Here's my take on the game. It's not a review so much as a rant about the game.

I really, really don't like this game. Which is sad because I really wanted it to be good.

Wow priceless :)

Sounds like 4.9 was being generous. I also find it REALLY hard to believe that Sony approved this. Hopefully they will cut the marketing budget back to zero.

LAIR actually poses a real problem, in that people *may* consider it representative of high-budget, high-profile, PS3 titles - published by Sony - to come in the future. Sony should have canned this completely. I believe both MS and Ninty would have.

Imagine if MS run a campaign advertising LAIR for the PS3... something like "Buy a PS3 --> play LAIR. Buy a 360 --> play Bioshock. The choice is yours!"

Honestly, I wonder how many of my problems were due to terrible 1080i compatability. I know that in 480i, a few of the problems went away. I also know that in 1080p, the game plays like trash. I wonder if some of the good reviews (that aren't on fanboy sites) are being played on 720p.
