value and the campaign is short...why spend the $60... I know I know not helping the gaming companies. But I would rather spend my $20 per month at Gamefly and only buy the games I KNOW I will spend hours and hours playing...

buy the game you love, forget about the reviews.

I still like armored core 4 even its reviews are that bad, missions short or whatever.

Every game has some points to enjoy.

Lair is a must buy for me, cuz I simply like dragon riders, even it's just a movie like eragon.

I was counting on Lair to get me through August until Warhawk lands, but with it's recent delay I may wait to pick it up. I will be playing Warhawk and Two Worlds (360) so I don't know if I'll have time for Lair. I will definitely buy it, I'm just not sure if it will be right away or a little bit down the road.

Uhm...okay...

I am still wondering how you can say you are gold then issue a delay, makes no sense to me.
