Summary

Not as great as they claim it to be.

The Good

Well, some puzzles were nice and well thought and I liked some of the settings you visited and the in the first levels it might be fun to play before getting frustrated and feeling bored as an oyster suffering of depression.

Don't remember any more good stuff about it, really.

The Bad

The controls, I hated them, maybe it's just me, but I finished the game without mastering Lara's jumping skills, I found myself thousands of times falling to my death because Lara didn't jump at the time I told her to.

Most of the level design was poor, the levels felt empty and "blocky".

And the last level was just ridiculous, I felt very empty when finishing the game, the story development was so lame...

The Bottom Line

I have never understood why those series are so popular, maybe if I programmed a pacman game with boobies and lots of press coverage it would also be a best-seller...

Anyway, you might like that game if you are really into action and shooting games without a good enough plot.
