For fly boys and dragon lovers alike

User Rating: 9.5 | Lair PS3
By grimdagamer | Review Date:
Lair seems to have done a lot of things right. It's beautiful, it has a good story that's not too predictable, and it has dragons in it. Hell if this had a normal control scheme, gamespot probably would have given it a 9. However, they didn’t. They gave it a 4.5. I personally liked the control scheme and after level five I didn’t even think about the controls. But I’ve also been playing Blazing Angles: Squadrons of WWII with the SIXAXIS also… So my advice is to rent it. It’s not very long; I beat it in about 8 hours. If you’re like me and you feel the need to go back and do everything perfect, then buy it. If the controls make you throw your controller at the screen, obviously don’t buy it. But don’t pass up trying it. It’s a game like no other. The only reason I didn't give it a ten was on account of some minor glitches. It made it a little disorienting.

P.S. The large-scale battles are LARGE-scale battles. If you don’t like to have to fight against heavy odds (100-1 typically) then this one won’t be your favorite.
