Do any of the reviews mention how long it takes to finish?
Won't be buying day 1, so will either wait for a price drop or possibly rent it if it's not particularly long.
12-15 hours according to Rev3Games.

I've only read the Kotaku review so far but there was no mention if all these modern game elements they introduced actually worked, or if they're balanced well. All they did was mention these elements are in the game and then spent 75% of the review talking about Lara as a person and her growth or dialogue.
I feel like we're focusing on the wrong things in this industry sometimes.
I'm taking one for the team. We'll see how much of the game I can stomach before giving up.
I hope these journalists spend thier bribe money on something nice.
Hurry the fuck up GiantBomb.

I was thinking the same thing. there must be a lot of money being passed under the table for these reviews.
Eurogamer sounds like a 7, really. Putting me off a lot.
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 love filling up bars
Theyre the best reward

Another path might lead to a Hidden Tomb in need of raiding, although that’s a misnomer: you’re alerted to their proximity by a popup, and their entrances are clearly marked with hieroglyphic scrawls.
There’s too much combat at times
Platforming is fluid, Uncharted-sticky and largely stress free.
It’s got the kill-confirming XP popup of Call Of Duty; the gentle, optional stealth of an Assassin’s Creed; and Batman’s Detective mode. It’s got the linear, cinematic spectacle of Uncharted, with the narrative fleshed out by audiologs borrowed from BioShock. Platforming is Drake by way of Ezio Auditore, and combat borrows from, well, take your pick
Yet despite all this, Tomb Raider retains its own identity, and much of that is down to its British heroine. Whether she’s huddled up against the cold or sending five men to their doom with an explosive arrow, this is still Lara Croft, one of gaming’s most distinctive heroes – and now she has a personality that extends far beyond the bounds of her bra straps. If the purpose of a reboot is to redefine a character and set them up for the future, then this is a job well done.

Going by the GameTrailers review this game is about what I expected it to be. Not interested.
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.
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?
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.
Dorito-gate as well.Oh please. Square have an history of this kind of thing. Kane and Lynch comes to mind.

Please tell me this is a joke. You want to hate the game so much that you are insinuating all the reviewers are paid of. GG.
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

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.
So many people just got served a plate of crow.
And it's Square Enix Europe that keeps getting into trouble.Wasn't Gerstmanngate from before Squenix purchased Eidos?
