Good to hear that from you, especially since you dislike the game. Means that review is nothing to worry about :p

I don't understand, does he want Lara to cry everytime she kills? And he mentions Uncharted does this too, but Drake can be forgiven because he's "charming" :rolleyes:

What a loser :vlol:

He's just pressed because Lara doesn't have extra large boobs but has a personality this time. Drake charming? Hah, I found Natla charming. Who can get angry at that little cute ancient God. She killed Lara's mother. Who cares about that bitch, Lara's such a drama queen.

Lol I hate Uncharted now :vlol:

I must be biased... but the only character i like from Uncharted is Chloe. Because she reminds me of Lara. :p And Elena, because shes not stupidly exaggerated and hollywoodised like the rest of the cast.

Can anyone who has the PS3 version confirm the controller button configuration? :o I'm really curious as to what it is and if it works well.

;) As I have said in the review thread this game is easily an 8 as a Tomb Raider game, and a lot higher as an action game, maybe around 8.5-9 :). To be fair I think it's the best Tomb Raider game made by CD :).

“The single-player campaign here is the main attraction, and it is excellent. It doesn't try to rewrite the book on third-person action adventure games. But with its excellent controls, engaging heroine, thrilling combat, and fascinating setting, it doesn't need to - 8.5/10.”

Ah, that's some bad situation. The closest place where I can get the game is Novi Sad since TR will take MONTHS to come to my town (and it's gonna be twice as expensive). I'll have to tell someone to buy it for me since my parents wouldn't go there just to get the game.

Erm, weren't you saying this isn't Tomb Raider at all and just a generic shooter a few days ago?

I never said that this is a bad game, it's just not a great Tomb Raider game. 8 to me is not a high score, but it really deserves at least an 8 as a Tomb Raider game.

My main discontent for this game came from it's cliché story and forced shooting mechanics, but it wouldn't be fair to hate it or to call it a bad game.

I guess I had a realization, if you don't go into it expecting something like the classics you won't be disappointed. This is something along the lines "Uncharted meets Tomb Raider" than "Tomb Raider meets Tomb Raider", and it sort of works.

Anyway, anyone who rates this game lower than 8 or 7 is truly biased.

Square to light the torch, square is like the new action button but its really fitting IMO. Circle to cancel shot/torch, triangle is mainly used in QTEs. Rest is same as TRL.

Speaking of which, I HATE the QTEs! Especially the final one, I knew EXACTLY which button was going to pop up and hit it the second it did, and I died like 10 times. I also died a lot during the rape cutscenes, I kept hitting the button as soon as it popped up but she still died!

^Thanks. Also, I think you're meant to hit the buttons as the circular frame outlines the edges of the button icon, or something.

8 to me is very generous, and if you don't like it then why would you say it's CD's best TR?
