So maybe Lair didn't get the reviews Sony, Factor 5, or even PS3 fanboys had hoped for. Sony, wanting to be nice, decides to send out an extensive fact sheet. . .6 out of 21 pages are for the controls. While IGN admits they receive these 'review guides' from developers often, you might think Sony/Factor 5 would have done better just taking the poor reviews and not saying a word.
All it will take is one or two hardcore PS3 fanboys to play through Lair and learn the controls aren't that bad. Then hundreds of gamers would try it out for themselves. Then again this would have taken time, maybe Sony needed this game to be a hit right at the release. Banking on good reviews to sell the game fast and since that didn't happen this was a last resort?
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
A reimagining of 5 disappointing video games and the masterpieces they could have been underneath other studios.
The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.
The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.
PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.
Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.
When this piece of flotsam indicated that "Being a clone of GTA shouldn't be that hard" I just closed the window.

To a certain extent, I think Sony went a little far as to publishing a reviewers guide which most people just made mockery of.
They should know that, regardless of how good the game is, people will always have something that they don't like about it. Is inevitable so I see no reason why they tried to even fix it.
Sony you should have just delayed the game for another few months and tell Factor 5 to allow alternative controls and tweak the game a bit more.
i played the game at EB today... i was really looking forward to this game, but it really does suck....and the controls didnt even bother me that much.
well the controls don't suck,and the game is very enjoyable. They still should have had the option to switch, however if they did that would really make this game not that unique. The way you fly is what makes this game stand out for me. Otherwise whats the point??
If the game is good it will sell anyways. Let's wait and see.
