Here is a pretty neat vid showing how the controls aren't all that bad.

I doubt the controls are Lairs only problem - http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/lair

hmm controls def brought score down, any reports there are not as many other issues as reviews say?



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Interesting vid. Without playing for myself I can't say for certain, but the controls did seem smooth and responsive.

The fact that this even exist speaks volumes about how screwed up the controlls are

Looks like driving a car. You don't steer all over the place... you steer steadily.

I agree with this quote from N4g when it comes to lair There never was any doubt Lair was going to get trashed by the little fanboys at review sites. This suggestion that somehow 'reviewers were rushed' or other crap is just inane. Lair's controls are: Tilt left and right to steer One button for breath attack, one button for close attacks where you duke it out with the other dragon And if you want to get 'fancy' you can do a snap forward to do a dash for speed and you can do a wrist snap up to do a 180 degree turn That's it! Lair got trash by fanboys as joke sites like EGM or 1Up because: It is a 1080p graphically insane PS3 game Makes it obvious that 25/50 gig games sizes are going to be common with its 4 gigs per level data sizes It is a PS3 game with motion controls Lair has the hate of both the Nintendo and Xbox rabid fanboy communities. Great F-ing game. It's good to see the joke reviews of the game getting shown for the farce they are.

You've got to be kidding...

EGM and IGN are trash sites with fanboy reviewers?

I'd say it got trashed for the god awful framerate, the soilders being invincible sprites, the awful mid-game interruptions, crappy targeting, confusing objects, lame combat and over all half-assed nature of the game.

Seriously, all those reviewers complain about a lot more than the controls.


EDIT; people were pissed that it takes forever to turn around, and that the unresponsive controls make this worse.

I guess the sales will tell us whether it was a great game or not...
