So the title says it all. I've been in threads recently, and people keep talking about Lair being so bad.. I've seen it so much that I want to pick up a copy just to see how BAD it really is. 

So please, if you can, enlighten me on the reasons this game so bad. o_o; I just NEED to know.

Thanks:D 

mostly the control,  the game is literally unplayable with defult six axis control for most of people, you will probably give it up after 10 minutes or so.

I actually just finished the game recently with analog dlc, it's still quite challenging...but bearable. the music and dragon bitch slappings are quite good though.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Sorry I don't have an answer! I've been tempted to get it though, I saw it on Amazon for only £3.99 a while back.

its not actually that bad theres lots and lots of games on ps360wii that are far worse.

the problem with it is the expectation on the devs at the time, on paper and in video it looks superb.

but when you actually play it many hated the controls. i was actually ok with the controls, for me the let down was a frustrating mission structure on some of the levels. ie u have X amount of time to destroy this and then whilst that another sub mission is given that also has limited time, multiple goals at the same time was frustrating as hell.

t's ok :P no prob. At least I know I'm not alone.

It's horrible.

I rented it shortly after the patch came out and I still couldn't bear to make it through the first mission.

Playing with the SIXAXIS controls it just borders on the unplayable but looks like there *might* be a fun game underneath the bad. After trying with normal controls you uncover a whole new level of bad and not fun mechanics mixed with huge uninteresting levels.

Really, it's probably the second worst game I've played this gen (first being Lost: Via Domus).

I felt like 6 years old again, screaming and yelling at the damn game and almost throwing the PS3 out of the window.

i couldn't finish it the controls where so bad, this was before the analog patch tho i did like the psp connections as flawed as it is

It's not bad if you don't suck at video games like most of these people do. I've seen worse controls than this, proof is, I finished the game.

It wasn't as horrible as people say, but it was still wasn't that great. If you didn't quickly jerk around the controller and instead did slow and smooth movements, flying the dragon wasn't too bad. The controls that needed quick thrusts and such (like 180 degree turns, speed boost, and dragon vs dragon duals) were very hit or miss and were pretty frustrating. Overall, as long as you didn't have to maneuver in areas that were too tight you would be okay. There is a stealth mission that required you to avoid being seen by searchlights and you had to fly through a narrow area though... that level was VERY difficult for motion controls. I don't know how the dual analog controls were since I played it long before they were implemented.

Not only that, having multiple objectives happening at one time and poor voice acting barking at you every few seconds, regular gameplay could prove to be a chore. It was very similar to the Rogue Squadron games though in the end, it didn't have the Star Wars license to back it up. It could have used some more polish in pretty much all areas.
