Forums - Sony Discussion - Lair Officially a Ratings Flop - Average Score 68%

Now I don't want to say it's a commercial flop since no one knows how well its going to sell.. but ratings wise its not off to a good start. First 4 reviews are in on Metacritic (Metacritic is usually updated faster then Gamerankings.com) Average 68% http://www.metacritics.com/games/platforms/ps3/lair 90 Play Magazine Lair has come together beautifully... With its stunning visuals and incredible soundtrack, Lair may well be the single most powerful experience that a man can share with his $5,000 home theatre system. [Aug 2007, p.64] 75 GamePro I expect many fans will be disappointed thanks to all of the hype that's built up around the game, but the inevitable complaints about the control scheme will be warranted. [Sep 2007, p.79] 55 Electronic Gaming Monthly Don't buy it if you want a dragon that does what it's told. [Sept 2007, p.82] 50 PSM Magazine Strip away the graphics and novelty controls and Lair is exposed for what it is: an average shooter the likes of which we've all played before on two earlier PlayStation iterations. [Oct 2007, p.74]

i was always told we needed 6 whole reviews before ANYTHING was official......i guess i heard wrong.



I'm gonna have to lock this topic...if you want to call Lair a critical failure using MetaCritic, you need to wait for more reviews.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Reviews are still coming in and you did forget the 8/10 PSW score.
