Posted Gamespot's review since noone has yet. GS really hammered the game's control. Remember when Factor 4.5's Julian Eggebrecht praised how amazing ps3's motion control was in one of his interviews? So even with that, he still managed to botch up the controls this badly.
Seems like the sixaxis controls feel tacked on and ruined the game. Not that Factor 5's track record has been spotless since Rogue Leader. It's a shame about the reviews, but I hope F5 doesn't get slaughtered financially since I'm assuming ALOT of money went into Lair. Come back to Nintendo Julien!!!Minda_Cubed
Hey I remember you. You're the one who hyped the hell out of Star Wars: Rebel strikes for numerous months before the game came crashing down for its lousy gameplay and generally ugly, unfun series of dumb clunky tech demos poorly stitched together as the main game. Did you hype lair as well?
IGN gave poor score to lair's graphic too; terrible art design and runs badly. Maybe Factor 5 is no where near the tech marvels they are believed to be, and they supposedly had over 20 million dollar budget for this trainwreck.
This is suppose to be one of the killer app for the ps3. Maybe those of us who are still hyped should ignore the review and spend the $660 + tax to judge for ourselves?
Very blatant half-life 2 rip-off with some of f.e.a.r's slowmo look. Ain't as fun. Still plays like the demo they released last year, ala blinx FPS. Audio seems kinda muted or too low in many spots.
This is the first I've seen a review knocking the VISUALS of this game, calling them bland??? I think if Blue Dragon has ONE thing going for it, its the art style and the overall graphical effects. The game looks fantastic if nothing else.MyopicCanadian
Blinx has better art style than Blue Dragon. Its clayish design looks less bland. Hey, maybe artoon will finally go work on xbox's mascot franchise Blinx. Can't wait to see how much better blinx 3 is going to look.
finally tried the 360 demo today (pc version earlier) and it was better. Realized that the discomfort playing the pc version was its control. Now it's apparent that the pc control was gimped because the game was designed around the console controller and poorly ported to k/m :evil:
Worst: Tie between MGS2 (check out this funny but true comic http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/11/30) and Indigo Prophecy [spoiler] OMG the special evil religious cult with unexplained magical power was behind it all, followed by a super computer AI entity that arisen spontaneously in the fabric of space and time from mass of 80's computers [/spoiler]
