By draider9
Overall, this game adds a completely new and positive perspective to the Tomb Raider franchise. If you haven't necessarily liked the Tomb Raider series, at least give this game a shot. On the flip side if you love Tomb Raider, its a must have. The graphics and depth are visual eye candy with a mix of a comic book look for the prologue. This game has a pretty good story line (not amazing but not bad) and plays from a perspective exactly like Diablo. The game areas are rich with extras (if you can find them all) and the puzzles are quite solvable; note that when I refer to puzzles I am saying that solving the puzzles in this game is not like trying to figure out a crossword or Sudoku puzzle. They immerse you in the game and have a purpose. You don't have to do the really hard ones if you don't want to either. If you don't though you will miss out on bonuses; ammo upgrades, etc. There are also monsters that spawn just about everywhere (even the puzzle rooms), which only adds to the fantastic environments and game play. You have a variety of weapons and specials to equip throughout the game too.There are only a few things about the overall experience that I didn't necessarily enjoy.First being the controls, if you don't prefer using the keyboard and mouse (or are not particularly savvy with them) use a controller. I learned that controlling Lara with the keyboard and mouse takes some getting use to.Second, the voice acting for some of the characters seems kind of cheesy at times and turns the game away from being a serious mythological and adventurous isometric dungeon crawler to a bit of a child like atmosphere and can distract from the enjoyment of the game.Third, its almost like you don't have to work to really ration ammunition (except your pistols which have infinite ammo...yeah I know right). I mean you do have ammo for SOME weapons but I feel that it is way too easy to replenish them.Despite some real minor annoyances, this game is great I really enjoyed it and I recommend that people give it a shot.

By mig029
This is the first game I purchased through Amazon. Amazon gives you an activation key with the purchase. With an activation key this game is easy to Activate through Steam, which means Steam Achievements.The Game is fun and runs great on a i5 2500k, 560ti system.

By A. Lee
This "Lara Croft" game is a top-down shooter, and first of its kind in the Tomb Raider franchise. XBox360, PS3, and even iPad/iPod touch has this game. For those familiar with the genre, it is closer to GunBros, DeadNation (PS3), Zombie Apocalypse (PS3), than Diablo, zombie shooter, alien shooter. You can choose to play using the keyboard and mouse, but I highly recommend using a joypad instead.In fact, if you have a joypad with great analog sensitivity, this game's an absolute blast at sub $10 purchase. I'm using my PS3 Dualshock via MotionJoy [hint hint], and the XBox 360 controller perfectly integrates with this game, giving it a console feeling.The co-op is highly recommended, either local or online. Co-op gameplay [mildly] changes the difficulty, but substantially changes the puzzle solutions, means of escaping traps, and of course more enemies, which makes things refreshing between single campaign and co-op campaign. True co-operation is required to get things done.I'm in Oklahoma, and I play with my friend in Florida, and gameplay is smooth, depending on your connection. In case of a rare disconnection in the midst of gameplay, fear not. The game has checkpoints which you won't have to fret about completing that previous crazy puzzle/trap/encounter again. Steam would be the medium for online gameplay. Aside from online gameplay, I highly recommend activating the game on Steam to gain access to other DLC content, which will cost a few more bones. Honestly, at discounts Amazon is handing out, what's a few more bones, eh?The gameplay is smooth and well paced, with a mix of typical Tomb Raider puzzles and action. In fact, with a decent graphics card (I'm using GTS250, and my friend's a RD4650), it's a very fluid game.The game is very well made, aside from cheesy voice acting. Then again, Lara Croft has generally been cocky. The music is typical for the Tomb Raider franchise. It is a brief game, but you can easily log 16 hours on your first playthrough. Then again, there's the added replay value between single and co-op campaign.I am a Tomb Raider fan, and I proudly played all games on PC and completed them, even from the 90's pixelated era. This game's a very welcomed and refreshing twist to the franchise.
