Yeah but Callan you dont want to go out, spend $100 on a game only to hate it do you. Reviews are there for a reason, you dont just take into account 1 single review, you look across the board and if they are all trashing a game, i think its safe to say the game wont be all that

that's true ectozar but not everyone likes the metal gears & gta games and look at the scores they have recieved. at the end of the day it is all just an opinion that is why i'll still be buying hs regardless of it's mixed reviews

im probally going to import it, and the main reason it is getting poor reviews is of the motion sensing only controls which people say they take a while 2 get used 2 but they r good

i think the only reason reviewers are bagging it out is because they have a very short time to play it maybe a few days and i dont think they get time to get used to the controls

I tend to be skeptical of IGN reviews after they trashed Kingdom hearts 2, which I believe to be far superior to the original in many ways, as well as a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I agree with Callan in that not everyone likes GTA & MGS games. As much as I have tried, these are two games which I really cannot get into.

IGN need to be less subjective with their games, offer a more diverse opinion. Although I must say, as skeptical as I am, I do prefer to reserve judgement until I have had hands on experience with the actual game.

I disagree Katie.
I understand people have different taste in games.

My rant, I strongly believe with the amount of garbage littered across the store shelves people are buying "meh" games, and what do i care. I care about when a really bad game gets more sales!!then a highly develop game which doesn't get the sales. Your supporting the developer by saying well done team I support the creative game design and gameplay, further funding for a sequel. Why don't great games sell and crap games do?! by this your encouraging the lack of innovation, and accepting games like you know Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, who thought that game would've turned out soo bad as it did. People need to know the good and bad games. The game journos are just trying to help. It would be sad to see a game as bad as sonic, genji etc.. do better then bioshock for example. If i bought something just for the visuals I'll buy a blu-ray movie thats pretty hardcore.

I guess it really comes to to whether you like the sixaxis control scheme. I personally hate it and would NEVER use it in a game.
Its shocking in Motorstorm & Warhawk, the only two games ive tried it on. And From what the review says, Lair's sixaxis imprementation is even worse than these two. And the lock-on system sounds very dodgy.

Games should be limited with the amount of six axis used, and definatly not force it upon gamers such as lair has done.

Yeah I'm not really sure whether I like the motion controls either. As I just tried it on Warhawk and was harder than normal controls in my opinion!

I do know what you are saying lovely Stonecold BUT i'm not actually suggesting to promote s*** games im simply saying that a game isnt necessarily f**** if a website or journalist or whatever says so, no game is El-Cheap-O because every individual has there own opinion, i will be buying Lair, not becuase it recieved a f*** score, but because i think i'll enjoy it as i love dragons

Ends slutty rant & yes, blu ray movies are hardcore hun

Its just been said that Lair can also be played on the PSP through the PS3's remote play functionality.

Taken from PS3Fanboy saying, "this is quite possibly the first Blu-ray PS3 game to run successfully on the PSP. By reducing the visual quality and increasing the response time, the game is actually quite playable. In fact, because the game uses the PSP's analog stick instead of tilt controls, it actually controls better than the PS3 counterpart."

What does everybody think?

I think its pretty cool! In fact so cool I put it up in the news! I mean no matter how bad a review how cool is that! I guess we will see more games incorporating Remote Play. Well I hope we do.... Rear view mirror? Maps? More full PS3 2PSP games? It would be cool, when say the Mrs wants to watch her favourite soap just when you got to a good bit in a game…..

I'd have to say that a game that can be played via remote play makes the game more attractive to buy.

I wonder, if you save the game in remote play, will it save it to your psp memory stick or the PS3 HDD?
