Factor 5: Lair sucks but, hey, it's not our fault

The thing with that though is the backspin isn't supposed to be your basic easy move. It's one of those moves that the better you are at the game, the more easily and better you can pull that off. With Lair, I'm assuming a 180 is a basic move that anybody should be able to do regardless of skill like, I don't know, walking forward.

If he wants to compare the 180, maybe he should have looked at something like RE4:Wii and how easy it is to do. Oh wait, no, then he couldn't have a silly out and blame it all on the casual/hardcore crowd (whichever one is more appropriate at the time).

Exactly. The 180 in Lair is one of the most important features (when it works) in the game. You try using it constantly before giving up half the time and just turning around (takes about 5 seconds).

Even if it's only as accurate as WiiSports, it's pretty sad that Factor 5 is resorting to comparing their $25 million game to a bundled tech demo that lacks any kind of features or real depth whatsoever. It's also sad that WiiSports is a boatload more fun than Lair.

I don't think it's sad at all, I'd rather spend 250€ than 600...
