Gets even the hardened cynic into Tomb Raiding.
There's still the multi-layered puzzling and running around to do, but it's a lot of fun and wonderful to look at. The basic controls are easy to get to grips with, and the more advanced stuff doesn't take too long to fall into place.
It doesn't feel contrived, and you aren't running around in circles trying to work out what's going on. The more you explore, the more is revealed, and the more you reveal the further you progress. It becomes very rewarding making the steps in the right direction which involve some impressive acrobatics!
So as someone who has largely ignored the Tomb Raider series over the last decade, and hadn't even read the review until after he'd bought it, get this if you're looking for something different to what you're used to.
It may not be your bag if you're suffering Croft-fatigue, but that's not me.
