Ah here.
Just finished, kinda so-so ending.
But I got 100%.
It wasn't really that hard either, this game really isn't worth 50 dollars, maybe 30, but not 50.

Just played the demo yesterday... I'm impressed. Eidos did a great job on the game, and I am definitely going to get it as soon as possible.

I stopped playing Tomb Raider games after the 3rd.. I hated that game

Give me the original anyday

Anyhow.. the length of a game is irrelevant.. Metal Gear Solid and Farenheit are two games that spring to mind. They could both be completed in a day

In my opinion, Tomb Raider 2 was the best. But that may be due to the fact that I never really played part one.

I'll get Tomb Raider Legends for birthday this saturday. Can't wait to play it. Although not for the sake of being a Tomb Raider game, but because I really feel the urge to play one of these Action/Adventures again.

Nah, the graphics were good enough for a game like this..

In the end it goes all about gameplay and that was pretty good k: (except the time)

The graphics are very good IMO - and I get a decent speed on my machine, too - most games start getting choppy at 800x600, TRL doesn't and it worked smooth even with some extra eyecandy turned on. Not like some other games.

I think that makes the game way too short for €45 or more...we should has at least more levels then 7 (real levels...not including the last end boss) and some more special things to look for when you has complete the game...

I couldnt agree more it was far too short for a TR game. I took my time playing through and I beat it in 9 hours with 94% :blink:

The game was a marvel to look at though and the new control system was long needed IMO from the arcane grid system of the old games.

The other big let down of TRL besides it shortness for me was the eneimes you faced. Pretty much all mercs which is boring in a TR game. All we got was a color swap jaguar/snow lepoard and a dog :angry: the rest were merc with SMG merc with rifle merc with shotgun etc... which was lame IMO

I also found the over abundance of human enemies to really detract from the feeling of remoteness the past games conveyed so well. I mean in the first stage LARA climbs cliff faces and tracks though jungle mountains to arrive at a undiscovered temple just in time to see mercs drive up to the front for of the temple with their land cruiser :crazy:

The only thing I know of, and liked, about this game was how screwed up the shadow perspective was in the opening segment of the television advertisement for it.

hmm,...never thought about it that way but indeed it's pretty silly from here to take such a hard way (in real life, in game its easy as walking straight) if you could just take a truck and drive to it :blink:
