    Pretty awesome if you want my opinion. I played the game for 11 hours straight. I rented it from a redbox so I definitely got my moneys worth. Anyway I have never been a big tomb raider fan but this game converted me. I was pleased.

    I have never played any Tomb Raider game before. And I decided to give this game a go. And it was amazing. I love Lara's development from a timid, fragile girl becoming a bad ass killer, merciless, survivor. The story was great, well-written, maybe a little bit cheesy sometimes. However, her friends' character development are weak. I love the gameplay a lot. It is an amazing game, andI have never played any Tomb Raider game before. And I decided to give this game a go.

The game a,so manages to create a very emotional story with many characters who join Lara on this journey some are likeable but some are not well fleshed out but it doesn't effect the emotion er and power in this story.gameplay is fun and easy to learn even after climbing and jumping for six hours you will still be scared while climbing but in an exciting way. Combat has been nailed in this game it follows your standard 3rd person shooting mechanic there is not a lot of fighting in this game however if there is one thing I didn't like was I found some fighting moments to be frustrating and unfair but who really cares about that. Tomb raider is an incredible game and a great competitor with uncharted and if this is how tomb raider is going to be made from now on they have a new fan.… Expand

    I have been a fan since the original Tomb Raider on the Playstation One. This new installment really hit the mark. The story is great, the characters are very well developed. Lara Croft is back and better than ever. Tomb Raider needed a fresh new look and Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics really outdid themselves this time.

Tomb Raider is one of the finest platformers to come out in some time and it definitely stands on it's own. You take control of a young Lara Croft who get's stranded along with her ship mates on a (supposedly) deserted island. There is a legend surrounding the history of the island, and let's just say that the story throughout the game is very solid and keeps you guessing. When Lara starts out, she seems a little frail and apprehensive. However once you navigate a few caverns, collect some loot and hone your hunting skills, Lara quickly turns into the fierce killing tigress that she was always meant to be. Collecting and then upgrading weapons is fun and eventually you'll feel like a genuine bad-azz, dispatching the local thugs with ease and. Speaking of the thugs, they can seem slightly repetitive after a while, but I'm just glad Crystal Dynamics stretched the campaign out as long as they did. In a day and age where COD games routinely release with puny 4 hour campaigns, Tomb Raider is fairly lengthy.
    The console versions have great graphics, but the PC version with Tress FX enabled is truly a sight to behold. When this game ends you will be sad. It really sucks to see the ending to one of the best platformers in the genre, and Lara's tight little body will burn a place in your memory until the next Tombs need a Raidin'..

The story itself is interesting however honestly the main plot will be easy to figure out in the first few hours of game play. However the game does an amazing job of just giving you enough information and making you want to find every little detail.

    One of my favorite things is when you collect the relics you can inspect them further and about 1/3 of the items have additional info attached to them. Also you upgrade your weapons as the game progresses making spending the time to explore well rewarded. I haven't played a collect-em 90s style adventure game made this well in awhile.

    So far, this is my 2013 game of the year over bioshock the last of us.    … Expand

Il gameplay confrontabile a quanto visto con Uncharted, sviluppato ulteriormente da una maggiore fluidità dei movimenti e possibilità molteplici di interazione con oggetti dell'ambiente.

It plays a lot like the uncharted series which are some of my favorite games. The graphics are amazing, the controls are fluid, and the atmosphere of the game is incredible. The game really makes you feel Lara's pain throughout. I can't say enough about this game.

    Tomb Raider is a true reboot, starting from what seems to be Lara Croft's first expedition to find a historic landmark that is as legendary as the Bermuda Triangle. The story unfolds in such a way that you truly start connection with Lara along with her coworkers as you unfold the mystery alongside her. You find clues strewn about levels along with GPS markers and artifacts which increase XP and allow you to upgrade your abilities and weapons.

    As someone who immensely enjoyed using a bow and arrow in Skyrim, I loved the bow action here in Tomb Raider, but I also found myself switching to the other weapons as well. The caves in TR require puzzle solving, but it's nothing too complex that will be too frustrating for the average gamer, yet is still challenging enough for the veteran gamer.

    The graphics are beautiful, the sounds crisp, and the gameplay rewarding and enjoyable. There is nothing that isn't engaging, and few missteps here. A flawless game, this is definitely a shining gem of 2013.    … Expand

I am not a big fan of linear adventure games, and I love the fact that it does give some freedom with open world mechanics, but considering I'm not a Tomb Raider fan nor a big fan of the genre this has to be one of the best games I've played in 2013.

    I'm more of a completely open world RPG choose your own dialog gamer, but preference aside I did find myself coming back to this game trying to collect all the juicy items. And this game has stayed true the title, its called Tomb Raider and that is exactly what you do. The story is very well written, even though I got VERY annoyed with the rescue missions and the lack of mission variety, I still had fun. How many times do people get captured? I lost count. And while others complain that Lara is too whiny and girly unlike the other games, I love the fact that she acts like a real human being and she gets stronger as the game progresses. She's not Master Chief or Dante, she can die... and that adds tension to the game. No more indestructible badass sex symbol, there is some realism behind this title.

