Well I think this game is very good. I usually agree with most reviews, so I don't understand all the harsh criticism for this game. To be honest, this is the first game I bought when I got a ps3, because I wanted to see if it was actually that bad.

I bought the game to see if it actually was as bad as I had heard. It's okay, nothing spectacular, but not TERRIBLE. Plus, you ride dragons, and any game where you ride dragons can't be that bad.

Prolly my favorite rental in history, not good enough to buy though. All those people bitching about the controls are stupid and fail at life. Not only did I think they weren't dumb, I actually thought they were perfect. I wouldn't have changed them any other way. Not worth a purchase though, as it gets old and there are some glitches.

anyone who doesn't know how to play Lair, look at my blog at gametrailers.com or 1up.com. I have at least one gold medal, and the game is easy to me because there are little tips that turns this game from a steep learning curve to a few little bumps. Once I get the cheat codes for different dragons 'n' other cheats, I'll post them there too...

Don't let the first or second level trick you, this game is a failure, bad controls, screen tearing, bad framerate, i don't know how i could go so far in this game but i can't bring myself to finish it.

Don't buy it please

Very underrated game in my opinion. I own it and it is very enjoyable. Yeah the Sixaxis controls are difficult for the first 10-15 minutes but once your used to them they are not bad at all.

The gaming community have become total sheep to editorial reviews.

I totally believe if reviewers gave any new IP (like Heavenly Sword, Zak & wiki, R:fom etc) a 4 or 5 rating that gamers nowadys would totally believe them and view them as crap.

This game is an incredible game with fantastic production quality. I love it and it's my favourite single player game so far this gen.

Got this for my Birthday, the control is excellent it’s the best thing in the game (if you know how to handle it of course), the story is good, the graphics are great but…

The actually missions are repetitive and some times damn frustrating, the biggest flaw of the game is the lack of check points, you play for 15 min then if you die you have to play it all over again, I spent more than 2 hours in one stage cause I always got killed at the end of it. Also the damn THX screen at the beginning of the game I mean for real almost a minute of my life get wasted watching a robot listening to some cow mows every time I want to play…

I say give it a rent and spend a few minutes learning the controls as I said it’s the best thing in the game and that alone is somehow fun.

6.3/10

Frustrating at first, but it can be very rewarding once you nail down the controls. There is no denying it's Presentation and Sound Quality though, very good indeed.

I give it a 6 quite deservedly. Actual vote!

At it's base, it's an 8 game that's fun. But then, minor issues keep popping up, more and more and and more.. (Repeat x127). Eventually, you gotta begin docking marks for that I'd say, some people are harsher than others, and some people are so desperate for games on a system they they'll ignore the hundreds of minor issues.

the game is fun, though a little bit short and it definitely needs some polish in a couple areas (lock ons, 180 turns, too many in game cutscenes)

but it has awesome graphics, music, and fun gameplay.

i would give it around an 8.

@globox

Thats your opinion, Leo-j's opinion is that the game is good. I think gamespot and IGN wanted to give this game a low socre even before they got the game. So they went way to harsh on the motion control which isnt perfect but not as bad as they make out.

According to you PS3 has no bad game, they are all great!!! Even someone as me who is huge PS3 fan(not fanboy) has hard to belive in that.
Just go away you are so boring! Lair looks good but sucks ball of a donkey when it comes to gameplay.

This game is a solid 8 and is the poster child for Sixaxis motion control. My only gripe with the game is the wonky stops, and pauses before and after in game cutscence. Other than that one problem it is a game with great graphics, world class sound, and intuitive gameplay. If you have any interest in Lord of the Rings this will be an enjoyable game that you will be proud to have in your collection.
