i guess i didn't really understand why people were so excited about lair to begin with. they only thing they saw is graphics, and being a new IP, expectations had no basis.


I think that's a little harsher than it ought to be. Apart from the lasting appeal, where it's pretty much only the medals/leaderboards, the controls are what kills the game. Everthing else about the game is what had me excited for it, but the control scheme wasn't good enough. Take a look at IGN's review at the end, graphics, sound, and presentation scored fairly well (8.0, 7.5, and 8.0). That's what excites me about the game, a fresh IP with a new story and look.

IGN looked like they would have loved to play the game but were totally frustrated by the controls, as noted in the video review. I'm obviously not expecting an amazing score with different controls, but if it wasn't for the controls, the game looks like it'd be around a 7-8.


 I asked Greg (IGN Editor) why the low score, it was the controls that killed it mainly, the framerate and the other minor issues didnt help.

Ok the reviews are retarded.

The controls are really good, so i dont know where the hell the complaints about sixaxixs are comiong from. After 2 hours i can honestly say Lair motion controls are better then Warhawks hows that for a wtf moment.

Are peope such trash that they are giving it a low scores only because it has no option for analog ? it looks like they are, just sixaxis hate.

There are a few issues but surprisingly its not the motion controls so WTF.

No offense Hus, but you're one of the last people I would trust to give me a review of a game.


Thing is iam as creadabie as the reviews, sad aint it ?

For all of Lair problems, motion controls are not it.  I could write a letter on what are th eprobels and how to fix them, the are qiute siple actually.

Um, no. If anything, reviewers at least can write at a 5th grade level.

Beyond that, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are beyond biased. You can scream at the top of every mountain that you love this game or whatever game, I don't care, that's your own opinion, but just taking every post you've made into account you cannot give any kind of fair review.

 Hus you are truly stupid. His comment is completely sarcasm.

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Warhawk have tons of options for tweaking the motion controls? I know the beta did, so I don't see why the final version would lack them.

Actually most of the reviews have a BA in journalism, just to actually state what really is level of writing quality.

Still when it comes to biased, your really not one to talk. Alright Mr. Anti-PS3.

I don't have much against the PS3 at the moment other than not wanting to pay that much for a console, my only problem is there aren't any games I want for it and that isn't Sony's fault.

Plus, I bitch and moan about Wii and 360 games quite often. I already ripped Bioshock to threads (though still got a good overall score because it is a great game) and when I finish MP3 I have a good number of gripes with it that it's going to get docked a good number of points for.  I'm not realy far into it but so far it's in about the 8.8-9.0 range for me but that number could change drastically either way by the time I finish the game.

I actually don't mind admitting that games on the Wii and 360 have problems (and would probably say the same thing about PS3 games but haven't played any other than Resistance).
