Tomb Raider Review Thread!

12-15 hours according to Rev3Games.
Read Telegraph's review. He praises the plot, but also says all those modern elements you hate are done extremely well.
I'm going to rent it for PS3 but I might take the gut punch and buy it on PC for $30.
I just don't think I can play multiplatform console games anymore with how poorly made they usually are on the performance scale.

I was thinking the same thing. there must be a lot of money being passed under the table for these reviews.
GiantBomb? Post a review right on time? Ahahahahahahahahaha.

I dont get it? its doing what other games do and well why is that a downside?. Some people are being very picky at this title as if old tomb raider games didnt have alot of shooting and all the things he lists.
Rad. I was optimistic about this title since its reveal in '11. Glad to see it paid off in the end! Cannot wait to play it in March.
I played Sonic Generation at a friend's house via his PS3. The load times felt so god damn long compared to the PC version. I couldn't keep playing SG on the PS3 after a level. PC has spoiled me and has ruined renting non-PS3 exclusive titles. :-(

Can't wait to try this out for myself. I never doubted it would be a solid game but the scores are a bit higher than I was expecting, hopefully the game really deserves them.

How much do you lift? I filled my bars with 2 x 40s on each end today.
Dear lord, yeah all the reviewers are being bought all of them. Put you tin foil hat back on.

Just read the Edge "review"...
Yep this definitely sounds like TR.This reviewer really gets it.
And if that wasn't enough,here's the last and best gem:
Yes of course,once again it's all about Lara.Fuck gameplay.Fuck platforming.
As long as Lara is in it (and she's still British) then the game still retain its own identity...seriously what a sad joke of a review really.
It's sad to see how EDGE has become the new Famitsu.

You've played it, then?
Oh please. Square have an history of this kind of thing. Kane and Lynch comes to mind.

Lol, how cynical and sarcastic was the Eurogamer review? They spent the whole thing taking the piss but ultimately slapped an 8 out of 10 on it. Good scores all round though, preorder validated.
Where is it for $30? I was looking at GMG and I could get Resident Evil 6 for $30 but Tomb Raider ended up being $36
A tomb raider game?.

Nice, after DmC another great reboot thats getting some very good scores. Now let's see how many haters that were making fun of this game calling it a "trainwreck" and "protecting simulator" will buy the new Tomb Raider...
Yeah, I copped on PC. Games at the end of this generation are getting really shitty ports. That, and it was only 40 bucks.
That reminds me, I have an extra Lara and the Guardian of Light code on Steam if anybody wants it. First person to quote me can have it.
lol @ saying anybody was served crow. This game was always going to review well.
Pay attention to what the reviews are saying, please. The negatives are everything the most of the "haters" were worried about.

This is ridiculous, have either of you actually played the game or have inside information relating to possible corruption with these reviews? Can we save the loaded review argument until the game is actually out?

Previous games (1-3) didn't have a lot of shooting. Like maybe 20%?

Honestly the scores of these reviews are great, but the content does not sound that appealing. I think I'm waiting for a price drop. $30 sounds like a good price point for me for this type of game.

Can't let things like objectivity and logic get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
So you're gonna buy it in 2 weeks then?
Whoa, Tara Long really dissects the optional Tombs.
She states that tombs feel "incredibly over simplified. They rarely, if ever, extend beyond a single room and even with some of the more involved puzzles, the challenge seems to come more from precisely timed platforming than critical problem solving."
I always like her opinions, and this sounds a little bit disheartening. Still excited about the good press.

Dorito-gate as well.
Wasn't Gerstmanngate from before Squenix purchased Eidos?

Glad to see some people saying positive stuff about it after all the awful PR the team has given us these past months. Hope it lives up to how cool it originally looked...I'll rent it through GameFly.
If a game I dislike gets high scores it's because the reviewers are bribed, if it scores bad it's because I was right, so I always win, man I feel so great about myself and I didn't even play the game!
Game seems solid from the reviews, a nice way to start a reboot.
Thanks to that one time coupon code from CAG, got it for $33.xx from Amazon.
Where can you get it for 30?
I have some leftover credit on GMG to push it down in the $30 range if I want to
edit: $27 to be precise. Fuck it I may as well do it, it's not like there's anything else I'm going to buy until June anyway.
Uncharted borrowed alot from the tomb raider games, heck alot of games did. Are you saying the makers should not borrowed what some of the most highly rated games of this gen have been doing. Why is this game under fire for what every single game does. Its a tomb raider game news flash you killed a fuckton of things in every tomb raider game to date.

something smells especailly with that gametrailers review. well, I don't care how well it's being reviewed, it's not a tomb raider game in my book. more like rambo: the daugter of rambo but that's all been said before.

And it's Square Enix Europe that keeps getting into trouble.
Really weird reading these negative reviews juxtaposed with such high review scores.
