    It's time to move on, Lara -- Angelina Jolie is waiting in the wings, and then you're done.

    It's sad, but despite some new play mechanics, including a stealth mode mission (a la "Metal Gear Solid"), the same old flaws are here and the same gameplay that I'm tired of still lives, even if Lara is dead.

Playable enough but the format was starting to feel a little old hat.… Expand
