Lair Review Roundup
September 4th, 2007 by James Hyde in Action, Adventure, PlayStation 3, Reviews
Lair, the dragon flying-something-something game used to amaze us with the gorgeous graphics, back in the E3 days. However, the final product is out now, and, well, it’s horrible. The game looks nice indeed, but the gameplay and especially the Sixaxis motion controls fail to deliver.
1UP (49/100) “Ultimately, Lair is a game that you’ll want for its eye-popping experience rather than its gameplay. So buy it if you want to justify all the thousands you spent on your PS3 and that 1080p HDTV you can see from the International Space Station.”
Gamespot (45/100) “This is the ultimate example of how gameplay suffers when all the work goes into making everything look pretty. There is nothing fun about it, so forget the online leaderboards and don’t worry about unlocking a few dragons in the stable or gunning for a high score. Forget Lair entirely.”
IGN (60/100) “At one point, Lair looked like one of the most promising titles coming to the PS3, but the final version — even with its interesting story, occasionally impressive graphics and amazing score — falls well short of anything you should be playing.”
