Honestly, Lair didn't seem too different than Factor 5's Star Wars games. Just that Star Wars made people (or me at least) enjoy them.

If you're steady with the motion controls, it's not too difficult to control your dragon.

well i dont think any bad hyped game is as bad as what people say. i think its that people get so hyped for the game that when it is average or just below average they will rip it to shreds as they are disappointed with it.

saying that though some games deserve to get riped, i dont know about this game though so i cant really make a comment on it.

I bought Lair, despite all the negatives it received (really only focusing on the controls).

And even with the availability of the analog control patch, I played with the standard controls. My thoughts? WTF was all the complaining about? Now I'm not going to say that this game is actually great, and all the reviewers are stupid (ala Infinite Undiscovery) but it's not bad either. The only issue I had with the game in my first couple run throughs were some framerate drops. With the Sixaxis, I easily banked left/right, ascended/descended, and pulled 180's, so I'm just not understanding why everyone claimed the controls were so horrid.

I did download the analog controls patch, so I'm about to try that out, and I'll give further impressions

Edit: Don't worry, I didn't pay too much for it lol. I used my EDGE card and a 25% off coupon that Gamestop sent me in my email. It was about $20 afterwards (Lair is $30 used at Gamestop...but $60 new....WTF!?! Yet it's $30 new at Wal-mart)

I feel the same way.. i didn't finish it though.. got pissed off since you have to restart levels if you die.. XD couldn't get past the level with the mantis.. and the story + voice acting did suck..

gameplay was alright though.
