Synopsis

Lair is a next gen title that incorporates high flying acrobatics and immense environments with spectacular dragon duels and vast battling armies to bring you one of the most anticipated games for the PS3.

Review Scores

Lair is definitely a stupendous game with astonishing gameplay, beautiful graphics, and a soothing soundtrack. The only thing that dents Lair from becoming all that it potentially could have been is definitely the temperate replayability that arises from the linear gameplay. Despite all these issues, the game inculcates a sense of visceral excitement to anyone who gets his/her hands on it.
Pros
  • + Unparalleled graphics
  • + Astonishing storyline and incredible soundtrack
  • + Great Sixaxis controls and precision aiming
Cons
  • - Linear gameplay makes for a slight tease
  • - FMV's instead of live real-time cinematics
  • - Moderate replayability
   8.5
