So this link takes you to Joystiq's Metareview of Lair. For those unfamiliar with Lair it is the current PS3 "killer app". In the game you fly around on a dragon breathing fire on people in beautiful settings. Unfortunately as you can read here, the reviews haven't been kind. GameBrink gives it as low as a 40, with the average review being 57. Play magazine is beyond kind giving it a 90. It will be interesting to see if the reviews get any kinder as the week goes on. Lair was supposed to be a huge game for the PS3, but it looks like it's stumbling again.
Why am I so interested in this...cause it's once again Sony shooting themselves in the wings feet again. They didn't tell the developers about the Sixaxis controller until they were 9 months into making the game. Then the team has to scramble to figure out how to wedge in the motion controls in the game. As can be expected according to the reviews is that the motion controls kill the game. Call me shocked. When will the PS3 finally have it's system seller? Is it going to be Killzone 2? It's not due out til Spring '08........I hope Sony's 10 year plan allows them to be beaten silly by the Wii and Xbox 360 for a while.
