I got this month's EGM and they did a review for Lair and it didn't do to good, more of an average game with it's graphics really the only reason to buy it.

Sorry all you Ps3 owners who have finally been waiting for a good exclusive to come out, this isn't it. :'(

It averaged a 6.0

The Good: Graphics, the sea-snakes boss.
The Bad: Confusing game play, the final boss is...a building?

"Lair supports only motion control in-flight. Why not at least give the players the option to use the analog sticks?"

"The lock-on system is complex and seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes. Why not opt for a simpler system?"

"Why does every beast in this game explode? Seriously, do they all have nitroglycerin for blood?"

That sucks because of all the ps3 games i've seen besides MSG4, this one looked the coolest...

Yeah it really sucks. I've been waiting for good games to come out on the damn PS3. I figured this was going to be one of them games. oh well I guess I'll just have to wait a little longer till I buy one.

Tiannam, it's getting clearer and clearer to me that the only reason you meander into the PS3 forum is to crap on stuff...

While I'm sure the other PS3 owners out there already know this, I'll let you know. EGM has scored Lair much lower than any other mags (Play and Edge have both given it a 9.0/10.0).

Personally, Lair and Heavenly Sword were always iffy to me. I suspected their hype would far outweigh what they deliver... now that we've had the Heavenly Sword demo, I feel I was more right than wrong although some people just LOVED the demo...

Where is your post in the 360 area about their Blue Dragon review? ;)

I personally would care less about Blue Dragon. It's not like it was as big of a highlight as Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Halo 3. Once the reviews have come out for those games, you can laugh in my face if any of them get a bad review. I played the demo of Blue Dragon, and it was pretty lame, but that's probably because I'm such a FPS whore.

Lair got a 4.9 from the notoriously generous IGN.com. Ooops.

Another disappointing ps3 game tsk tsk. Haze better be good.

Okay, who is in charge of this movement here... why, oh, why would you pin your future hope on Haze? I mean people were doing it for Heavenly Sword and Lair, which I can sort of understand since they were first party and heavily hyped... but pinning your future hopes on Haze is just risky.

I tell you what, pin your hopes on Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted. Those two will be phenomenal. I played Uncharted last weekend... it's a system seller. Ratchet & Clank too... it doesn't matter that there were R&C games on the PS2, the game looks friggin' amazing compared to any platformer that's been done up to this point.

Haze has potential, but please don't try to make it the PS3 poster child.

lol, PS3 games suck! you should have bought a 360 cause it's got great games like Shadow Run, Tenchu Z, and Hour of Victory.

At first Haze looked cool, with all their CG trailers. But the gameplay and graphics don't look all that appealing.

Haha! That was great!

To each his own... I've played Haze and I'm not writing it off, I just don't see why someone would put that game on a pedestal as the next great PS3 hope...

well mgs4 is obviously the great ps3 hope

don't forget how awesome rockstars table tennis was...

i was never really inreasted in lair but thats a shame.

Gamer TV on Sky gave lair a 3 out of 5

Said it gets a bit samey and boring.

I can see the same happening with heavenly sword (except for a few cinematic bits) Its all a bit samurai warriors(360) with better graphics for me

Uncharted looks the business will be the first PROPER game

I'm gonna leave getting a PS3 till next year when the grand daddy of all racing games comes out Need for spee....., oh no, sorry, I mean Gran Turismo.

and cant wait for the conversion of Pippa Funnell 3: The Golden Stirrup Challenge


Come on PS3, dare me to buy you

and cant wait for the conversion of Pippa Funnell 3: The Golden Stirrup Challenge
:D

It's not a patch on Barbie: Race and Ride ;)

I just finished listening to EGM's most recent podcast that includes an interview with Lair developer Julian Eggebrecht. First of all, he's in 100% PR mode (which is expected) on the subject of the sh*tty motion controls. He believes that the majority of the people having problems with the sixaxis are "hardcore" gamers and that casuals are looking at it with more of an open mind and doing fine with it.

How the f*** do you create a game that doesn't allow control customization? This is unacceptable.

Hi all. First time poster, although I have been reading your blogs and whatnot for a while.

Perhaps posting on a Lair trying to defend it as a first post may not be the brightest idea here seeing as people really have a dislike for the PS3, but whatever. *Puts on flame shields*

Now first off, I am not saying that Lair is a perfect game. I know that. And yes I am jealous that the 360 gets Bioshock and Mass effect. (Never had an Xbox so I can't really say that I'm jealous about halo 3) I'm hopefully getting a 360 this Christmas. Anywho, back on subject. When I first got Lair, I was really skeptical about the motion controls because of all the negative reviews about it. I still opened the game and tried it out. After playing around with it for a while, I began to like using them and came to a conclusion on how to use the controls properly.

My Take on Lair's controls. (http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=lair&thread.id=6913)

I wrote a little article on how I think the controls should be handled. I hope some of you take the time to read it and comment on it.

I understand that motion controls take some time to get used to, but the fact that analog isn't supported in the game is ridiculous. At least Warhawk supports both.

I think I understand what you're saying... and I'd say that it's probably based on the sources of the pictures/video. I haven't had any issues to speak of other than my personal TV is a bit dark, but I saw the same games on my buddy's HDTV and they looked superb.

That's not a widespread complaint of PS3 games that I've heard (other than multiplatform games that the devs only gave a few minutes worth of polish to).

I don't have a PS3, but as a fan of factor 5's previous games, it is disappointing to read the poor reviews on this game.

As for future 'killer aps' for the PS3 there are a few titles i'm interested in, but ive been around long enough not to believe what the PR campaigns promise, or get excited by hype.
