I like where they are going with it. I have good hopes for this, both Anniversary and Legend have been the best TR games since the first one (even when Anniversary is the first one)

I thought Legend was great, so I' m looking forward to this one! Still have to get Uncharted. I think I need some good adventuring right now.

I loved TR: Anniversary so im anticipating TR: Underworld, but if the climbing mechanics are inferior to AC then it will fail (for me at least).

Yeah the AC engine is cool for that, climbing is looks nice and is pretty fluent, but just a tad bit too safe, you dont really screw up and fall horribly to your death.

I want climbing to be a challenge.. though i dont want it to look like you can climb something and then you cant, but thats clever level design and not mechanics

As much as i love the Tomb Raider games... we have Uncharted now

Crystal Dynamics need to do another Soul Reaver game and another Pandemonium game before anything else.

Clara has zero personality compared to Nathan. And Uncharted was twice as good as legend

I am sure most people don' t play TR for the thought provoking, well-written or even remotely entertaining stories.

The way I see it, its mostly down to two things....and now they both stay wet for longer!

Wooohoooooo YEAH!

Do you think the Uncharted sequel will try and beat that out by making more realistic ball sweat?
