[Beretta55]

Thought I'd give this topic a shot in the arm instead of making a new one about the game.

I picked TR:A a couple of days ago at Wal-Mart. For people who want it you can get the game for twenty bucks new at Best Buy as a part of a special instead of paying the full thirty. But if they don't have it (which mine didn't) you can bring the local Sunday Best Buy ad to any store like Wal-Mart and price match it for the twenty dollar price like I did, just thought I'd throw that out there.

I've beaten the first level so far (Peru) and its pretty fun. I haven't played the first Tomb Raider since 1998 on my brothers Playstation, so it's been a while. I do like the combat in this game more then in Legends though, it's a lot more aggressive. The combat still plays the same as Legends but it's a lot more frantic and exciting to fight a grizzly bear hopped up on steroids charging at you then some dude with a gun like in Legends. The platforming is just as fun as Legends and there are some serious platforming challenges to get to a collectible now. Getting those is a lot harder in this game then in Legends, I died about ten times trying to get one.

But pretty much if you played and liked Legends then you will most certainly like this one, the combat is more fun due to the enemies being a lot more aggressive and the platforming is incredibly fun. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's been so long since I've played the original I can't remember what's changed and what's not. So the nostalgia factor doesn't apply for me here.
