DO NOT BUY THE NEW LARA CROFT!!! - Apr 05, 2006 04:04
What a crap game,i can only imagien how little it would sell if it had a man instead of her.
Wow lara panties is shown,and she wear minimal cloths and you can change the cloths in the manor,and her breast moves sometimes when she move fast,and she sweat and get wet,what a great game....

FFS!!!

...

The action is horrible,you can take like 1000 bullets,the enemy like 8,doesnt matter if you aim and shoot a HS,it counts as much as a hit in the feet,so basically 5 feet shots can be better then 3 headshots...Also your bullets can' t reach an enemy in 20 m,you have to be in 10 m range....lol.
TT

Sure its cool to look at lara when she makes her stunt,and they use the action event system or whatever to call it,thats in shenmue,where you press up,down or mayby right,in a cutscene and watch lara does pretty stunt,but thats all that is good,the game is medicore at best.


These pics was taken with a pc with everything on,but the next gen settings,like pixel shader 3.0 that 360 gonna have.
And with 1024' 768 reso with AA.





A close up when she was going to the party...







To far distance,bullet wont reach enemyes from this distance.



Swinging is quite fun...







takes like 10 shoots...



laras mansion...



this too...











MGS feature? you wish,the enemy sometimes walk into walls and aim at it... :S also they can find you even if your behind them.

wtf...?!



If we couldn' t look at this and instead had to look at this...



This crap game had got 2/10
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

What do you expect? Tomb Raider is crap! The only reason it' s popular is because it was the first female video game character. (Except Super Metroid, but who the fuck cares about that )

Whatever, it was the first female that anyone with a brain cares about. Maybe if I wasn' t such a Nintendo hater I would say first 3d female video game character.

You know what, don' t raise your expectations for games that are in a bad franchise, no matter how good they appear, they always suck in the long run.

After playing Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, the only thing that went through my head was:
" Oh no, not again"


I was honestly counting on this one to breathe new life into the Action/Adventure genre. I' d even settle for a few " Boxes you can push but can' t pull" puzzles.

Lara! Why have you forsaken us!?

Well Quez is talking specifically about the PC verision. Now i have played the 360 version and i love it!

The demo is on marketplace now (a little late mind), and it' s a definate return to form. So if you enjoyed the first two Tomb Raider games, maybe even Tomb Raider 3, and you want a next gen game that feels and plays like that, this is for you.

Lare' s new moves are excellent and the new control method is perfect, ...it looks gorgeous, especially in HD and has that epic feel i hoped for. The enemies are fairly generic but the game is more about exploration and puzzle solving than fighting to it' s all good!

Huh, I' m still gonna try it since this is a whole new team making this game. Gonna give this series one last chance. Since I have to wait on Hitman: Blood Money.

Yes,the 360 version,with its 360 controller was much more fun,i would give it 8/10 when playing on 360.
It has awesome graphics too,not as in my pics.

I completely agree with Quez, and I feel the same way with the DOA series.

Just read the IGN review, and i think its a must have! back to the roots of Tomb Raider 1 & 2, they should have included them on the 360 disk, like ID did with Quake 2!

Ohh and Quez, maybe a renaming of the topic would be in order

I have the demo off Live. I can' t get passed the stupid puzzle where you have to put three crates on some buttons that open the door in the first tomb. There is some lever/see-saw device in the lower area that looks like it should launch the crates up to the upper level. Sadly THEY DON" T GO HIGH ENOUGH!!!So I' m about to give up on this demo because this puzzle is driving me nuts.

I usually hate Tomb Raider Croft with a passion, but this demo is actually quite fun! I think its mainly cos the new control system is nice and intuitive, although copies Prince of Persians a bit.

Frame rate' s a bit dodgy at times, and getting Lara wet just to ogle is so tacky. But that' s what TR is usually about anyway. The PC demo' s gonna get an update to add the fancy lighting effects tomorrow, so I' ll see what that does to my machine...looks like a pretty game though, in more ways than one!

