It's OK, screen looks less crisp and vivid
on January 21, 2012
Posted by: tyowen
from Baraboo, WI
It was installed by BB and in that regard it's perfect. No bubbles or imperfections. However, the screen looks much less crisp and vivid. It's almost pixelated like an old tube TV. It does a great job of protecting the screen from 2 yr old fingers, but that's about all I like it for.
What's great about it: Great protection, perfect BB installation
What's not so great: Screen looks much worse than without it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is flat out the best game the PS3 has to offer. Everything about this game is near perfect. Even if you haven't played any of the previous games, it's worth picking up. Of course, you'll get more out of the game if you've been a fan of the others, but the story is told in a way that it recaps the previous games as well. I can't say enough good things about it. The graphics are phenomenal, the controls are great, the sound is very impressive, there are tons of weapons, and the story is very enveloping. If you have a PS3, you need to play this game. It's that simple.
What's great about it: Graphics, Sound, Story, Gameplay
What's not so great: None

A flat-out fun game
on May 3, 2008

This is just flat-out fun game to play. The graphics are excellent, the sound is good, and the controls are precise. There is enough variety of gameplay and unlockable items and features to keep you playing until you get 'em all. I own all the previous games in this series and they are all among the top games in the genre. It's not a bloody, gory, over-the-top killing spree like some games, but it's fun to play and really shows off some of what the PS3 is capable of. I've beat it twice now and it's just as fun the second time with more enemies and a higher skill level.
What's great about it: great graphics, good control, tons of weapons
What's not so great: none really

I waited for this?

I was truly disappointed by this game. I preordered Lair based on the hype surrounding it and the prospect of flying a fire-breathing, enemy-chomping, carnage-laying dragon! It's an OK game, but I was just very dissapointed cuz I was expecting a better gameplay experience. Makes me mad that they kept delaying the release, only to come out with a game that I would not have bought if I'd known what it would turn out like. Oh well, such is life.
What's great about it: Graphics, sound
What's not so great: Tilt controls, expected a better game
