Its time for Lara Croft to retire. At least from this kind of game. Lara would be a kickbutt character in a shooter, or something besides this same old jumping, climbing baloney.
The first Tomb Raider game was popular because the graphics were above and beyond ANYTHING else. NOw, the graphics have evolved with the systems, but they gameplay has not. Find the key, that opens the door, climb up there and turn the wheel to open the door. Same old same old.
The combat is HORRID. absolutely terrible. No take cover system. Just keeping hitting the buttons until they die. That is the only strategy. The spliting of the shooting, (one gun shoots one enemy while the other shoots another one.) becomes so frustrated because you have one close enemy that you need to focus on, but cant because the splittling is practically uncontrolable. If you used to like Tomb Raider, and are looking for a similiar fun experience, let me suggest Drake's Fortune. Much better executed. Much better game. MUCH BETTER.
