Lair (PS3)

I play a lot of games. A LOT. This has got to be among the worst games I`ve ever played. The reason for this? The controls, pure and simple. Yes, the general flight controls can be switched between motion sensing and traditional, but the air combat controls cannot. There are moments when you have to do sideways slams into other dragons with motion control, and this simply doesn`t work well enough (if at all). I thought, surely at this price it`s worth a shot. The answer is NO!!!! Although if you have someone in your life that you really don`t like, this would be an ideal gift.

Firstly, let me get one thing clear, the game is extremely better than what some reviewers have given it. I mean the same could be said with the wii, first time I played it I thought it was crap, especialy when you've played with a controller. Anyway, after a few good hours, I will admit it is an excellent game. The graphics are great, the game itself is challenging and has a good shelf life. I will admit you need to give it sometime, timing is the key and the gesture system is great. I like the other games that allow to use the siaxis for only certain elements of a game, but this is all sixaxis, apart from when you are battling on ground. Another thing I must point out is that you don't need to go mental on the sixaxis, as it is very responsive, just gentle movements of the sixaxis will make your dragon move, think of it in terms of a dragon, strong, powerful but yet gentle and swift. I let my wife play and she just went mental with the sixaxis and she got nowhere in the game. People may not like it as you need to forget to learn to use the analogue sticks, which like me can be daunting at first, but after 2-3 hrs I was mastering the skies and the manouvers. It is a great game with beautiful visuals. As I say, don't knock it till you've played it for a good few hrs continously. I still don't understand what the reviewers were reviewing as it's utter rubbish what they have claimed. To be honest most of the reviewers now-a-days only play 2/3rds of it and rush it, so they end up slating it. Rather than spend quality time with a game and truly master it. Do yourself a favour and order it, trust me you will be suprisingly amazed, this is what the ps3 sixaxis was made for! Kudos to the developers to try something different and truly succeed, sad fact is they got lynched by incompetent reviewers, who can't find there **** from there elbow.

Its OK for a few missions, then it gets a little bit boring - confusing. I tried to keep using the sintaxis, maybe with standard controls is not so confusing and frustrating and more playable. The idea is good, riding dragons, attacking land forces, fighting other dragons... but the end product is not too brilliant I bought it cheap to give it a try, so I'm not too disappointed, but not too happy either. Maybe I'll revisit it when I have nothing else to play (but quite unlikely)

I didnt give the game full starts just because of the Multilayer servers are not up any more but for anyone that love Singe player and love game's where the quality of the background and art work it underrated will all in love with this game and allot very cheep

I received a PS3 game inside a Xbox One game box with the sleeve and the disc instead backwards. The booklet was crudely folded inside because apparently Xbox booklets are smaller and it didn't fit. How do you put a game disc with the front side facing down!? Whoever packaged this evidently did not care one bit. Amazingly, the disc was only smudged up and not seriously scratched. It seems to work fine and the booklet does match the game. I mean it was dirt cheap but still...

this has to be the worst game i have got for ps3 the controlls of using the analog stick are clever but are so annoying if you want to go back to that game after usinh keypad buttons on a controller. thats not the only letdown you have only got about 12 or 13 levels and to me i didnt really notice any difference between the levels to me they seemed all the same and repetitive lair has got online modes which made me a bit happier but when i played them i could only play on them for 30 minutes because again it seems like work to play on them do not get this game if you have 40 quid to spend theres much better games out there

If you like combat flying simulators - especially the Rogue Squadron trilogy + Battle for Naboo - you'll most likely love this one. As the last game Factor 5 developed before they restructured the company, and as an early title meant to show the power of the PS3, it's as much eye candy as you would expect it to be. I haven't played the game that much yet, but the first few levels were fun enough. The controls seem to take some getting used to, but thankfully you can turn off the six-axis gimmick thing if that's how you prefer to play the game. I really enjoy the attention to detail, and I almost sense a passion from the developers when I'm playing. So yeah, this is a VERY personal opinion, but I sincerely believe this game should be worth a try to most people, especially for those of us who enjoy flight simulation.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't call the title of this review exaggeration. You've heard it across the web, you've heard it on Gamespot, and now you're hearing it here, LAIR is one of the worst games ever made. With a jumpy control scheme, slow load times, a bad storyline and utterly terrible gameplay, it is a true challenge to enjoy this game. Do yourself a favour, and waste your money ona decent game.

un gioco originale, ma ha fatto decisamente il suo tempo. Il comparto tecnico è sottotono rispetto agli standard odierni (e forse anche rispetto a quelli della data d'uscita del gioco), la palette di colori è piuttosto scarna; nonostante ciò offre dei momenti di divertimento e "pilotare" un drago è sicuramente un'esperienza divertente e insolita.

Habe gehort das man nach dem Controler patch endlich ohne Bewegungsteuerung spielen kann aber das stimmt nur zum teil den die sixaxis Steuerung ist immer noch ab und an gefragt und sie geht einfach nicht zu dem flackert die grafik so stark das es wehtut in den Augen. Es ist ein kaum spielbarer graubrauner matsch der zwar eine tolle Idee hat aber sehr schlecht umgesetzt wurde.

El juego es una pasada yo lo he jugado unas horas y la verdad que para ser de principio de generación recomendado viene en castellano

Hab das Game gekauft, weil ich mal Sixaxis versuchen wollt, und es macht sogar spaß! Wer auf Drachen in Games steht, ist hiermit richtig!
