User Rating: 5 | Lair PS3
By SamaSume | Review Date:
Lair was a game that I had a lot of hope for. Even though I saw the rating on Gamespot I still thought I had to buy it. So I cracked opened the game and put it in. After the first level or so I thought that the learning curve would set out and that the controls would respond better....They didn't. I still to this day cannot get the freakin dragon to do a 180. I just can't. So right there it starts getting hardish because I have no control over my dragon. He constantly will start5 to dip down on me (it's probably because of me but still). The fighting is super simplistic and lacking depth. The game is short including the massive learning and refining curve. They story is pretty nice for what it tries to do. I never really liked the medieval meets future seen with a little splice of Sci-Fi. But as for what I know on the topic this seemed pretty good. The graphics were above avg. for me. The lava and stuff just looked bad. But facial stuff looked alright (I could see this on the X-box or PS2). That's about it,

Duration= short
Graphics= okay. above avg Gameplay= really rough and almost unplayable
Story= good...I liked it. OVERALL: Don't buy unless you just want a coolish looking game in your empty PS3 gamecase (that's why I bought it).

Can't think of anything else right now. FIRST REVIEW, CONGRATS ON ME!!!

    Lair got bad reviews from just about everyone when it was released, and the major complaint about the game was the controls. Now, with the release of the new PS store, Factor 5 released an update that just may change alo... Read Full Review
