 Great graphics, 2007-08-28
This game plays a lot like legend. There is not enough combat action for me. It seems like there are too many jumping puzzles to solve. The puzzles can be very frustrating. The graphics are great. It plays even smoother than legend did on my pc.

 Buggy w/extended "timed" obstacles on top of poor control, 2007-08-28
At first game was smooth visuals, like the one before it, "Legend" was too, but offered more fun and better controls. Saving the game can only happens at certain intervals and several times conditions were so hard to accomplish I would have to play a hundred times or more to finally pass the exercise or choose to bypass it due to extreme problems with improper control or it just being too hard to accomplish. Many times I checked for updates but none to be found. Touched upon a blog for help and a few suggestions were found from new friends, but seemed mostly like buggy glitches in the game were worked around somehow, other than won by sharpening ones expertise in the game. About half way through, I decided to uninstall the game as it became so increasing difficult I was soon just trying to move on without accomplishing very hard tasks that were needed to find relics and such. No sense in continuing if having to leave behind all the relics. The new "wall traversing", was sorely buggy and hard to manage as I think it was really intended. I would have to get past that, which didn't work correctly, even after a myraid of prevously hard jumps and grabs, and then the event was even "timed" on top of it all! I felt like some cruel game producer was trying to torture me. That which started as fun entertainment, soon became torturous and painstaking!
Not to mention that the puzzles can't just be solved by oneself anymore, they are so hard I found them impossible to do without a guide from the internet or a book. What fun is that if you have to read how to solve something "ALL THE TIME!"...... it should be do-able without having to use a guide. Just too hard and a problem instead of a fun mystery, sorry, I just gave up. Very dissapointed, but Legend was great so I may go back in a year or so and get some of the older Tomb Raiders that were just before Legend and play them. Right now I am disgusted that I paid some $30 for this one and disenchanted from trying others for some time to come for now! I will probably just not play them anymore, the way I feel right now. She didn't even look sexy with some top on up to her neck. Couldn't change her apparel, she would get dirty as time went on. Was like she needed a shower and clean clothes, disgusting. Sorry, maybe I can sell it ........ no, wouldn't want to ask money for something as frustrating as this, guess I will just eat it. Too bad, was expecting something way better. How they can go to so much trouble to ruin a good game is beyond me? Why do they do that? Something with so much potential and just ruin it? Sad!

 NOT FOR GROWN-UPS, 2007-08-14
If you're a kid with finely-honed, millisecond-sharp gaming instincts, developed over years of repetitive play, you'll probably have a great time. If you're a grown up who, like me, thought you were buying an enjoyable game whose primary challenge is puzzle-solving, then you're screwed. The game is gorgeous, easy to learn, and easy to play. The levels and puzzles are challenging and fun. But when I came to the first BIG boss, the T-Rex, I got destroyed. And then again. And again. And on and on and on... It's one of those shooting sequences where you have to hit EXACTLY the right sequence of keys, at EXACTLY the right millisecond, and then do the whole thing over again several times. If you make the slightest mistake (there's ZERO margin of error here), you're dead, and have to start all over. After 30 or 40 tries, I said "screw it," and packed up the game. Thirty bucks, flushed. Oh well, live and learn. Grown-ups: stay away. Everyone else: I'll be selling mine on eBay.
 Great Game, 2007-08-13
I was a big fan of the original on the Sony Playstation. It totally immerses you, and it comes with plenty of surprises along the way. It is graphically beautiful, and the atmospheric sound effects are ominous. I would give it a 9.3 out of 10 as far as games go.

Like the original game only better!, 2007-08-09
I've often thought that the original Tomb Raider game was great but when I would go back to play it I was disappointed with the way it looked. This is like the original game but with lots more to do and beautiful graphics. Lara looks a lot better too. At first I thought that it was not challenging enough then I thought that that it was TOO challenging! (Dang Centaurs!). You Tube was a great help. It had videos of how to beat the bosses and how to navigate the tricky spots. I highly recommend this game!
