Not bad...Not bad at all
Well, lets start with the graphics. They were of much higher quality than i expected, but they were no Oblivion. The graphics had some flaws here and there, but i would say over all, they were very crisp and clear.
The sound was amazing, you could hear everything from Lauras boots on the ground, to the water fall. The sound may have been excellent, but one thing still troubles me, the Laura Croft in this game was not voiced by Angelina Jolie! This was a ket down, but i took it with stride.
The gameplay is filled with fast paced action, shooting, and some nice little puzzles to figure out. Although this game may be mainly shooting, the game play while shooting can be a little annoying. There really is no first person mode because when you do this, your character does not move, all you do is press the L button and shoot with R. But, to make this a little better, they added some neat little tricks and flips you can do while in combat. Some new features added to this game were the fact that you could go up to some one and kick them, trip them, duck behind them, or (my personal favorite) Jump of a victims head ro chest and the game goes in slo mo while you let a clip go on them! (You can also wander around the level, and find some nice cliffs. You can hang from them, jump from one cliff to the other, etc.)
What could have used some help would be the driving sequences. They lagged in many parts, and tend to get very boring! For the most part, all you really do is go left to right. You may shoot and aim on the bike, but pressing five different buttons at once poses as a problem to me, i dont know about the rest of you. Now, the ever dreaded camera! Yes, this camera caused me some trouble while i was off having my Tomb Raider experience. The camera moves freely, but never really where you want it to go. Some times, you cant move the camera at an angle where you need it to be, which is very frustrating.
All in all, Tomb Raider Legends is a great game, no wi will admit, it has its minor flaws here and there, but no game is perfect.
