So, I've been waiting for Lair to come out for quite some time, and the several delays led me to believe maybe Factor 5 was having some PS3 issues or had generally bitten off more than they could chew, but the potential of this game was astounding.  I played the game for about an hour and a half the day it came out and my initial comments were "Wow the music is astounding" and "Damn, this is hard in parts".  The difficulty came mostly in the form of trying to get my dragon to do what I wanted it to with the sixaxis but on my second play it's really not that different than some of my experiences playing Decent Freespace, the last space shooter I had.  Your mind wants to instantly be able to do a 180 but your ship/dragon can't turn that fast.  There are a lot of controls and context sensitive actions that mastering makes the game more fun.  Probably THE most fun aspect is landing and burninating and eating soldiers.  I had people over last night and this part of the demonstration was met with cheers and applause.  I've read about the game chunking in 1080p, but since my projector is 720p I have not had this issue.

So, Lair is fun but probably did not live up to the hype and potential, which is too bad.  I hope some of the issues could be fixed with patches in the future.  But, it's fun and the music is freaking fantastic.  Lair is a better game than 4.9.
