The Raven Council

This is mainly for rhia, but yeah it is a fun game, and looks nice too

found this pic i took a couple of days ago

click to make it bigger as it looks better then. remember this is a console game originally so its not crysis. but looks real nice moving

Hm i see they have made her a bit more realistical this time. Or natural should i say, as one can do all sortsa things these days

Well, the original TB all presented the virtues of curved vectors..

They got a rhythm gymnast to do all her moves and then made them into pixels, hence realism. The game looks awesome, which you'd expect for Tomb Raider

Been playing this a bit.

It's a lot less fiddly and more fluid than previous Tomb Raider games.

It still has frustrating moments - but that's part of the nature of the game, sometimes it's not clear where you should be going or what you should be doing. The Sonar-Map feature is entirely useless, and the Field Research hint system is either blindingly obvious or just completely unhelpful.

But, the puzzles are well thought out, the scenery is very pretty and the camera does seem to automatically focus primarily on Lara's rounder portions.

Having a lot of fun with it at the moment.


ps, I want her motorbike.

hehe nice, i may take a look at the full game when i get some free game time, too many on the go right now

Very very short.

Very little replay value.

Story won't make any sense if you didn't play the previous game or 2.



Nice while it lasts though.

very very short? COD4 short? or max payne short?

Ah, Max Payne was pure gold and diamonds stuffed together

I haven't played it out yet, but I'd guess it's about max payne short. The puzzles make it seem longer probably.

I'd say there's around 4 hours of playtime in there - depending on how many times you slip off a ledge and have to climb all the way back up again . You can probably squeeze a little more out of it if you bother hunting all the shiny relics which I couldn't be arsed with.
