Sony sends out Lair Reviewer’s Guide

In light of the mixed reactions about Lair and its controls, Sony recently sent out copies of a full-color Reviewer’s Guide of Lair. The full-color 21-page booklet seems to instruct those who had been tasked to critique the game on how to properly utilize the game’s controls for maximum dragon-slaying fun, as well as elaborate illustrations and Lair lore.

While it’s common for review copies of games to come with fact sheets – and retail copies with manuals – this certain reviewer’s guide contains six pages extensively discussing the game’s controls. That’s almost a third of the whole book!

Motion-sensing control quirks aside, Lair itself looks quite the epic game, with you and your dragon taking on sea serpents, armored beasts of war, entire platoons of soldiers, and even enemy dragons. It’s also one of the more visually-stunning games to date. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, then, that Sony and Factor 5 use what they’ve learned in Lair and create a new title that would once again blow us away.
