Lair is a mediocre game that is extremely frustrating, and is barely worth a rent due to the horrible controls.

User Rating: 5.5 | Lair PS3
I rented Lair and brought it back today and I played through the first 11 levels (I've heard that there are only 14 levels in the game). Gameplay started off rough at first but became more natural feeling after a while but the controls still felt very sloppy. 75% percent of the time when I tried to do a 180 degree turn I would have to try multiple times to accomplish it. It also did a poor job of tackling the enemy dragons and I would have to try several times to do so. The worst control they put on the game is jerking the controller up and down to kill enemys and rip things out. This control is not very effective and very annoying (not to mention that it just looks wrong) and they should have removed it in the control patch.
The difficulty is very uneven. The first mission or two I went through easily but then the next two were very difficult then a few easy ones and then and extremely difficult level and it just felt like the game was trying to discourage me from playing. Any level where you had to rely on teamates was hard and very frustrating. The AI is terrible in the game and it makes you have to do Everything by yourself. Your teamates would rather tell you whats happening and what needs done than doing it themselves. It takes them about 3 minutes to kill one enemy dragon while you are expected to kill about 5 every three minutes on top of destroying enemy ships, rhinos, elephants, and killing there troops. The game had me yelling at the screen "do something you Idiot!". Don't get me wrong there are some fun points in the game but they are few and are spaced out. Absolutely do not buy the game unless you can find it for 5 bucks or something, This game is barely worth 5 no way it's worth 60. If you feel you must absolutely play it, simply rent it.
