There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game. In fact it's pretty fantastic!

User Rating: 6.5 | Lair PS3
It's not often I write reviews unless i am compelled to stick up for something that has been unfairly slated. Lair is one of these games and ive absolutely no idea where the bad press is coming from! Maybe Microsoft have asked every employee to slate a rival game perhaps!!??

From the very beginning it is very clear that the producers have spent an aweful lot of money on this title from the overall presentation. The sound is THX certified and is absoutely top notch. The graphics are rich and full of fantastically detailed environments that stretch to the horizon line. It is a game in my opinion which captures the dragon fantasy element very well.

Now for the controls. We've not yet seen a full six-axis title until now and what better application for it. Many people say the dragon is uncontrollable but this is total and utter nonsense unless your head is stuck in the toilet.- Im a good portion into the game now and the dragon flys fine as long as you remember that you are indeed flying a dragon and not an F15! When you tilt the controller there is a slight delay but it adds to the feel as your dragon lumbers through the air. It gives a much more authentic experience.

My only gripes so far are that you sometimes aren't sure how to complete your objectives but when you replay the missions (to earn better medals) it is no real issue. I can sometimes lose my bearings but it's something you quickly get used to. Melee combat with other dragons is also a bit of a shallow process.

This is certainly a title with a good learning curve as it is hard in certain places but once you get masterful you should thoroughly enjoy it.

Ive no idea where Gamespot got 4.5/10 from as that is totally wreckless and inaccurate. Any scores lower than this are totally moronic so don't listen... My take is that if you are intrigued by the idea of this game then buy it and you shouldn't be disappointed. Its innovative, beautiful and fun.
