    I dont know about what you think but since TR:Legend, tomb raider definately plays better, its gameplay rivals that of games like Prince of Persia, God of War. Combat hasnt been its strongest point but to be honest, combat has never been the reason I play tomb raider, puzzles and exploration is what makes tomb raider what it is.

    I agree though, that all the masses focus on are big boobs and even shorter shorts! The recent games has detracted the focus from that quite a bit and people are actually talking about how good it plays and I am sure Underwolrd will be no different.

    Looks good... hopefully it will be more like TR:A instead of TR:L !

  • The_Inquisitor #7 4 years ago

    Fighting sharks!! Brilliant, just like TR2 which was a high point in the series.

    Oh Absolutely, Legend or Anniversary, as great as they may be, they certainly arent what Tomb Raider 1 was to the game industry. Crystal D is definately playing catch up especially with Prince of Persia. the franchise has gone from being a leader to a follower - that's not to say it's bad but it would have been nice if it was the ONE that everyone follows given that it's THE franchise that started it all in this genre.

    The two recent games have had some BRILLIANT gameplay ideas but like you said it never achieved the Greatness that it once had. Still, credit to Crystal D for injecting a new life into the series after Angel of Darkness and I can imagine it'll only get better and better. I especially appreciate the fact that the story since legend has been much more than follow a bad guy and recover an artefact scenario. The story is dealing more with lara's character, more personal and character driven if you will. The ending of Tomb Raider Legend, I thought, was one of the BEST acted endings in a game ever. It simply was top notch.

    Tomb Raider Legend was a superb game. I gave up on Anniversary though which just seemed broken. Awful camera along with terrible level design made it a huge fail in my opinion.

    Will definitely wait for the reviews for this game, but can't see how this game can better Uncharted Drake's Fortune which just makes this franchise seem old.

  • JJrabbit #11 4 years ago

    I never played Anniversary, but Legend was brilliant. If this has similar gameplay mechanics (esp. in terms of camera and controls), then I'm sold. Looks very nice as well :)

  • TurboBailey #12 4 years ago

    I thought Legend was a bit crap, but only played it on PC.

    I loved Anniversary on the PC. But the controls were a bit ropey - even with a 360 pad. Great looking game though and a lot of fun

    The junglist massive? +1 to Ellie, there.

    Also, most games that feature harpoon guns are ace so my hopes are automatically high. Doubly so if I can use them on land.

  • septimus #14 4 years ago

    Anniversary >>>>> Legend. By a long way.

  • Moz #15 4 years ago

    Can we put Lara to bed already? Tomb Raider got tired years ago, it's time for something new.

  • BobsUncle #16 4 years ago

    Legend was a fucking pile of dogshite which i completed in one Friday night and a bit of Saturday morning.

    Anniversary was better, but TR1 will always have a special place in my heart next to Deus Ex.

  • 7creature #17 4 years ago

    Lara jumping the shark? Yes, for quite some time.

    At least it seems that creators finally decided not to model "new Lara" (i.e. post TR4 Lara) after certain actress and certain awful movies. Which is good. Still no sign of using realistic chest proportions, but I guess after so many years, nobody can really expect that >_>

    Lara was never modeled on Angelina anyway.

  • grussbarbar #19 4 years ago

    I hope the Wii controls will be as good as in TR: Anniversary.

    (IMO, they were VERY good, near perfect even. I completely disagree with Eurogamer's review regarding the controls (and to some extent, the camera). TR: A was by far the best TR experience I ever had due to the Wii controls.)

  • VMerken #20 4 years ago

    Let's see if combat makes the leap from god awful to awful, and the near-linear parkour exploration becomes a little less near-linear parkour exploration.

    It's probably no on both counts, but at this point one should remain optimistic.