At the risk of sounding like a dork, i' ve never liked the tomb raider series.
I mean, the first one was a nice test to show that 32bit systems could exhibit the same functionality of the n64--
But that was back in the 90s, and this gameplay style hasn' t aged well.

Well unless you have played it, you cant tell, i think it aged really well into this tomb raider title, and the PoP series. Im getting TR legend!

Thats because it gots like 1 review,and its on 80-83%.
ALso every revew fall down in points,the more reviews thats shows up-
For ex i said that about OB when it was ranked 13,people said no,now its ranked 19th O_o

But you get all kind of retardes who get their reviews up,look at this review of ff7


" An epic RPG spanning three discs, total geeks can look forward to at least 60 hours of gameplay- ten times that for those of us less adept or easily confused. If you' ve seen the splashy ads on TV, don' t be fooled, all lot of gameplay is traditional Anime. Either way, playing and watching the story unfold through those tremendous segues is exquisite eye candy. The graphics are top notch, the combat engine complex and nearly flawless. There is simply too much going on to mention in one review!

FF VII is totally engrossing with its sometimes-adult themes, situations and dialogue (typically cheesy dialogue, that is). Truth be known, I don' t even like RPGs but I dislike this one the least."

And it got 6/10 of him.

This is what happend when you ignore european magazine and add idiotics reviewas.

Also they doesnt include european magazines or japanese thats why nfl is the 8th most ranked game of all time there.

I had to dig this up and post..

I' m actually pleased with this game. They really did go back to square one. Lara really does react and move with real physics. None of that robot walk but she still holds her guns like a robot too tho. Once I beat the game and got to play around with my deadliest weapon at the last level. I couldn' t believe that I had 95% of the game done and still had over half of the costumes still to unlock and cheat codes as well. I was like what is that crap?!? Anyways, working on unlocking everything now and this game really does give you the Tomb Raider experience all over again!!!

It' s a bit too short to be honest, and too straight forward (obvious). It really lacks the wide open spaces of the original, where you' d run into a place and be like... " Wow... now, where do I have to go?" .
Still nothing in the game game the that same amazement as the first sighting of the t-rex in the original. It lacks the lost world feel... Like these might be tombs you' d get a tour through on a vacation. Don' t get me wrong I enjoyed it and the levels were decent, but more like the tomb raider movies than the original game.
It' s nice they put a lot to unlock but I cannot be bothered with that, I have other games to play and rarely can be bothered with extras unless there is really something awesome in it.

I hope IF Crystal Dynamics make another TR game they really do go back to it' s roots ... Hell i' d be happy with a completely next gen (360+ps3) remake of the first game, with the new control system, a more refined camera system (it was plain crap at times), the new abilities worked into the game, like pole swinging etc from trl. And all the gfx/sfx bells and whistles you' d expect from a next gen game.

The skyscraper and bike parts were utter rubbish.

I was really pissed at the lack of animals to kill. The human enemies serve their purpose but are overused.

The puzzles could have been much better, ...the first one where you catapult the boxes was nice, but after that they pretty much sucked)

The variety of weapons was limited to say the least.



The actual " tomb" levels are gorgeous though, and the flashback where Lara had on her original clothes from the first game was great but could have been longer.

The water effects are great and the new moves and handling are a godsend.



I actually hope they don' t do another TR game just yet, ...i REALLY want them to remake Soul Reaver/2 and make it one big game...

a remake of the entire LoK series would be even better...

I think very unlikely though... but hey here' s one use for Blu-Ray remake the entire series as one huge ass game (or selectable at player preference) and dump the whole hd amazingness on one disc. FINALLY a good use for BD-ROM on a console.

Actually I' d be happy enough just playing the first soul reaver again - I don' t think the series is in need of a remake as much as the original TR game. And chances are very unlikely we will ever see a LoK game again, especially not a Raziel game.
