I'm not surprised by this review... It stopped being a good-looking game about a year ago... As soon as gameplay videos started to hit i saw FLOP written all over it...

Yeah I think it really is UNFair that they left ANalog Controls COMPLETELY out just because they could.... REtarded!

THey're just trying to control players intstead of Players controlling their game>>>>>

Well guys this is real bad news for people who own a PS3. I myself was looking forward to this game, but after hearing about the EGM review and Garnett Lee from 1UP it wasquite apparent that this game is not very good at all. I'm surprized so many people are defending it by saying the reviewer just doesn't like sixaxis controls when it appears others (refering to EGM) also agree with IGN. This is no surprize, itsquiteclear to stay away from Lair, get Warhawk or Heavenly Sword if you can bear with having a 6 hour SP game. Remember, if you purchase a game you are showing the devs and publishers that your willing to pay for s***.

Who told you IGN is biased. That's stupid. I remember when everyone called Gamespot biased and that the real source was IGN, but now its flipped becuase IGN gave a review you were not expecting.

Why are people always taking reviews as a big red light ? Like if they were the ultimate authority. I always see people act as if reviews represented every single opinions a player could have about a game. FLOP ! BIAS !, who care ! When will people understand reviews cannot be objective. There are no conspiracies, only one guy opinion. So try it and see. Don't like it ? Next. Thats all, no drama.

Just to let people know, don't bash this game because of the rating, users have said it's actually a very good game and another great game that implements the motion sensing quite well. Of cours it is going to be hard at first, you just have to get use to it. You guys who are hatin on the motion sensing just aren't use to New stuff yet, I'm use to it already and play/buy games that use the motion sensing options. My only exception is to Motorstorm, I may buy it later once I beat my other games and the holidays game releases. Anyway, I'm still going to buy Lair no matter what reviewers say, just like I'm going to buy Heavenly Sword no matter what! Here's a user review of Lair, check it out and make your judgement then!

@ Killer_Cyborg: I agree with you 100%, who cares what reviewers say, we are the ones buying it, we should be the ones judging for ourselves if a game is good or not. People just believe one reviewers opinion and it's a deal breaker! No reviewer liked Rub a dub and gave it horrible reviews, when I actually liked it (and I'm a huge fan of the motion sensing on the PS3 too!)

I pointed this out in a different thread but it would seem the developer rushed the review or had little interest in the game in the first place. One of his largest complaints other than targeting was his inability to make a quick turn, yet one of the very first things you learn to do in the first mission of the game is how to perform a quick 180 degree turn. It seems to me like the reviewer didn't bother to learn the game before he played it and that he jumped into it already wanting to hate the controls.

I have none of the issues he did, not even with the targeting. I don't regret buying the game in the least bit.

I personally find that when sites like these give pretty good games like lair scores like 4.9 or whatever it was, they just like the atention they get. I mean hey, its worked hasn't it, its got loads of us talking about why etc etc, giving their site more atention etc. I find the same with movie reviews, thats why on the whole i dont listen to reviews because they are absolute bullcrap...

It's also not the only one that gave Lair a GREAT PREVIEW. How do you go from "This game rocks" to "This game sucks" when nothing was changed to the control scheme? This is why I ignore reviews and go on gut instinct. Lair's a purchase waiting to happen for me.

now all of u think that ign is biased just bc they gave the game a bad review. theyre not the only ones to give the game a bad review. so what, now everytime a ps3 game that is supposed to be good gets a bad review, all of u fanboys r just gonna say bc the reviewer is biased? sony could put out the worst game ever made, and u sony fanboys would still make excuses for it. just accept the fact that maybe this game isnt as good as u thought. and dont go and say ima "troll" or a 360 fanboy, cuz im not. i just hate fanboys in general. i mean calling a gamesite biased just bc they gave a game on ur console a low review is pathetic.

I agree with you one hundred percent.

Oh and by the way have you tried this game? It's like the single best game in the entire universe. Everything else is absolute trash compared to, well besides other exclusive PS3 games. I mean really, they can't be bad. They just can't.

I'll put up a review later and give the game a perfect 10. That should be enough for me to make you believe me right?

Lair deserves nothing more than 4.9, Factor 5 have really screwed this up. The gameplay is extremely bad considering all aspects including camera angles, the control system and combat. A secondary control system should have been included. Graphics don't make a game, Lair isn't that special graphically anyway. 4.9 is a fair score, the game is poor.
