Summary

Factor 5 has brought air-based combat to the PlayStation 3. If the phrase 'air-based combat' sounds a bit odd, it's because we can't say 'space combat' or 'Top Gun-alike'. Nope, Factor 5 has broken from tradition. Here be dragons!

Factor 5 has something of a pedigree when it comes to flight and fighting. It has worked on, among other things, the Star Wars Rogue Squadron series. Now it's trying its luck at the other end of the escapist spectrum.

The world of Lair is not a pretty place. Ravaged by conflict and natural disaster, war is upon the Asylian civilisation once again. Players will need to mount their reptilian winged steed, bred especially for combat both in the skies and on land, and set about saving civilisation.

Lair makes full use of the SixAxis' motion sensitive control system, so you'll be diving, swinging 180 degree turns and attacking, all with a wave of your hand(s).

Of course, the best/worst/scariest thing about Lair is the monsters. Well, to be more specific, you'll have to fight one particular monster that's a mile long. What does a beast like that eat!?
