Can't wait to buy it.

The scores were also based on the gameplay and a Joypad tweak aint going to change their minds, and of course games are never rescored after updates or every game would have to be rescored every time an update was released.



Look at the Gears of war the new maps are outstanding but you cant expect the reviewers to re review Gears and up the score by another 1 or so because of that can you ?..

I hated the game, but thats me. I rented it on game fly. Played it for a bout 3 hours, very frustrating indeed to make turns. But thats not why I hated it, its cause the actually gameplay is pretty boring. "destroy the ships that are shooting the city!". Maybe its cause I had super high hopes for this game and it turned out to be average in every area. Atleast Warhawk is freaken awesome!

I got this game the day it was released and that video shows exactly how it has always been. It controled fine from the start. To turn sharper, you have to use the brakes, it's called physics.

I mean it's something completely different from the way that we are used to playing games and I bet that after playing your whole life with an analog stick it would be difficult to play with the Sixaxis. It took me a while to change from using the digital pad to the analog stick for racing games, I would always over do it and hit a wall, I'm willing to bet it's the same way here people are either over doing it or under doing it. Anyhoot, I'll try to rent it and judge for myself before making my decision.

Lair is getting bad reviews because of the game itself! But like all games, once reviewers (and us gamers) don't like it, we start listing all the things we don't like, even if it seems like nit-picking. For Lair, the control is one of the common things that people don't like, and so that's one of the issues that keeps being mentioned.



If Lair was an absolutely fantastic game, then many of those who don't like the controls would make more effort to master it, because they would WANT to do so to get the most out of the game. But if you just don't like a game, then you're not going to bother, and this is what has happened to Lair.

the game looks pretty good but all the flak about the controls is making me think i should wait

Is there something wrong with changing the rules every once in a while? Give them credit for trying out something new, even though their try seems to have fallen flat on its face precisely because of what they changed.



And I do think that if you were to master the controls, the game is probably enjoyable. But, until I put my money where my mouth is and try out the game myself, I can't guarantee that the game is really good. I'll probably be trying out this game sometime late in this month (probably month-end) and will post what I think of it, although I suspect this game might be old news at that time.

Looks are not everything as the saying goes, and judging by the reviews scores on game play and frame rates issues etc I would try before you buy...

That's na2rul's approach. That way when the PS3 pulls out a decent game it's kick ass. 600 bucks is kind of a big deal even if I had no expectations.

no offense but this is a awful game Im not gonna make no excuses 4 this game the six axis is horrible n no i shouldn't have 2 get used 2 it it shud b ready 2 go out tha box if Im payin $60(it better b worth it) n almost every site that's reviewing it is giving it a bad score there will be good games in the ps3 future just not this one.

DON'T BUY

To all the diehard PS3 fans, sorry but the excuse that 'you need to get use to it, its a new way of playing the game!' is not the problem here. Infact, moving a controller left and right, back and forward is not anything new in the department of flight simulation games (which is what Lair is more or less). This game infact does not at all offer anything new except for the fact that you are a dragon instead of a war plane and such. This game is very linear, granted the graphics are great but that does not make a game great. Its like saying the new 3 star wars movie were superior to the old triology because they are graphicly superior. The problem here is with substance. So much to say even if the controls were perfected and they allowed people to use analog sticks instead of the six axis, the game still falls on its face because simply put, it is not fun. Consider this everyone: if this game were released with the first batch of games when the PS3 launched and was not a PS3 exclusive and lets say was released by a third party game developer.. people would've been much more eager to take a shiet on the game. The only thing making this game worthy of critisism to critisism is the fact that it was suppose to raise the bar but instead it quite literally flew to low.
