*sob* Ah, man. Sorry, I just finished leaking fluids out of my eyes after playing Lair. A game that looks and even sounds great, but thanks to dismal controls and s****y camera work, Lair leaves a lot more to be desired for.

The game takes place in a time where volcanoes are emerging at an alarming rate. Because of that, the people have divided into two distinct groups: the Mokai and the Asylians. The Mokai are jealous of the Asylians beacuse the Asylians are rich and the Mokai aren't. So, of course, the Mokai wage a war on the Asylians in an attempt to get there land back. You ride a dragon, shooting fireballs at your enemies. Who doesn't want to do that?! That sounds like fun. But unfortuanetly, the camera work is unbelieveably s****y. By the time the camera decides to start working, you're already frustrated to the point where you want to scream. Also, the controls are poor. To do this slow-mo thing where you can target multiple enemies, you have to press a combination of buttons. Thanks to the amazing controls and even better camera work, you struggle jsut to lock onto two enemies. Arrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm losing my mind! Sorry about that.

All in all, Lair could've been a wonderful, critcally acclaimed game if it weren't for the controls and camera work. Thanks to dismal controls and s****y camera work, Lair leaves a lot more to be desired for.
