It had Factor 5, which has made some great games in the past, and is very technically proficient. People thought, look what these guys did on the Gamecube when it launched, imagine what they can do on the PS3 with a huge budget. It's too bad it didn't work out better for them.
One thing I'll say about the controls (and I haven't played Lair, but this is what I gather from reviews) is that any problems will be greatly exacerbated by a low framerate, which is a problem in Lair. The same is true of Red Steel on the Wii -- it's not that the controls are terrible, which I don't think they are, it's that the framerate is so awful that you can't smoothly control the game. To be honest, there's only subtle differences between the controls in Red Steel and the controls in Metroid Prime 3. The difference is that one game runs at 15-20 fps and the other runs at a rock solid 60 fps. Which do you think will be easier to control?
