Sony Worker's Son Gets Final Release of Lair Early

A lucky kid over at the official US PlayStation Boards received a copy of Lair early. How did he do it? He claims his mom works for Sony and got him an early final release. Now most people wouldn't believe a story like this, because for one, he has around 16 posts, and for two, everyone uses the "my parent works at Sony" excuse.

But he backed it up, knowing he might of been flamed. He attached tons of images of the Packaging, Blu-Ray Disc, Manual, Gameplay, and even a little review. To start it off he first said "basically, f*ck the reviews". He claims the controls were very easy to learn in the beginning 5 minute tutorial.

The member, Zacharoni, has answered some questions about the game including how you receive new dragons, the game length, boss fights, etc. His final rating for the game is an 8.5-9.0/10. Heres his list of pros and cons:

The Pros:
  • The Motion sensor movement is great. It brings a new aspect to the game, and I feel like its more interactive. Sometimes I just to loop-de-loops just for fun, because it's so entertaining to fly around.
  • The battles are great, and you basically get to pwn the little soldiers, and you destroy ships and enemy Dragons. Also, they have special goals like "Take Bombs from the Carrier monsters and blow up the city (thats real, and its really fun)."
  • The different things you can do in the battles is good too. You can Land on the ground and charge into enemies.
  • You can take the skies and Incinerate catapults and ships from afar.
  • And you can Get close and personal in Scratching battles against other dragons, which includes different Button Key Combos that create strong attacks and kill the enemy Dragons.
  • Also, the graphics... oooo the graphics. My TV is old, so It doesn't have HDMI... but the graphics are still amazing. In battle and in Cutscenes, I feel like I'm really there.
The Cons:
  • It's pretty difficult. I was stuck on a level that is really hard, which includes having to dodge spotlights, which if see you, you would be shot on sight, and it's not all easy to dodge the lights. Then you have to single handedly take out at least 50 dragons. Frustrating to have to do that over and over and still lose.
  • Also, one thing about battles is the Lock On System. When i lock on to something, and I kill it, my camera suddenly spins to the way my controller is facing. Annoying, and I lose my sense of direction.
