Haven't had this much fun since playing Hitman and Splinter Cell. I thought Guardian of Light was good, this is great!
The facial animations match up good with the voices, but not the most consistent and believable for today's standards. Still, the voice acting is amazing and the actors/actresses have you engaged into the story. They are very believable. Because of this, you actually don't skip the story cut scenes and are interested in what characters have to say.
The in-game scripted action sequences are more than what it sounds. You are heavily engaged in all of them. If you find yourself falling down cliffs, hanging for your life, expect to do more than just sit and watch. You better pick up your fat gamer fingers and press the necessary buttons to save Lara's life. This game has immense action. I was appalled.
This is a great reboot the series, and the story was well written. I hate reviews with spoilers, so don't expect any in here. This game is fantastic, and I quite honestly liked it a lot more than Hitman Absolution.
