So guys who have got Lair and how is it? Just give out a rating in the range of 0 to 10. And ya, is it a long game that will take sometime to complete and how is the story going on, is it cool?
I just beat the first boss and so far the story is good and the presentation is top notch. the sixaxis is a hit or miss though so if you do not like using it then i wouldn't reccoment this for you. i say if you like sixaxis then it is an 8-8.5 and if you do not it is a 6-6.5
The game is not very long less than ten hours, but it has commentaries to listen to while you play through all the levels a second time to get the better medals and do good on the leaderboards. Plus I find the game just plain fun to play the missions over agian. I give it a 8.5
[QUOTE="longhorn7"]hey acid how many missions are there? close to 20? i just beat the sea serpentacidBURN1942
there are like 16 or so, the sea serpent is only just the begining of the story :P good lol im loving it so far. in the beginning you get too many cutscenes during the action but now its paced very nicely and i can tell im gonna keep playing through it after im done

LOL and the prison lvl, wow the way you kill the boss was on of the best moments Ive had in gaming.
Damn I was going to go play some warhawk but you've made me want to go play LAIR again. So back to the skies I go no matter what!

I look forward to it :) I can see why this game didnt get great reviews but i think that ign and gs didnt really give it a chance. It isnt the greatest game but its damn good once you get used to it
The reviewers have valid complaints, but I think they went overboard with the controls. They scored Lair too harshly, too.darkagent0019
yeah thats what i mean. i think that if they gave it a chance it could have been a solid 7 with the other issues they had. but hey first impressions stick with you i guess

The controls definitely aren't smooth, but the GS reviewer made it sound like it had a mind of its own. "Go right. No, the other right!" Seeing that quote made me laugh... at the reviewer. Everyone who has played it knows that tilting right will make it go right. I think the reviewer was jerking about violently instead of using normal smooth motions.

I know its been said a few times but the controls are not perfect. Its not that if you tilt right the dragon doesn't go right lol but its that if you try to do the 180 degree turn by jerking the controlling upwards quickly it only works half the time. You can't go too fast either or you can't steer good because you can't turn on a dime.
That said the graphics are stunning, voice acting and story are top notch.
I give the game 7.5/10 because its a good game that somehow didn't turn out to be as fun as expected (but still fun), because simply the developers got too ambecious with creating 1080p resolution when 720p would have been fine.
I just wish they has of left in the analog stick option.
Its shocking how they got 4.5/10 from gamespot but ign is saying pretty much the same thing.
Those who have the game tell me right now. Should I buy it. I am willing to learn those pesky controls. KaptainKernal
if you are willing to learn the controls then i say definately. i like the controls and my personal opinion on the game is 8.5. also to do the 180 is pretty easy just bring the controller straight up(without jerking it back down which is a natural reaction but makes you go faster i believe) :)
got warhawk a day b4 lair but i find myself playing lair more than i do warhawk....i give it an 8.5. after about the third level the controls felt natural to me. i cant play warhawk now without the mc on
I have Lair and I'm loving it so far. I would give it a solid 8. ! The motion controls are spot on. I think GameSpot missjudged this title. But it's one man's opinion! As for me...I have a hell of a good time with it!! I recommend this game to everyone especialy those who like to motion controls!
