    graphics are,good.. movement just feels wrong and is very linier single solution problems in which you have no choice how the game plays.. your just another cog in the boring wheel.

    graphics options are bad... "enable 2nd gneration content" what the hell? turn it on and i get 15fps. turn it off and i get 200?? can't i customise that graphics for my system? soo anouying.    graphics are,good.. movement just feels wrong and is very linier single solution problems in which you have no choice how the game plays.. your just another cog in the boring wheel.

    I'm bit dissapointed with the latest version of the tomb raider game.though the graphics and movement smoothness and mapping is exelent, the level design is not that good. Actually i just played the game because i have played and ended the all previous versions and for the sake of ending up this version for self satisfaction which ended up with a great dissapointment. i mean, what I'm bit dissapointed with the latest version of the tomb raider game.though the graphics and movement smoothness and mapping is exelent, the level design is not that good. Actually i just played the game because i have played and ended the all previous versions and for the sake of ending up this version for self satisfaction which ended up with a great dissapointment. i mean, what happend to the tricky game that i used to know?.this game is far too easy for being a tomb raider game. I was expecting a more harder game for sure and it only took me just 2 days to finish off this game which is a simpathy!.the only tricky place according to my knowledge was at the author's statue where u need to swing the lamp to hit the bell while it was hanging.I realy think this time the game was a BIG FALIUR!!!.… Expand

    Maps: The maps are too linear and lowered down for the kiddies. They have simple puzzles, if you could call them puzzles. There is no open-ended exploration like in the first three tomb raider series. Map designing needs more work. Graphics: Great graphics, no comment Gameplay: Too much action, the developers should have focused the game 99 percent on the puzzles, and 1 percent on the Maps: The maps are too linear and lowered down for the kiddies.

Talk about a Prince of Persia clone, but with a livelier atmosphere and a world -wide know sexy character. The headset with zip is retarded, too many hints from him and the in game help icons, and the R.A.D vision equipped with your binoculars. EDIOS do not leave out the adults now… Expand

    With the impending release of the excellent looking Tomb Raider reboot, I've recently played through Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld, to get familiar with the saga and see what all the hype is about.

I'll be blunt: Legend was the absolute worst, by far. The puzzles were easy, combat was a joke, and the boss fights were a chore. If anyone else is considering playing these titles, do yourself a favor and skip Legend. Anniversary is an excellent remake the original, and Underworld gives you the final installment of these set of games. And don't worry about missing the plot from Legend. Underworld brings you up to speed with a short video, or you can read the wiki, which would only be about 10x as fun as actually playing this game.… Expand

    PC controls suck. For me that's a game wrecker. Good God. Combat mechanics are awful. Camera movement is horrendous. Can't tell you if the plot is any good. I got sick of fighting the damned game controls and bashed the uninstall button, which is the only thing that worked good. Lara's got a nice rack, great legs and a fine ass, though.

    This is Tomb Raider's descention into drivel! This game steers Lara away from puzzle solving and into combat which is NOT what Tomb Raider is about. Considering there is a lot of combat it is implemented horribly, coupled with the way Lara handles it's a mixture of clunky and floaty and is just downright annoying. Couldn't be bothered to finish it! Tomb Raider: Anniversary nailed it withThis is Tomb Raider's descention into drivel!

    This game has extremely bugs. I am very regretful because i bought this game. The save system too awful. I finished almost the game and i lost my save file because of the bugs. Controls are very bad too.

    The cliffhanger story is well put together. The action is simple and effective. The controls not only work, they're fun...Best of all, the sense of discovery and adventure is captured with a fresh sensibility.

    A solid title from the ground up. It has a nicely written story, with lively characters and a charismatic and sexy protagonist in Lara Croft. It has great voice acting and music, and the artists have done a marvelous job of creating beautiful and diverse locations for the game's backdrop.

    The changes Crystal Dynamics have affected means it’s easily the most polished, well-rounded package of the seven.