    And ohh man the graphics, I'm not one to demand great graphics in games... hell I don't even need them. Jedi Knights of the Old Republic and Fallout 3 had horrible graphics but they are my favorite games. Still I got admit I was awe struck at the level of artistry the graphics provide in this game. Hardest things to do in games Lip sync, hair, water and light/shadows all done beautifully. My only real issue is the multi-player, why waste resources on such an out of place game mode that no one was expecting? How about co-op tomb raiding with friends where you need to work together to solve puzzles and progress to harder tombs? Like a Portal 2 type co-op puzzles but with Tomb Raider mechanics instead of portal guns and throw some baddies in the tombs for us to shoot. Bam perfect! But... no we have a Tomb Raider Call of Duty mode instead... guess its better than nothing.

    Still 9.5/10 for me the -.5 was for the CoD multiplayer had that not been there it would be my rare 10/10 I've only given to such games like The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Fallout 3, JKOTOR 1 and The Witcher 2    … Expand

And by the way, this game is very intense. Your character gets knocked all over the place, has a lot of close calls of falling from great heights and get abused by a lot of the enemy soldiers, she nearly gets raped by one of them. Its very interesting to see how much Lara Croft changes as you go on your wild adventure. This is a must-buy.… Expand

    I played this game for the first time in 2013 and it seemed amazing to me.
    In retrospect, now that I've tried more recent games like Uncharted 4 or its sequel, Rise of the tomb raider, it seems no longer so epic.

    By the way, it's always a good game, it was innovative at that time. The graphics were cool and the story captivating, I still think plot was well-written, even more than the plot of Rise of the TR.
    But it has some lacks that I'd already noticed 4 years ago: the gameplay is too short, about 8 hours (tombs and collectibles included), map is not very big, hunting and gathering are almost useless, there are a few weapons, stealth doesn't exist and there a few tombs and too easy to do. But, I want to point out, the plot is captivating and really engaging.
    It was and still is a good game, but not excellent how I used to believe when I first tried it.    … Expand

One point i have to subtract- too much violence, why we have to see how Lara died in such horrible scenes ?

    I wasn't into any of the Tomb Raider games back in the day, although this one caught my eye. Initially, I didn't expect much from the game, but by the end of it I was impressed.

The story and plot was quite captivating as well. It has to be noted that the map itself isn't very large, and features such as gathering, hunting, weapons weren't developed to its full potential (gathering/hunting is useless, not enough variety of weapons). There are only a few tombs to raid, and for the most part, they are quite easy. Furthermore, even though the story is well executed, it seems shorter than it needs to be. I like how the game is inspired by the Uncharted series, though at times I feel like it takes too much inspiration and doesn't create enough originality for itself. It is still a really good game that I'd suggest anyone to play, especially those who love the Uncharted series.… Expand

    This is one of the best games I played on the Xbox 360. The graphics and game play were great but more importantly the story was fantastic. I always got excited to see what Lara would do next when I started a new part of the game.

    Nothing but great things to say about this game. The story is rich and enjoyable, the graphics and animations were amazing for the time. I have even found myself playing through it a second and third time because of how much fun it was. The only complaint i would have about this game is the multiplayer......... its quite horrible. But i feel like that was just an extra thrown in the game.Nothing but great things to say about this game. The story is rich and enjoyable, the graphics and animations were amazing for the time.

    This was the first game that I ever 100% completed, and for good reason. The combat is super fun and the puzzles are super satisfying and just difficult enough that they aren't too easy.

    Amazing! Great story, great graphics, to the top in Xbox 360 hardware. Looks almost like the next gen versions. More than a port, it's a unique version made with detail and care. If you have a good old 360, this is a must for you, one of the last great games made for that generation.

    The best game I played on Xbox 360. It has an astonishing graphics, good plot, great gameplay and funny secondary activities (tombs, collectibles, etc...). If you like adventure games, be sure to play this game. In my opinion it is even better than Uncharted.

    I really loved the game. There is great voice acting, nice storyline, and decent side characters. It’s great open-world experience, that makes you feel like you’re almost in a movie, the whole game is almost cinematic. Combat is ok for the most part, it may feel a little wonky at times but it may just be me being an ass at the game. Overall, great experience having played Tomb Raider.

    The new Tomb Raider is not as revolutionary as the original from 1996 but this reboot is the most mature, interesting and friendly entry to the series. For me it is Uncharted on steroids, a game that’s better in every aspect than Nathan Drake’s adventures. [CD-Action 04/2013, p.52]

    Tomb Raider is a fine game, but something essential feels like it has been left out. Lara seems to have found the map, but missed the treasure.

    Tomb Raider is the second best Uncharted game behind Uncharted 2. While it gives up a lot of its adventure identity fans have come to know and love, the end result is still a fantastic game that shouldn’t be missed by any action fan. If Crystal Dynamics can inject more adventure elements into a potential sequel, it would be a pretty interesting proposition indeed.
