 Lara's Back, 2007-07-21
This game is visually much more stunning than the original Tomb Raider that inspired it and other than some of the challenges being a bit frustrating, it's every bit as entertaining as all of the tomb Raider games before. Only complaint is the game "engine" still has a few funky things to it that occasionally make it hard to do certain jumps or maneuvers. but never the less .... highly recommended!

 Frustrating, 2007-07-20
The game alternates between acrobatic maneuvers that are somewhat difficult but managable, and battles that are nearly impossible to win. Overall, I found it very frustrating to get to the big battles and get killed repeatedly, and finally gave up without completing the game.
 Fun and runs on modest hardware, 2007-07-19
I'm not a gamer, but kick back with the Tomb Raider series for fun. I have a modest non-gaming system with a low-end 3D card, and the frame rates are decent.
This game has the graphics of Legend with the much greater challenge of the classic series.

Worth Every Cent, 2007-07-15
This isn't the same as Warcraft, Halo, Fear, or Quake, but that's precisely what I like with the autonomy of the (lovely, accomplished acrobatic) Lara Croft.
I played the first Tomb Raider sometime in '98 or '99. It was so refreshingly thrilling to be able to re-live that all over again, but of course, with amazing, awesome graphics (I believe they keep you trying and RE-trying again at certain spots, so that you can keep admiring the hard work of their graphics. Like Part 4 of the Lost Valley...that whole section where you have to jump two slopes to get to the horizontal pole - ARGH!!! I spent two hours on that).
Having to find all the artifacts and relics, in order to unlock "goodies", only serves to make the game more addictive. I spent a full (infuriating) hour just learning how to use the grapple hook, but the one hour of learning is worth it. After all, there's the groovy Croft Manor and gym to practice in as well.
That being said, I was about halfway through, when my profile got erased by another user of my computer. Bum-mer. But I'm not complaining too much, coz it's that fun to go back to the start all over again. I've had 50% of the exploration fix and oh, there is that time trial to try...
Ooh, and by the way, I think this game seriously helps in the spatial development of teens/anyone. Your estimation skills are sharpened (with all those jumps across broken bridges, climbing up ledges, shooting enemies, doing wall runs, etc).

Adventure to the max, 2007-07-15
This is a really fun game! I bought it for my son on his birthday on July 2nd. He really liked it and so did his brother. Computer games are the best and much more reasonably priced than the console games. You can do so much more with a computer game than with an xbox or playstation or something like that. This is a fantastic game! Tomb Raider is always a winner in my book! Lara Croft is sexy and she rocks in this game! She is also very smart and a great athelete and she has so many skills! I wish I had her energy and beauty! I think I am jealous of her. Oh well, I am just a mama anyways, not a video game character.
