    man, for a game that got so much hype, it failed miserably

    they should call it LIAR instead .... i guess


    Gamespot gives it a 4.5 - http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/lair/review.html?sid=6178017&tag=topslot;title;4

    IGN gives it a 4.9 - http://ps3.ign.com/articles/817/817117p3.html

    i guess it's some proof that the "SIXAXIS" was a bad idea

    So why was the SIXAXIS a bad idea in this game?

    This is only the third game I've bought for PS3, after NCAA and Madden.

    Only played the first mission but so far it's been fun. I am concerned that in harder real missions it's gonna be a pain to fly instead of enjoyable. I'll give a real opinion later once i've played it more.

    Next game, Tiger Woods.

    "Gameplay 4.5
    A bus-like feel and Sixaxis controls kill this game. In wide-open areas, it's okay, but the moment you need precision, you realize you’re screwed -- you can't corner, target or fight well."

    ^^^^^^:ha: :yes:

    I am still waiting for the PS3 to give me that next gen gaming experience that only the PS3 can provide.

    I do love me some Blu Ray though!

    Later

    First two missions have been fun.

    Targeting and flying can become difficult, and I was cussing at the screen some. But god forbid a game be fun and different ya know.

    I'll update this game in a few weeks once I've played through more of it....

    I will say, mainly due to the controls, it's not a game that I can probably play for much more than an hour at a time.

    It'll be interesting to see how later missions are, I can see the game become extremely frustrating, but hoping it won't be that way.

    seems like testers could have been able to realize that the sixaxis controls were going to be to cumbersome for a game like this; so then why not the option of turning of the motion controls and defaulting to a standard analog stick control ?

    I've never understood this about games. IF something is clearly not working right/a pain in the ***, why do they leave it in the game and release it?

    I Was pondering this earlier
    maybe there are deadlines
    some executive in an office upstairs need the product rolled out the door so work can begin on another project
    who knows
    what I do know is that this is two BIG flops for the console
    Mobile Suit Gundham (though not as hyped as Lair) probably wasn't even worth releasing

    sad state of affairs when 3 year old Xbox games are being counted on to keep yor system afloat

    Mobile Suit Gundam wasn't even hyped as anything. No one expected it to be good.
