BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. REALLY A PIECE OF ART! I 'm glad to have this game in my hands. At beggining, some difficulties to learn how to drive the dragon. After u learn, happines all te way and fun for hours. The sound and graphics are excellent, the dragons killing are amazing. I would made a LAIR 2 with some more dragons air fight in some chapters. Better than
I expected. Fun 4 sure.
Lair: lame motion based controls with amazing graphics. Lair is that type of game that already thrills you in the main menu for the first time. The graphics are excellent despite the explosions scenes which are poorly made. The aerial fights with other dragons are quite a sight. The creatures are all very detailed and the animations are beautiful and fluid. The soundtrack is even better than those available on several epic movies out there.
However the controls, playthrough and story are lame. The story is nearly a cliché with some twists and turns. There are two nations fighting for territories and there's all that war events and scenery we acknowledge, but here you fight with dragons, not with humans. The game is divided into several short levels which “break” the joy of continuously playthrough – also you will spend around one hour to handle the controls and you will want to turn the voices off because those guys love talking during the whole game specially when you’re in action and haven't accomplished an objective. They repeat the same sentence over and over until you finish that objective.
The controls are just like a flight simulator but here you control the dragons using the Sixaxis control. How you angle the control will determine the direction your dragon moves. Sometimes it’s really annoying because the game doesn’t understand if you shift the control around too abruptly and you’ll find yourself doing many accidental moves. When you’re in action, the game may interrupt it with an animation and you will lose sight of anything you were doing previously (most objectives are timed). After you finish each level you will be awarded with a trophy with special skills depending on your performance. If you were too lame, you will have to play that level again in order to obtain all awards. Lair is not that type of game where you sit down, relax and enjoy the producers’ efforts. Your back and fingers hurt. If you choose to play it without the motion sensor you will wish having more than ten fingers to control the dragon, shoot at enemies and to see who allies and enemies are (there are no maps). Also if you choose to use the cheats option in the main menu just for fun, be careful. If you activate it, the game won’t save and you will lose all your progress.
The game isn’t totally bad. What’s really annoying is this fact of forcing players using the Sixaxis technology spoiling all the fun and beautifulness of the game. Lair is just a dragons game not a flight simulator. That was the mistake after all.
Peice of Art This game is a peice of art, i enjoyed this game so much, once u get use to the controll u will be crazy the soundtrack is amazin the best game on 5.1 no wonder THX did the sound effect!
P.S. u need 30 to 40 min to master the controll
