Damn you fate!

Was really looking forward to playing this with my missus, but she went and broke her wrist yesterday. Maybe if I wait till she's all fixed up it will be in the sale.

Great to see a good Tomb Raider game though, I've been a pretty loyal fan ever since the original, but its been pretty much constant let downs ever since, although Underworld was pretty good.

I know that no online co op is a drawback but given the choice between only online co-op or only local play I'd rather take the latter.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I was sold the moment I realized they weren't making a gimped solo game that forced you to babysit an AI.

One question: WHY CAN A T-REX BREATHE FIRE?

I don't recall that from any dinosaur books...

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Wow, didn't think it would be as good as that, though I was always going to get it, but yay.

I'll wait until it comes out on PSN though, then I can dive straight into the online co-op.

 

[Xocrates]

And still over a month to go for the PC version

One question: WHY CAN A T-REX BREATHE FIRE?

It's a T-REX THAT BREATHES FIRE! Do you really need a reason?

One question: WHY CAN A T-REX BREATHE FIRE?

BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME!

That and what make you think it's a T-Rex? It be a wingless dragon. >.>

Well, to be fair, he is a t-rex that's been magically created out of rock. I mean, if you're going through the trouble of magically recreating a t-rex, you may as well through in some embellishments, right?

Hrmm, I don't know, most magical T-Rocks I've seen can only spew acid. I challenge your claim!

I think you're just prejudiced against magical t-rexes. REXIST!

 

[Proteus214]

So they basically turned Tomb Raider into Gauntlet with guns...interesting...

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Lara has always been one of my favourite characters and it's great to see that after the apalling Angel of Darkness, she's back to her old form.

They all look the same to me!

 

[Abedeus]

Wow. Looks pretty good. At first I was like (wtf, did I go back to 2000 and Diablo 2?) but then I was like (hey, awesome gameplay). Can't wait for PC version.

 

[gregitaly]

Local only multiplayer? Sounds fantastic! Now sure, it's great when games have both online and offline multiplayer, but it is such a bad feeling when you realize you can't play a game with your buddies right next to you. Instead you have to hop online with some idiot twelve year old, who then proceeds to call you a homo.

 

[minotaur199]

I love Susan Arendt's voice and her humor! Great review, can't wait till its out for PC!

Being able to smack your buddy for blowing up the jeep right when you're standing next to it (I'm looking at you, Funk)

You shouldn't have been standing next to the jeep I was shooting at!
