...would you still be playing Tomb Raider?

Let's all be truthful to ourselves. The very reason that this video game series sold was because Lara had a slim figure and was dressed in short shorts. I'll agree, it had some nice gameplay to go along with it too, but the primary reason it sold was because she was quite a looker, so to speak.

Imagine, if Lara Croft was Larry Croft instead. And just in an instant, this game would be even more niche than it is now, and with no sequels forthcoming.

And no doubt, I will be purchasing Tomb Raider Underworld. Short shorts and wet t-shirts FTW!

Eh, her being a looker wasn't enough to make me sit through any of the Tomb Raider games.

I never did like the games to be honest.

Yes part of the appeal was indeed Lara that brought me to Tomb Raider.

However the platforming in recent games feels a lot like Prince of Persia, so replacing Lara with the Prince wouldn't be that diffucult.:P

And I'm excited for Underworld as well. This is a great year for console platformers.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I liked the Tomb Raider games for the actual gameplay, maybe im just different, but I don't find Lara Crofts polygon breasts arousing.

Tomb Raider was awesome way before Lara was hot

Besides Lara Croft was overrated for hotness until the visuals actually got good.

Seriousaly who honestly looked at those PS1 visuals and said "DAMN" or something.

Now as for the real-life advertisment Lara Croft....yeah they were always hot :)

Tomb Raider in general was a good game. and Underworld looks fun

Besides Lara Croft as a character was interesting.

I had a Mod (or plugin whatever) for Tomb Raider II on PC back in the day. You could play as NAKED Lara! I was 8 or so years old back then. Interesting times:):P

That's interesting to hear. I think the movie is one of the best of its kind easily.

Anyways, also if Lara Croft was a man, it would make no difference since I never have played the games and have little interest to.

Have you played the recent games? They're really fun platforming/puzzle hybrid games, I don't play it so I can look at Lara, why would I spend 40$to stare at a fake woman when I could stare at real ones for free...

I'm not playing Tomb Raider anyway. Some female beauty is always a nice bonus, but unless you can play the game one handed I don't really see the point in that being the main point of a game.

People seem to forget that when the first Tomb raider came out it was a really good game and was at the top of its field. The fact that subsequent releases has driven the series into the ground is tragic but the first game was great and Lara was actually a very good character.
