Lair is a game a person who can't move their hands will hate.

User Rating: 7.5 | Lair PS3
After reading most of the reviews for Lair I was skeptical to buy it. instead, I rented it and was shocked at how much I disagreed with the reviews. The controls are great, they just take some time to get used to. Sure, occasionally the "180" will get confused withe the "dash" but that does not make the game impossible to play. I found the controls to perfect for the game. Using the SIXAXIS made the experience much more fun, and for a change different from most other games.

Lairs graphics are easily its best feature. With incredible draw distances and amazing textures, Lair is easily the best looking game on the Playstation 3. With so many things on screen at once, including many forms of dragons, humans, and other various creatures, it is not surprising that the frame rate occasionally stutters. This can be a annoying, although it does not take away form the overall experience. Combat wise Lair is fairly solid. Your ranged attack comes in the form of a fire ball. The fire looks good, and there are a couple of ways to use it, including large fire balls, rapid fire, and a continues flame. Dragon on Dragon combat is, in my opinion, the games weakest part. Not only is it clunky, but it comes down to mashing buttons and hoping that you win.

Lair is a game that in my mind could have been a AAA title for the Playstation3. The game looks great, controls well, and has an interesting story. If only the game did not last 3 hours, and have bugs that could have been could have been fixed. Overall the game is very enjoyable, and is definitely worth a rent if you own a PS3.
