just finished this, pretty good game - nowhere near excellent or even up to the standard of uncharted but its a decent game nethertheless.
the puzzles were simple, shooting was way to much and generally its a pretty linear game - fast travel is next to pointless unless you want 100% and then even then thats a mega chore. the tombs were cool for the most part although so so short!
I think I prefer underworld and do think thats the better game than this, but will be interesting to see what/if they do in the next game.
pc port pretty good, although the hair is a fps killer. I tried to play a bit of MP but its dead so no point.

I just got around to playing this weekend, I am absolutely stunned at how good this game looks in 3D Vision, it's absolutely gorgeous! Been a while since i've played something that's absorbed me as much without getting bored, great game.
Depends what your used to, theres only a single digit percentage of the gameplay where it actually needs a controller the rest is suited well to keyboard and mouse tho doesn't work as well as it could due to implementation fail. Its a lot less like earlier tomb raiders where it was far more suited to a controller.

What a game. As said above first game in a while that ive played solid and wanted to complete
No SP expansions 
Shame.
As for the controller, its entirely down to personal preference as both work fine (few minor issues on the keyboard for some). I decided to play this on my TV sat on my sofa, so used a pad. Had I played it at my desk I would have used the KB and mouse.

Only sold 3.4 m excluding PC downloads 
not sure how many they expected to sell but guess the dev costs were massive when its been so long in the making & their CEO resigned so guess it means Square Enix are going to be scaling back dev budgets for a while or very careful about future games.

The games only been out 5 minutes and is already failing to meet expectations? CEO resigns ?
bit dramatic, what were they expecting...5m units in the first month \: ?
Square Enix need to be realistic. What did they expect from a dying franchise.

Considering that, they must have set ridiculously high expectations that they couldn't possibly hope to meet. Being the best-selling game in the franchise and one of the biggest-selling games of the year is a pretty massive achievement, no idea what sales they projected if they consider that a disappointment lol.
