In the Official Xbox Magazine UK it stated that 90% of the population (whether it meant UK or world, I'm not sure) recognised the name of Lara Croft. (Or image, I can't remember. Memory and me don't mix :D)

Pretty impressive stuff!

And, apart from Lara, I have to ditto what other people have said. Mario and Sonic are widely known as well.

Yeah, I'd think Mario was one of the most widley-known gaming character. I hadn't heard of Lara Croft until my younger cousin showed me Tomb Raider III!

Really? i mean lyk i sed non of my relatives have heard of mario, or mayB theyve forgotten i dunno, he hasnt been around 4 a while.. has he? but i DEFINATLY agree with the last bit:-) if so tho lets just say lara is the most HUMANE game charachter, mario is basicly a small midget with a moustash and sonic is well... a hedghog

i heard lara overtook the first place from mario in the late 90's as the most known game character. but since then lara havent been very active.

from the old days, i think many know who Donkey Kong and Link from Zelda are too...
