 Tomb Raider....Code Name Veronica, 2003-06-23
Is more fitting as Lara's latest adventure plays more like a Resident Evil Game than a Tomb Raider Game. No, Cancel that, The Resident Evil Series is far more playable.
One of the beauties of the orginal games was the Gameplay, crisp , responsive controls..nearly glitch free. After playing the original games for a few hours, everything became intuitive, the control scheme, gameplay (jumps,running, sliding, climbing), what Lara could and Couldn't do
So what do we have with this game? Rubbery controls, a floating Camera that is truly annoying. I found my self centering the Camera behind Lara everytime I turned her, or jumped on a crate..tons of needless button mashing! and Glitches , Glitches, glitches, (e.g. sometimes Lara will not climb onto a crate for some reason, or she will get pinned against a wall, and can't move etc...)
The Stealth componenet is just silly as is the "Body part" power ups...("I feel Stronger). Note to Edios...Play Metal Gear to see how a true stealth game is made..and leave it out of the next game!!! Lara is NOT A Navy SEAL, she is an Archaeologist...!!
The Premise of the game is good, and i liked that aspect, very much, but as usual with Eidos..they get "wowed" by thier own cleverness in the graphics department and overkill it (See TR III's dynamic lighting effects)...so much so that the most important aspect suffers...gameplay!
We can only hope that the next game returns us to what we were expecting in this one..an actual Tomb Raider game! with GOOD Gameplay and Tight Crisp Controls.

Should have waited to release, rather than sacrifice quality, 2003-06-22
This is, by far, the most bug filled game I have ever played. The new control system is extremely clumsy and will leave Lara die-hards wondering what the developers were thinking when they decided to revamp the old one. I hate to say it, but I think EIDOS was more concerned about not missing another promised release date and sent out an unfinished product; the obvious quality issues are apparent in the first chapter and get progressively worse. I would not be surprised if the company has to issue a recall for this defective product. On a positve note, the improved graphics are beautiful, but are hard to appreciate because of the frustrating gameplay.

 NOT IMPRESSED, 2003-06-22
Just got the game....NOT IMPRESSED! These 5 star reviews must have been written by the makers of the game, cuz this player thinks it [stinks]. Lara's movements are slow and chunky. Movements that used to be simple, such as jump back to get a run forward, has turned into spin Lara around, walk, and spin around again...and since this changes your view of the surroundings it's easy to get confused (camera angles [stink] too) Lara's control is a nuisance and it's NOT worth my time to play this game.
