Soulreaver, that article is wrong. I have the EGM in front of me, complaints:
-Motion controls are very bad and imprecise. "It's not just the air-based combat that will make you want to send your controller in actual flight."
-Ground combat sucks "They are an unsatisfying struggle with the camera."
-Targeting system sucks "The lock on system often sent my beast in random directions when I targeted a special kill."
-In game movies are badly timed and interrupt the flow of the game "The frequent midmission cinemas left me disoriented."
-There is no map so you never know where you are going "At least those titles had a radar, Lair's single guide arrow makes finding the next objective an exercise in futility."
-The epic feeling of the game is destroyed by invisible walls that limit you to a surprisingly small battle area, quote "Lair feels like it's trapped in a cave."
-Game is an unoriginal clone of their old games "Free to create an original project, how does Factor 5 wind up building a cliche-riddled Lord of the Rings reinterpretation of its Star Wars games?"
Honestly it sounds like they had quite a few very valid complaints. Good thing we have fanboys around though to tell us EGM is wrong about a game the fanboys have never played. Otherwise we would have believed the respected video game publication's reasonable analysis of the game. |
I played the demo at E3, does that count? if it doesnt then me saying i enjoyed the demo is pointless if it does thats cool. I got in thanks to GameCock Media, got to love those guys, their parties were awesome. |
It counts for something yeah. However, you enjoying the demo means that you may like the game either way. That's fine, but there is no reason to attack EGM for not liking it. Their reviews were reasonable. I recomend people actually read reviews (rather than just the scores) and determine for themselves if the negative aspects are a problem for them individually. Then, if you still aren't sure, rent it first.
