What a wonderful day!
It has been too long for Lara to glide through the rooms. I guide her as a god, softly my fingers speak to her as the controller takes control of her choices and i guide her to her salvation or her doom. But fear not, I am a god, so if i fail i will reset time and the universe and it starts again, and again until she (I meant I) get it right.
On the 360 the views are beyond spectacular. The makers delivered in ways i cannot conceive. What an amazing world it is she walks in. the objects, the interaction and the puzzles. yes, Lara is back from where she came and it is glorious.
OK, done with the prophetic text. Let's go to the cold facts:
It is graphically marvellous with great sounds. The first level is an introduction with plenty of cut screens so we can get into the game. The interface is quick, to the point and intuitive. I played the game like I did on my old PSX, and the game reacted almost flawlessly. So old gamers, you are in for a treat. The game seems to be more towards TR2 then TR1, but that is ok with me. The storyline is captivating and the views are phenomenal.
I do not want to say too much as to give too much away (and finding out is just too much delight in this game), but the makers did make a wink to the first game. In TR1 there was a 'secret' move you could make, so she would lift herself up in a handstand (a very sexy move). She does that now regularly as a default move 'yay' to the developers.
So many other things to note and things to see. But trust me when I tell you that you should find out yourself. For me buying this game is a little of a dilemma. It is a different game then Oblivion, but in quality matches up to Oblivion. So what will I play tonight? I was up to two AM last night satisfying my need for both games. Man am I lacking sleep now…
