Lair Gets First Reviews….not so good!

By Richard Windsor | July 29, 2007

In a few days those who have subscriptions to EGM will be thumbing through the review section and see something that might make them upset. The highly anticipated PS3 game Lair was given three less-than-spectacular reviews. Scores of 6.0, 5.5, and 5.0 were given because of a confusing combat system, poor Sixaxis controls, and a jacked-up lock-on system. A “frustrating disappointment” was the ultimate consensus for the title.

I don’t always trust every review that I read, but when three different people bash a game like this it scares me into reconsidering a purchase. Sounds like Lair just got a lot more popular on Gamefly. To be fair, we still need to wait and see how well the game does with a much larger sample of reviewers before passing final judgment. August 14th should be interesting.

Do these early reviews make you reconsider your plans to buy Lair, or are you tired of playing Resistance? Let us know in our comments section. Pssst…If you are reconsidering Lair make sure and pick up Rainbow Six Vegas, it should get you through for another month or so.
