Xbox 360 Tomb Raider (2013): How good is this game!

[Haze]

Seriously, I never brag about how good a game is, but this title has been fantastic so far. I've only played around 3 hours but I'm having a blast!

Yet to try the multiplayer but still, this game is amazing.

How is everybody else finding this game?

I have been wanting to read reviews about it, but nobody has been posting any. I guess they are all still playing the game!! I am wanting to try the game out...I may try to find it at a redbox or something.

I have only tried it for a bit, but yeah. It seemed pretty good so far and I've heard a lot of praise for it. I guess that, in the end, it was a good idea to reboot the series like this, since it has even attracted the people that dislike the old Tomb Raider games (like me). The new Lara Croft design is great, too. Not as crazily busty and her face isn't as WEIRD. I've always thought Lara's face was odd for some reason.

I don't have the game (yet) but I watched the trailer and I really like where they've gone with it - making Lara seem a bit more vulnerable is quite a change. And as you say, she does look more normal as well which has to be a good thing...I don't play games for the 'bounciness' of the character, I play for the story and the challenge!

I beat it, took me a few weeks because of all the things you can do. But I did it. I love the TR.

I haven't played this game yet and am interested in what people think about it. I have to admit I am a fan of the older games and have played most of them.
I do like the look of the new Lara Croft though and the play-through they did at E3 really appealed to me. After it's release though I've heard mixed views
about it. Would people recommend it? Maybe I should wait until it is a bit cheaper and try it for myself.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I saw a tweet by someone a month ago saying it was a GOTY contender. I didn't have any urge to play it prior before this, but that tweet had me intrigued.

Bought it Friday, completely blown away by it (I had previously played TR: Underworld to get me back into the game - but it's completely different, I find some aspects of it to be more like AC than the TR series that we are familiar with).

I love it. I described it the same way, it's just a blast to play. I think I got caught up in the world of MMOs/RPGs so long that I got used to the need to grind and level up, etc. Jumping into this game where you just run around and shoot guys in the head with arrows, and just generally have nothing but fun was amazingly refreshing for me. It was easy to pick up and get into also, sometimes games get too complex off the bat and don't rope me in.
