Currently playing: Lair

And I kind of like it, it’s not at all as bad as the reviews would have you think (like gamespot’s 4.5 out of 10).

But I’m only on my forth mission, and apparently it gets more frustrating later. Still, I like using the sixaxis function, it’s fun and feels natural in this game. The dragon is not as hard to control as I’ve read (yet anyway), in fact I think flying it is a pretty smooth zen-like experience, not because it’s easy to make it do what you want when precision is required, but even failing feels smooth, somehow.

Edit: One thing though… it’s somewhat annoying that you only have three lives and then have to restart the mission. So if you fail at the end of the mission you have to replay sections you just beat just to get there. Gets old quickly. It does help raising the stakes a little, which isn’t all bad, but it isn’t as good as it is bad, so to speak.
