Lair Price Drops, A Lot

by Patrick Steen on December 8, 2007 at 1:29 pm

lair-reviewers-guide-713651-copy.jpg We reviewed L.A.I.R (that’s how the name looks on the box, though I don’t think the initials stand for anything) and like many others we weren’t overly impressed. Then again we might be tempted if it wasn’t full price, so hey, perhaps this is good news!

There was some incredible fuss over Lair – it’s like reviewers just loved to hate it, and it was the task of the next reviewer to out do the previous one. We’ve seen some similar behavior in Assassin’s Creed reviews, with it starting out as a 10/10 title, and then flying all the way down to 6/10. It was more extreme with Lair though.

Most of Lair’s problems appeared to be with the compulsory Sixaxis motion controls, and other niggling features that could have apparently been easily fixed. It all looked good with edible graphics and a musical score from the legend that is John Debney, but it fell at the final hurdle.

Perhaps its hype was its downfall. If no-one had heard of Lair before release, then maybe it would have faired better…and to be honest I’m quite a fan of motion controls in my games, with Warhawk giving me a little bit of flight control to my fingers.

Anyway, this is all vaporous, since the game is now on special offer at Amazon.com, priced at only $35. Some of the more pessimistic of you might think “Well that’s not a very special offer, I mean it is Lair.” But that is quite frankly rude! The game obviously needs our help and it can be played via remote play on your PSP without motion controls! Hurrah!

How couldn’t you buy it now? You could buy it for $35 and then either realise that it’s not actually that bad, or you could sell it on for little to no loss. What have you got to lose? Apart from precious hours of your time that is…
