    It's ok so far. No game of the year contender. A bit boring if you ask me. Story is ? so far.

    It's called "Tomb Raider" yet you hardly raid tombs. You basically just walk in, open a box and take the treasure. Puzzles are kindergarten level.

    This game is exactly what is wrong with gaming. Just a load of cinematic ? . No real challenge. ? is easy as ? and boring.


    Then they add about a million "hidden packages" just make the game last a longer.


    Why do they think we love treasure hunting so much? Hilarious.


    ...and I'm sick to death of these ? shanty town back drops.

    I know I'm late as a mf, but I just finished the game. Anyone thinkin about renting this game, don't. It's not a Tomb Raider game, it's just a bs generic, linear 3rd person adventure game. Graphics are cool, cutscenes and set pieces are cool, but substance? There is none. Easy, and short too.

    Just finished and gotta say I enjoyed it. Enjoyed it a lot matter of fact. The single player campaign maybe the best I've played in quite a while. Great presentation, great game play, great graphics, great sounds, and good story. Not a fan of the multiplayer, in fact, I say the game doesn't need it at all. Hopefully, some good single player DLC comes out later down the line. Preferably something that adds to the story as some of ME3 dlc did. I'd love to have some reasons to play it again.

    Only bad thing is that once you've finished it, there's really no reason to replay it. So I'd say it's good for a weekend rental. Took me about 9 hours or so to beat it. A day and a half. Got 67% completion, but I didn't really go out my way to explore. Just did enough to get the upgrades I wanted and kept it moving. And the quick time does get annoying, but they simplify it at least. The buttons you'd use during game play serve the same purpose in cinema's.

    Read a lot of reviews how bout people complaining that's it's not a true tomb raider game. A valid argument with good points made on their side. I for one hated all the previous tomb raiders for many of the reasons they enjoyed it.

    But I'm a action junkie and this game delivered that.

    This game is sick!! Really immerses you into the character.

    They borrowed what was good from other games and made this. Like a dark version Uncharted maybe. Survival aspects of Far Cry with the adventure and strategy of Uncharted and exploration from Assassin's Creed, blended together well.

    Just completed it. The developers are lame as ? for putting photos of themselves in the credits.

    Love it when Lara first dual-wields the pistols. Just looks so damn right!


    A Survivor Is Born. Will check for the sequel although I do have my problems with this game.

    Completed it at 74% without going back to find everything. Don't think I'll be playing it again.


    Will probably trade this and Dead Space 3 in for Bioshock.

    I could have save my money on this game this nothing more than a button prompt simple ass game w/a simple story. They should leave original material alone. I'm selling the game after I beat it.

    Had this since release week and haven't played it yet. Might play along side with Bioshock. When you beat the game, can you go back and collect everything you didn't find?

    You're probably wondering about doing it to platinum this game, but you have to invest time in the multiplayer to get all the trophies and the multiplayer is......yeah....no.

    Just bought it on sale off of PSN and I am really impressed at the design, gameplay and new style. Lara is much more realistic and has better proportions and an actually personality that makes her appear human and vulnerable. I also like the atmosphere and openness of the game. I must say that Uncharted should take a similar approach to the upgrading system and the non linear environments for U4. This is easily the best looking and best desinged cross-platform game this generation and uses a superior engine to that ? UE3.
