E3 2011: Tomb Raider

Underworld got good reviews - generally 80% plus you complete t**t. And also, Sqaure Enix didn't have anything to do with Legend. F**k sake.

It is ironic, but pleasing that I once expressed the problems with this series, right here on Spong a few years ago. I'm glad that someone has seen the light at Eidos/CD. Guardian of Light was a great game, and this TR reboot, while I was skeptical on another reboot after the improvement of Underworld, seems to be going in the right direction. I pray that besides the awesome looks that it can breathe some much needed character and personality into Lara (yes, we've seen here in pain so far, but crack a smile and tell a joke too, or any of those things a persons mind develops in solitude of a pursuit). I also hope that CD have learned from the likes of Ubi's AC and Naughty's Uncharted, that are the current champs in this genre area. Funny, I might actually be tempted to buy a TR game, since 1996. Good luck, CD and Square.

@Dear_fool_who_wrote_this_review...

Thanks for caring. But if you recall, the reason Tomb Raider is getting rebooted at all is due to the rather negative reaction to Underworld. Reviews aren't the only indicator for underwhelming games (it was generally understood that many reviews were paid off or otherwise overly-positive despite fans disliking it on release).

Also, I never said Square Enix had anything to do with Tomb Raider Legend. Crystal Dynamics is now a Square Enix studio. Read, and you shall learn.
