A great game but it does have its minuses.
This game is great. First of all, Lara looks realistic and moves smother, all the characters are great, Lara now moves like a gymnast and is more stylish.
The game features 'rewards' where players can collect and find bronze, silver or gold awards to unlock bonus content and get pistol upgrades. The higher the award (gold is the highest) the better content is unlocked.
The only problem I had with this game was the length and how easy it was. I passed it in three hours and was very dissapointed at the ending. The boss battles were way to easy for a hardcore Tomb Raider fan (like me). and the levels weren't open enough, so players can't really explore an environment, only if there is a bronze, silver or gold rewards lying around.
I would definitely reccommend this game to gamers who are new to the Tomb Raider series and love a fun game, as it is a great introduction to the newcomers for the series.
The game is a great play and I must admit I have passed it eight times already, so I'll give a 8.5 for the smooth game play, good graphics and a great storyline.
