A Sixaxis treat for those who are used to the motion controls. Not so much for those who aren't.

Well let me start out by saying this. If you do not like six-axis and do not want to learn to use it DO NOT PICK THIS UP. But if you like the six-axis or want to learn how to use it this is a MUST BUY. The production values are amazing for this game and it is a graphical treat. I will even go as far as to say it is the best looking game this generation. You will find yourself being distracted by the beautiful environments and sometimes have to replay missions because of your mid battle joyrides. For fans of the six-axis the controls are very tight and responsive and after about the third mission, you will find that you wont even have to think about what your hands are doing to glide with ease through the level. With that said it is interesting that they did not give the option to fly analog. It seems like something that will alienate people more than it will bring in more gamers to the title. For those who hate the controls i could easily see this getting as low as a 6.5.

Difficulty in Lair is something that will keep the game interesting for a very extended period of time. This is the first game in years that has made me retry a mission multiple times, and not only that, but kept the action fresh and enjoyable. The take-downs are beautiful to watch and the one on one dragon fights are insanely intense at times. Pair that up with a compelling soundtrack and epic battles in the background that could make a fantasy nerd cry and you have a winner.

In conclusion for fans of six-axis Lair is a MUST HAVE for the ps3. For those that hate the six-axis, it is either a RENTAL or PASS until Heavenly Sword comes out next week.
