Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In a nutshell:
Lara Croft is finally back in the first game to do her legacy justice since the days of the original PlayStation. With updated graphics and gameplay, and a whole new suite of moves and equipment this is the sequel fans have always demanded.

The lowdown:
After the disappointment of Angel of Darkness, the Tomb Raider series has gone back to basics with a new developer and even a new Lara. Combat is back to being only around a third of the game with everything else centred on platform jumping and puzzle solving. To help this, there’s a canny new movement system that allows Lara to jump onto and grab objects at an angle, so there’s none of the awkward grid based movement of the earlier games. This is also the first Tomb Raider to have a proper physics engine, with lots of the puzzles revolving around movement and the use of Lara’s natty new magnetic grappling hook. The graphics are also excellent, and with input from the original creator this is a long awaited return to form.

Most exciting moment:
The realisation that this is actually a proper update of the original game, as Lara leaps around cliffs like a mountain goat, with graphics and controls that aren’t still stuck in 1996.

Since you ask:
The new voice of Lara is provided by Keeley Hawes, who also plays Zoe Reynolds in BBC TV show Spooks.

The bottom line:
Lara Croft is back in the first decent new Tomb Raider game for a long time.
Harrison Dent

3.0 out of 5 stars Buggy! Buggy! Buggy!, 23 May 2007
By B. Bagnall (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Please be warned, there is a very annoying bug in this game that, when triggered, can stop you from finishing. It occurs about half way through the England level and occurs when you face the sea monster boss (after visiting King Arthur's tomb). There are plenty of websites with guides that will help you avoid this bug because, if like me, you trigger it and you have used only one save slot then you CANNOT finish the game. Eidos are aware of the problem but cannot fix it so check out their site (and there are other sites that point out the bug - just Google it) for advice on how to avoid it.

Very irritating. The England level is about three quarters of the way through so I'm not prepared to replay the whole game just to finish it (as Eidos suggest).

Apart from that, the game's very good and I was quite enjoying until the bug cropped up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the rest?, 12 Oct 2006
By Mark Staunton (Staines UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
As the title indicates, this is not the longest game in the world. There are only 8 areas to battle through and the prospect of repeating them all, but doing them within a certain time, is tiresome. Not only is it short, but it's also very structured and you will never (?) fail to work out where you need to go next.
The graphics, movement etc. are as you would expect from the 360, but the playability is not up to scratch. Whilst, accepting that anything was an improvement on Angel of Darkness, this has several other shortfalls.
There is little to be gained (the odd outfit and pistol bonus) from searching for the bronze, silver, gold icons (weren't the hidden secrets in the earlier games miles better ??)that can be found in each level. From a weapon view the fact that you can only carry one weapon apart from pistols is annoying. That said, there is not much to kill. The odd person, and the random jaguar and that really is about it!! No birds from above, snakes in the undergrowth etc. A lot of time is just spent wandering through the game and solving rather obvious puzzles. Additionally, the some of the end of level fights are tedious.
In summary, I would pick it up pre-owned of you are a Lara fan, and avoid it if you are not! There are far greater games out there that would keep you entertained for longer.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good Lara!!!, 21 May 2006
By megamarble "dlb008" (South Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Tombraider is great. It's how i remembered the first tombraider to be before the series started to go downhill. I agree it isn't terribly long but there is a nice mixture of puzzles, acrobatics, and fighting. The presentation is also good. All in all a return to form for Lara
