It's good,

although environments are pretty, and controls spot on, there a bit sensitive.

The A.I is bollox, and character mapping is pretty poor, but the gameplay is solid, even if lara is a bit more random in her ability to land a jump.

Cool. Cheers for the heads up. Been looking forward to this one, I really hope it's a return to form.

boring tbh. ill be giving this one a miss. hated the other ones too

I liked it a lot. It really felt like the original Tomb Raider.

Lovely water and lighting effects.

I liked how easy it is push and pull the blocks.

Did anyone else find themselves frantically trying to activate the sands of time when Lara was falling to her death from a particularly tall cliff?

I had this ordered but credit card got declined, didn't know I'd ran up the bill already! I will get it tho, I liked it, shadows looked amazing, especially at that bit when the walls open in and out and you can see the shadow when u go all the way through!

ughhh the block pushing was the most annoying thing in it imo. ikept tryin to push it one way and it would keep twisting.

very like a price of persia game's control but not fun. doesnt look too good for a "next gen" game really.

thats because it isn't, been in development for current gen for a good while, "whats that? 360 wha? ok, lets port it quick snap"

result, shiny environments, and hd compatible, thats about it, but its still a decent game.

I thought it was pretty good myself. Not quite next-gen graphics but impressive enough. The combat controls weren't perfect tho, particularly targeting, but it was a lot more playable than the other entries in the series.

this the 1st level of the game, i've played the pc version on the same monitor at same rez , and 360 version doesnt come close visually :-(
maybe on a hdtv it would look better?

Ive pld it on both PC and 360 and it looks alot better on my 360 hooked upto the vga monitor. Water effects are amazing.

She looks kinda orange and she STILL walks on air (as in hovers over things she's supposed to be walking on). I like it though, so I'll probably buy it.

Got it today, its pretty good, for anyone who's wondering to preform the swan dive just jump forward using the A button, keep the A button pressed then straight after you jump hold the B button! Nice!

I liked the dome, kinda back to the good times in TR 1 and 2.

Maybe a little slowdown in parts but hoping thats just a demo code or something.

Will be getting it me thinks.
