As title - have been hugely tempted to buy this on the couple of occasions I have seen it but when I got round to it today couldn't find it. Is it any good, I loved the first original and was hoping to reminisce.

Thanks
 
Yes its an awesome game, I played it on PC but never got round to completing it when I reformatted.

/goes off to install again :)
 
Brilliant game, infact, dare I say, the most surprisingly good game of 2007. I havent played mass effect yet but for me tomb raider is at least 2nd place for me. It reminded me of the good old TR1 days.

Amazing game, you will just get lost in it, in both senses! No doubt you will get lost in the puzzles but the game just takes you away.
 
just out of interest, is this a remake of the old ps1 games, or is it something new, this game sort of popped out from nowhere and I have heard nothing about it
 
Its a good game if you can find it relatively cheap, i hear its good on the wii as well. got mine with the 8800gt and its the best Tomb raider i have played. so i recommend it if you enjoyed the series.
 
I enjoyed it, but thought they pretty much butchered some levels into not being as good as they were, maybe I just remember it wrong but some levels seemed to be cut in half, still overall a very good game.
 
Hmmm. I thought this had bad feedback on here, sure there were a few people giving it a bit of a pasting a while back. Or was I just dreaming?

Edit - This is the thread I think I was on about
 
Yeah true graphics ain't the best, bit faded and blurry in places, and yep some framerate issues in certain parts of the game, but neither of them really were bad enough to bother me, the fps issues seemed to happen for me at non crucial moments so did not really affect the gameplay.
 
It's definitely worth the budget price! Best Tomb Raider game I've played since the fantastic original. Lonely puzzle solving with the occasional bear/wolf/raptor/lion/mummy to kill. Ace!

And yeah, graphics ain't brilliant, but it was developed for the PS2/PC a while back. The next Tomb Raider game will be the true next-gen one. And hopefully it'll concentrate on puzzle solving like this one and not so much combat.

edit: Oh, and it's actually rather challenging. It makes you realise how easy games have got recently. Some of the puzzles will have you stumped, and St. Francis Folly is still as much of a toughie as it always was.

I got it a couple of weeks ago and completed it this weekend. Great game with some quite difficult acheivements (finding all artifacts/relics, completing levels without dieing - extremly annoying when you keep dropping to your death after attempting a jump)
