 NOT FOR GROWN-UPS August 14, 2007
13 out of 18 found this review helpful
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 August 13, 2007
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! August 9, 2007

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!

Where to start. This game definetely shows how the Tomb Raider series has progressed over the last decade in terms of graphics and new ideas and challanges. If you love the orginal Tomb Raider then this game is a must buy. Graphics are extradanary, the added puzzles and new moves such as the wallride gives the gamer a brand new intrest in an old lovable game.
The intresting thing to note is the levels are not exactly the same as the orginal, so it keeps experienced gamers on there toes so the speak, The creators add little parts to the levels which in my book deserves recognition, so I didn't feel like playing the exact game as the orginal.
The only negative things I would have to say is sometimes the camera angles is at your disadvantage and sometimes you need to guess on your jumps, and there is a bug in the game you get if you jump wrong, rare, but none to less there.
Great game, Great replay value too. I reccomend it to all Tomb Raider fans and anybody interested in playing the series.

I haven't been playing many video games lately, but when I read the high praise being given to this game I decided to get it and see if it could bring back some of the enjoyment of old TR games. I will say the graphics are beautiful and Lara's moves aren't so mechanical, but the game play is no better and in many ways inferior to past games. The bulk of game is 3 jumps & a grapple throw - repeated until boring, with the a few switch pulls - never very tricky - pick-ups that are pointed out by glowing orbs, box pushes and a bit of shooting. Highly repetitive and becomes very predictable once you get the feel for it. Sadly the way too short Manor level comes closer to being like TR of old. I guess some fans will argue that any decent game is better than the last two Core versions and maybe I should be happy with what I have, but it seems like a pale imitation compared to the glory days of the '90s
