This game received mixed reviews from the gaming press; it was praised for its graphics, artwork, art direction, soundtrack and sound quality. But it has also been highly criticized for its control scheme, and some gameplay elements such as the targeting system.
As a result Lair was unfortunately a commercial failure, but if you enjoy dark and impressive universe you will be pleased to play this game.
Lair is a game that takes place exclusively in a fantasy-medieval world and concerns a war between two civilizations the Asylian and the Mokai.
Lair s world has been threatened by numerous emerging volcanoes, which are causing the whole land to be destroyed and the air to be polluted.
Due to this incident, people have divided themselves into two kingdoms: the Mokai, whose lands are arid and depleted of resources, and the seemingly noble Asylians, who live in one of the last remaining bountiful, green areas, having all resources in abundance.
The Mokai are naturally angry against the Asylians and are completely desperate to gain their land. Aggressive Asylian leaders are leading in to the path of the inevitable after the Mokai launch a surprise attack from the rear.
You play as a dragon-riding knight named Rohn. You are given the tasks of defending a certain area, destroying certain objects, eliminating enemies or creatures, and other mission-based objectives.
After each stage, you can earn either gold, silver, or bronze medals, depending on performance during the level. A platinum medal is also available, though unlike the other three its requirements are hidden. By earning medals it can unlock combos and cutscenes videos that are terrific, giving you a real sense of the culture and backstory.
Moreover every two or three minutes a brief clip will remind you of your mission objectives, which is useful.
In Lair most of the game's battles are air-based combat, with some fought on the ground by landing the dragon and fighting troops and other land-based creatures.
In some locations, the game features a morale system tied to the enemy; the lower an enemy s morale, the less he will fight, and it is possible that he will retreat from combat.
The game relies heavily on the Sixaxis motion controls. You fly the dragon by tilting the controller, with additional moves also using motion sensing; one such example is fighting a dragon by tilting the controller to match the enemy dragon's flying height, and then slamming the controller left or right to knock the dragon sideways and out of the battle.
