I've been a fan of Tomb Raider for ages, and wa looking forward to her PS3 debut, especially after I enjoyed Legend & Anniversary so much... but this is massively disappointing.
I don't think it's graphically impressive at all0 the last 2 PS2 versions looked smoother- and the gameplay is quite boring. The terrible camera kills it, as does the naff combat. I'm bored of it already! Shame, they seem to have lost their way a little on this one. It's just not as much fun...
The bad; The camera is atrocious and destroys the hard work put into enhancing the controls The game is far too short - I nailed it in four evenings and have no desire to attempt the "treasure hunt" There are no willy-waving rewards (trophies or achievements) for finding relics or secrets Too many invisible walls that stop me exploring (even if there's nothing to find) At times the short-term objective isn't clear, forcing the use of the hint
The good; Great puzzles Fabulous graphics, very detailed textures though the lighting is a bit off Great animation - much more natural than previous outing Polished gameplay, tight controls Good story - though I think it did try to pull together too many disparate myths
