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

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!
