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

Ok, so I just watched the Gametrailers review for Lair and there's no doubt in my mind that that even a 6 is high for this game.

It seems like the controls are bad enough, but the cut scenes aren't exactly spectacular for the games budget, even from the video I could see the animations weren't great, the video had framerate hits-- even on the scripted sequences, it sounds like it's pretty buggy (they actually said it felt unfinished), and how they end is the level is just absolutely unacceptable.

I mean really, it's 2007 and you're working on the PS3 and all they can do to end the level is just freeze the screen and slowly fade to black.

I have no doubt that some who like this game and others have convinced themselves it's good to justify their game and make others think it's good but I'm sorry, this game is just terrible.  I have to feel horrible for the developers who have to see the reactions after all the long work they put into the game but I have the funny feeling it's not a surprise.

While people have said I went overboard with my review (and I may have a bit), everything I said stands true to some level. The game is either bugged or just flat-out BAD from front to back. No control fix is going to cure this game of its ills.

It's a bad game. End of story.
