What ever happend to actually learning to play a game?

User Rating: 7.5 | Lair PS3
By borgman | Review Date:
After reading Gamespot's review of this game I'm glad I decided to try this game myself. After playing the flight tutorial for 15 mins I got used to the controls. They're not THAT hard. There's a learning curve that dedicated players will adapt to. I'm splitting my time between Lair and Warhawk and I'm already on the 6th mission. I have yet to fail any of them. It seems to me that many reviewers are always looking forward to cookie cutter games that follow patterns based on previous hits. Once a title introduces something innovative, people don't have the time or desire to give it a chance.

The graphics are beautiful and the story is okay. I wish it was based on something other than a religious zealot hellbent on genocide, but I'm only on the 7th mission. I'll see where the story goes. So far I've have yet to see and issue with the time limit towards completing an objective. So far the game is very generous when it comes to finishing a given task.

The music is awesome. I wish there was a soundtrack mode. All that work into the soundtrack and the developers don't allow players to enjoy it whenever they like?

Recommendation: Gamers try this one for yourself and you be the judge.
