LAIR Worth The Second Look

Initially when I played LAIR I had mixed feelings about the game. The graphics and sound are top notch and the overall game has very high production values. The story was well written and the characters have personality thanks to quality voice acting. On the other hand the SIXAXIS dragon flight controls could be very frustrating to even the most veteran of gamers so much so that you die more often from not being able to control your dragon's spastic flight. The lock-on system and lack of any targeting reticle also play into what I consider one of the worst gameplat decisions in recent history. However as the title of my reveiw indicates I have since downloaded the FREE update for LAIR that on top of including two additional dragons allows you to switch to analog flight and turn on a crosshair. Thank you Factor 5 for finally making LAIR, one of the game I was so looking forward to when I got my PS3, as fun as it is pretty. Though the game still suffers from last-gen design in terms of mission structure and truly feels like Star Wars Rogue Squadron with dragons instead of one the "alphabetically named wing" space ships it is still a fun game with an engaging story. Here's hoping that a sequel come out to expand upon the LAIR universe.
