Emotionally Groundbreaking

How you start this game and how you finish this game are two different things. And what makes this game so good is the journey that Lara goes through from still-wet behind the ears student (who is just getting punished at the first of the game enough to make you cringe,) who becomes this butt kicking predator assassin. This game actually makes you feel for the girl's safety during the first 1/3 of the game and I haven't played too many games where you actually care if the character gets hurt. Its pretty amazing what they have done here. The story is top notch, the voice acting is top notch, platforming is top notch, and surprisingly the action is really top notch(I actually enjoyed it a bit more than Uncharted). One of the cool things about the combat is that it has this dynamic cover system that pretty much does the work for you. You don't have to duck behind cover because anytime enemies are around she instantly goes into combat mode while still allowing the free movement of game without a cover system. It will make better sense when you play but trust me, it works beautifully. I guess if there was anything that I could nitpick about would be that the some plot moments felt a little flat, toward the end. But like I said. Its only nitpicking. Play this game now.
