Crystal Dynamics is 2nd on my favorite developers list after Ubisoft because of Lok series / Snowblind / & TR legend , anniversary , ...the seguel legend :D ! The game uses the same engine like in legend but with major modifications alltough the game doesen't have the next gen details seting , the engine is capabile to reprezent larger enviroments ,greater character animation & superb sound effects .Crystal Dynamics allways had a thing for great actor to do their work behind the characters that htey created like Kain , Raziel , Lara etc. ... i mean that the voice acting is done so well that sometimes it fools you that in cutscnes your are watching a movie & not only the voices are done right but olso the animations & face expression both in cutscene & in game ! The game features the same grea acrobatic moves similar to TR legend but olso some new like the 1one that you jump on top of pillar wich is nicely made & the wall ride thanks to that magnetic grabling hook that Lara has on her inventory + i know that most of you whould say that the game has many ideeas inspired by PoP but no ... because since the first TR Lara was abble to perform jumps , grabs & swings from ropes & 1one of the most original moves that only TR brought to the players are those slides ! The combat of the game is basicly the same but it is a little more easier to control & it has a new special move ... that you will use especially in boss fights but olso with multiple enemies . Well i haven't talked much about the enviroments but thist is 1one of the most greates aspects of the game because Lara will be traveling from Peru to Grece ,Egypt & then Atlantis ...every level in part is has its own eyecandy & a superbe photographics image of each place on the earth ... probaly the most amazing level desing is in Egypt & Atlantis ...& not only that but this superb locations olso do have many superb puzzles of all-types both acrobatic & mind training with a very logical sense foud in each 1one of them & after you will solve all of them you will start to think how genius is the concept for the puzzles & how deep are the bonds bettween the story of the enviroments depicted on the wall or other things & the puzzle ! The game is superb & its a true way to wish Lara another happy birthday . Olso the game features a very flexible engine that can run on all kind of computers practacly if have a computer a little more powerfull than a PS2 the game should run perfect . DO NOT miss this game because its a true masterpiece great for old fanes but olso for new :D !!! P.S. Crystal Dynamics is a superb developer aspect more great games from them !!!
