And shocking mistake number 3 is the framerate. Running in 1080p you’ll have several situations where the game chugs like no other. Massive amounts of enemies will make the game a slideshow and will ultimately lead to you breaking something. Protip: clear out the valuables before you play Lair.




Unfortunately the dragon fights are the worst.
Ok now here’s the one no one will believe until they play the game themselves. The graphics aren’t that great. I don’t know how they pulled off screens and videos that make this game look amazing all the time but it’s just not all that. Sure at times it can look amazing but too often enemies look low resolution and the drab brownish color that the entire game exudes makes what you’re looking at blend into one indistinguishable pile of pixels.

Ok now for the few minor pluses. The cinematics are incredibly gorgeous. They’re really the only thing that kept me going. That and the story that unfolds in movie like fashion was great. Maybe they should repackage Lair as a straight to Blu-Ray epic CG movie?

• Cinematics

• Sixaxis gameplay is horrible
  
• Targetting is worthless
  
• Slowdown happens a lot
  
• Missions are boring for the most part
