Game Podunk Review - LAIR: Blazing Flight or Crash and Burn

8
When Lair was first released, gamers bemoaned the poor Sixaxis controls. However, now that a patch is available (which supposedly remedies these problems), is the game worth picking up after all? TYLERxDURDEN gives his take.

Yeah, apparently the patch really makes the game a lot better. I might have to try it myself as well.

1.2 - This is just stupid.
The sixaxis controls are great! I don't understand the big fuss about 'em. Probably just some people early this gen with a grudge aganst motion controls. ...I dunno. I really enjoyed them. Guess I'm the only one.

Lair.... what a waste. Such good conceptual stuff and production values in there.

I'm thinking of adding it to my Gamefly queue so I can give it a shot.

3.1 - That's how I played it.
Firtst game GF sent me. And the first time I realised that game reviews can be WAY off from my personal opinion.

I liked it, personally. I was a fan of the Rogue Squadron series though despite its issues. Lair still looks freaking awesome by today's standards when you are on the ground thrashing troops, man it looks cool.

5 - Reviews crucified this game.
Aside from the small problems like the six axis controls (which weren't even that bad IMO, the sheer scale of the game made locking on a bit harder), once you switch analog stick controls it's a very great game in my opinion.

If you're a fan of dragons or flight sims and want to try something new, get this game (it's usually cheap) as it's a great buy. They should have offered the option to switch to analog stick controls when it launched and I think it would've fared a lot better despite smaller issues mentioned in that review.
