Awful game. Not worth the time. Horrible controls. Impossible tasks. DO NOT BUY.

Where do I begin. As a fan of Tomb Raider I had high-hopes for this game. What I got was just a crap load of nothing. The controls for the game are horrible. Usually, when using the Wii nunchuck the + button pauses. Not the case. The + button uses a medi-pak. A LARGE medi-pak. Simply trying to play the game was an hour long cluster fark.

There are certain achievements you can unlock; however, they are only achieved if you did them under a certain time. The problem with the time limits, is that tasks take LONGER than the allotted time. One in particular is the achievement in Croft Manor. The tasks need to be performed in under 19 minutes, but it takes 5 minutes to run as fast as you can back and forth between two areas of the level which need to be accessed 3, maybe 4 times. That's almost 20 minutes NOT including the other parts of the level that are required to be accessed in order to unlock the achievement.


I found myself only having pistols for the entire game. I never could find any other type of gun other than the one you start out with. Around every corner there was ammo, but no GUN.

Lastly, I'm not a game guru. I sometimes need a strategy guide to tell me what I need to do. However, with this piece of s, you'll find that you need a visual walkthrough because text cannot convey the sheer stupidity of the programming of this game. You can't tell what objects you can and can't interact with. I guess that is the mark of a good game, but it wasn't executed well.


I liked the graphics, it really was a visually appealing. But that is it.
