I participated in a test session of this game in late alpha. Of our group of 10 people, everyone complained that the controls were terrible. There was one woman who had to leave the paid testing sessions because she had so little control, she couldn't play the game let alone test it. All the testers agreed the game looked amazing, we all wanted to ride on dragons and breathe fire but we couldn't because no one could control their character. The game shipped in the same state we tested it in.

I'm noticing a pattern with them. They both have the protagonist start off with the "bad guys" and as soon as you joined the "good guys" the difficulty ramps up. The early 360 exclusives were also kind of weird but they aged a lot better in my opinion if you like weird games.

I still love this game besides the fact that it is very, very rough around the edges. I feel it did capture the chaos of a battle raging simultaneously in the air, land and water, as well as the visceral brutality and speed of the dragons fighting each other. I stuck with it and got quite good at the analog controls purely because I love dragons. I remember playing Dragon Rage on the PS2 and how unclear the objectives were in that game as well (and it just overall not being very good). I keep hoping that some developer will re-visit this idea but I don’t think it will happen sadly.

I played it last year for the first time with analog controls on. Honestly it can be real good in its best moments, I particularly remember the assault on the big fortress at night at the 4-5th chapter being quite impressive. But the objectives can get weirdly obtuse later on and the frame rate issues just keeps getting worse, so I only got halfway through. Even with the analog controls there are still many actions that can be frustrating to do. Also, check out the game's soundtrack, it's very underrated IMO.

Find it funny and sad that Nintendo and Miyamoto themselves started this error a few years later with the controls. Reminds me of the Star Fox game for the WiiU, which I also own. The game also went through development hell and the studio was even changed or another one was brought in, believe Platinum Games so that a working game can come onto the market at all. Unfortunately, Miyamoto had the last word on development and he really wanted to use the Wiiu gamepad and show how great the Wiiu gamepad is and how it beats the competition and no other developer really understood the pad's functions. Therefore, the Star Fox game was not allowed to be played with the Pro Controller or normally with the gamepad. What came out of it was just terrible and ultimately killed the game and probably the franchise. to this day he says that no one has understood how good the gamepad and controls from star fox were for the wiiu. So much for the subject understand the customer and give the customer what you want as the customer is king

If you change the PS3's resolution to 720p you'll get a better fps. If it's at 1080p you'll get worse performance. Most PS3 games are 1080p upscaled. Only a few PS3 games were 1080p native. Games like Ico HD and God of War Collection Volume 2 and Ridge Racer 7. Putting the resolution of God of War Collection Volume 2 at 720p gets you a locked 60fps at 1080p it dips when you use magic abilitys.

Fun fact! The game got a patch so your can use the analogues instead of motion controls. It's a way better game once your playing it with analogue controls. To patch it just highlight the games icon and press triangle and you'll see the option to update the game. I can't imagine playing this game without the patch and with motion controls. The game has some free dlc also on the PS3 store. Also switch the PS3's resolution to 720p you'll get a better experience from Lair as the fps will be more stable. Having your PS3 at 1080p doesn't benefit you for the vast majority of games, you'll only get a worse framerate. Only a few PS3 games were 1080p native. It's best to set the PS3 to 720p.

I completed this game with the Sixaxis (without the patch) and this is one of the games that I urgently wanted to succeed because I adored the whole game, concept, graphics, music etc. from the beginning on. The devs originally planned to do an open world game but Sony for some reason forced them to do a more linear style game. The controls felt great at the beginning, you really felt like flying a beast but it soon got annoying especially at the "Damm Mission" where you have to destroy 4 damms. The game didn't register my movements properly for some unknown reason, so I shook the controller like a psycho (I still felt the pain in my hands the next day, which hasn't happened to me in any game to date).

It was hilarious seeing you shaking the controller in one hand in utter frustration lol. I remember buying Lair a few years after it came out, however I only played the first hour or so and then sold it.

@Frogs_R_Cool Yeah I was confused why he was having issues with it. I enjoyed it once it was patched and I played with analogue controls. To patch it you just highlight the game icon and then press triangle and then scroll over the the update option. The game even has some free dlc on the PS3 store.

I remember playing Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Lair, Resistance 1 and Genji on my PS3 back in 2007/2008 The most depressing thing about Lair was the sixaxis pushed by Sony really messed up the game, update did help. What really sucked was watching Factor5 go bankrupt after this game when they had been one of the best third party devs in the industry, they made Rogue Squadron 1-3.

Fun fact. The game was developed by Factor-5, the legendary Amiga developer team from Germany who was very known for the Turrican series of games and their innovative technology with sound mixing. Following the failure of Lair, they went defunct. Regardless it was partially a fault of Sony because they pushed for “sisaxis” controls as opposed to something more similar to what players knew from DualShock controls.
