So ive been a fan of Tomb Raider since the beginning. It was so unlike anything else id played. Basically the first one was awesome..there has been some hit and misses since then and not till they re-made the first Tomb Raider did I Feel that awesomeness again. Well i felt that with the TR underworld. ive heard alot of bad things about it before i played it but i dont know they must have had a wack version of the game cause mine was good. Ive heard about bugs and glitches, I didn't experience any. The only thing bad about it was the Camera but thats always been a problem. But it wasn't that bad. Graphically it was a gorgeous game. espically on an HDTV, very nice! Mechanics were a bit off, Id jump some were i didn't want to and die. But other than that it was fun. Good story, places and puzzles made since. It didn't seem like they took a tomb and just added things to make it hard. Seemed like the puzzles and booby traps were really suppose to be there. My only complaint was that it was way to easy! and to short! It seems to be a common theme among games these days, or im just that good at games haha but i doubt that. but all and all it was a fun game and worth a rent. I wouldn't buy it. There isn't alot of replay value. I found most of the Treasures on my First go around. Oh and Just for beating the levels you get a bunch of Gamer Points so thats cool..I was like wow 100 points just for beating one level..But ya..def play this one

I havnt played any Tomb Raider games since they were still on the PS1. But comparing those to this, i liked those better. First of all i get pretty scared from about any game where its mostly in the dark, so if you get scared from dark games too, you might want to not play this one. Its not the most scary game ever made but since its based upon ruins and things like that i get freaked out. I also noticed something that i LOVE about this game and that is if you die, in most cases you respawn very close to the point where you died and you can keep spawning forever. Also you dont run out of pistol ammo with comes in handy. Another really nice thing if you get stuck in this game is you can go to your PDA (Back button) and go down to one of the options and itll give you two hints on what to do next. I really wish this feature was in the Lego games because i spend hours walking around trying to figure out what to do next. The graphics are pretty average. Or maybe just a bit better than average. Also if your a guy and you just play this game so you can watch Lora Croft run around, she looks very nice in this game. And sometimes she barely wears anything. Overall if your a Tomb Raider fan go ahead and rent this game. Otherwise just play some other game because you prouble wont like this game, besides watching Lora Croft.
