    Tomb Raider - what kind of game is it?


    What kind of game is tomb raider - from some of the gameplay trailers I've seen it seems like a lot of puzzle elements. Similar to previous TR games, is that still the focus? Or is there more of a focus on combat? How long is the SP campaign? And I'm assuming
    there is no MP, right? Thinking about picking it up - so I'm curious what you guys say....

    :)

    It is the only game I want. I am furious at Square Enix for putting the game back six months. Just what the heck are they doing that needed the game to be put back 6 months.

    It is nice to see just how many people are wanting the game. From the trailers I have seen it looks incredible.

  4. Tomb Raider - what kind of game is it?

    It's an action adventure game similar in style to Uncharted, with some puzzling. In my opinion I think it's a better game than Uncharted overall. If you would much prefer a game similar to the Tomb Raider of old then you would probably want to give it a
    miss.

    Campaign is about 10 hours if I remember correctly and there IS a MP but I never cared for it. Some say it's enjoyable but I still think it's just tacked on. Overall I would say it's a action/survival game with puzzle elements. With that said it was a great
    game when I played it for the 360. The story, characters, visuals and gameplay was awesome!

    If you never played it when it first came out, this is the perfect time to do so. If you want to know what kind game it is, it's the amazing kind of game. Stop worrying about technicalities and just play it.

    It's a great looking action adventure game that is very polished and looks good and plays well.



    Graphics and ease of play are plusses but the ease of play also works against the game because the puzzles aren't very difficult. In this sense it's not unlike "Darksiders" in the way it spoon feeds you the story and presents you with "Connect the Dots"
    puzzles that are as difficult to solve as a numbered connect the dots itself.



    While the game looks really good and has very fluid movement, much like "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag" if you've had a chance to play that... "Tomb Raider" could have easily starred ANYONE Else.



    There's nothing really special about Laura Croft. It could have been "The Tropical Adventures of Bill" but then nobody would really have bought it.



    I'm gong to start editorialising her but Ireally hate how the character of Laura Croft has been dumbed down incredibly.



    She used to be a strong sexy character. Personally I believe that easy acces to pornography has warped most gamers views of sexuality and far too many players seem to be in arrested development and when they see a female character being sexy they subconsciously
    associate it with all the internet pornography they've glutted on and equate these actions as being slutty and/or bad.



    So while people have been falling over themselves to say how they think Laura's timid, shocked and stereotypically girly reactions to killing animals and people makes her feel "more real"... the fact of the matter is one of Video Gaming History's greatest
    heroines has effectively been spayed and neutered and an alarming number of modern gamers seem to think this was a great idea.



    Definately worth picking up but don't expect what you had before. It's new so try to enjoy it for what it is.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was suppose to be Lara's first adventure....before she becomes who we know and love.

    OP: This game has a lot to it. You need to solve puzzles, figure out how to get to certain areas by climbing, jumping ect. It contains third person shooter aspects where you can take on enemies with crossbows or a select few guns....or you can choose to be
    stealthy and sneak past them if you wish. The graphics looked great on the 360 version, can't wait to see it on the one. The multiplayer is fun, but don't try to compare to Battlefield, COD, halo or the like. You can tell that MP was a secondary thought
    behind single player...which it should be. If they put some more time into MP on the sequel it could be fairly successful. But really, you should be buying this game for a fun single player experience.

    Do yourself a favor and go buy this game. I beat it on the 360 and plan on purchasing it for the one as soon as I can.

    ^Probably why I don't like it. I thought the fact that she had a bow would've been enough for me but it wasn't.

    It's supposed to be the first adventure of Laura Croft but the character doesn't fit...



    Or rather the 'lack of character'.

    It's Lara, not Laura. Lara. L - A - R - A. Its not that hard, especially for a fan of the character.

    And the Lara we all know and love is definately there at the end. Yes she's timid at the start, but by the end of the game she's taking charge and kicking butt. For an origin story, it's pretty well crafted and I know it had me hooked from start to finish.
