Lair Description

Factor 5 has brought air-based combat to the PlayStation 3. If the phrase 'air-based combat' sounds a bit odd, it's because we can't say 'space combat' or 'Top Gun-alike'. Nope, Factor 5 has broken from tradition. Here be dragons! Factor 5 has something of a pedigree when it comes to flight and fighting. It has worked on, among other things, the Star Wars Rogue Squadron series. Now it's trying its luck at the other end of the escapist spectrum. The world of Lair is not a pretty place. Ravaged by conflict and natural disaster, war is upon the Asylian civilisation once again. Players will need to mount their reptilian winged steed, bred especially for combat both in the skies and on land, and set about saving civilisation. Lair makes full use of the SixAxis' motion sensitive control system, so you'll be diving, swinging 180 degree turns and attacking, all with a wave of your hand(s). Of course, the best/worst/scariest thing about Lair is the monsters. Well, to be more specific, you'll have to fight one particular monster that's a mile long. What does a beast like that eat!?

This game is ace, the controls, well, lets just say if you can dress yourself and have an IQ higher than 0.01 then you'll have no problems at all but fear not as there is an update that adds analogue control for those that can't dress themselves and have an IQ lower than 0.01

Played for about 5 mins before turning off. Very poor game no thought gone into making it. Thought son would have fun playing due to six axis controlls but he was as unimpressed as i was. DO NOT RENT AND DO NOT BUY.

Having launched the game played for under 5mins - this adventure failed to capture my imagination - neither did the graphics nor the poor story line and the fuzzy arrow in the top right corner that indicates - (badly) where the objectives are located. Sixaxis motion control very off putting tho motion control in a game can be useful - here not one bit. Get another game and avoid this one.
