Nice and refreshing, but not that great...

Finally a return from Lara Croft that actually looks good, well sortta. The surrounds scenary of the game really stands out. The one problem with this game that really puts a rut in it is the frame-rate and the horrible graphics of Lara. When standing by water she has a glow arround her. And when in a cave in Nepal, the snow level, she glows blue.

The gameplay is okay and the boss fights are pretty interesting. I beat the game in 18 hours and found it had no replay value, unless you want to unlock all the extras by finding all the hidden objects. The Sound is done really well, no complaints there. Laras accent sounds just right for a british woman. Of course there is a "Croft Manor" that you can explore. Although I likethe house, I was dissapointed when theres no basement or outside area. Also the butler doesnt follow you around so you cant lack him in the freezer... oh wait there is no freezer in this one, not even a kitchen. Overall this was a nice and refreshing addition to the Tomb Raider series.
