I am curious because I enjoy Tomb Raider games...

PC version. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Haven't been playing TR series since the developers shifted their attention from the gameplay to the size of Lara Croft's boobs. But hey, I found a link to the review from Gamespot. You might want to check it out.

It's very bad.

Painfully bad.

Like most of Tomb Raiders it sucks pretty much. I suggest that you get a demo first and if you like it get the whole game.

Yeah, reviews weren't great. Supposedly, the controls were horrible. Haven't played it myself though, so I suggest following Xens advice.

Man... how frustrating. I enjoy TR games but I won't spend my money on that. Thanks guys :D

The story seem interesting, I wish it was possible to see it without playing the game...

based on gamespot:

In fact, the interesting story is probably the most compelling reason to struggle through the game. The actual gameplay of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness often isn't fun at all, but instead can be frustrating, difficult, and tedious. The controls are the biggest problem. Though the first few sequences of the game are intended to be a sort of tutorial that introduces you to Lara's various moves and abilities, the beginning of the game merely makes its problems painfully apparent. Though she's supposed to be agile, Lara moves like a cement truck. There's a very noticeable lag between when you input the command to move and when Lara actually begins moving in the direction you've indicated. Just turning in place can be difficult--sometimes you'll accidentally turn a full 180 degrees, rather than just the few degrees you needed to line yourself up with the platform you're standing on. Simply put, you'll undoubtedly struggle for hours getting accustomed to the game's control.

- the bold line cracks me up. and that was in the actual review!

That's the kind of game you play with a trainer.
