Amazing game, worth the wait

I haven't played a Tomb Raider game for a long time, but was looking forward for this one. And Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix fully delivered it. Great action, fantastic gameplay - even with keyboard and mouse on a PC, a very well developed Lara Croft as character, almost everything is right here.

The story, apart from Lara, is weak and quite predictable. Before the half of the game you know who are your allies and who are the bad guys. And the main villan is a very one-dimensional character, unfortunately. By the way, if a 2 hour movie need cliches to survive, how about a 15, 20 hour long video game?

Graphics are fantastic. Lara seems very real, and its Endurance colleagues also looks good. The island is beautiful, and there are a lot of details on environment that makes you smile. Great sound design too. Both graphics and sound work for a cinematic experience.

I tried the multiplayer just once, and did not like the fact of, being a novice, play on the same room with people with maximum level and all characters and weapons unlocked. The game should balance this feature better.

Finally, Tomb Raider is a great game, and now everybody is waiting for a sequel.
