Re: Tomb Raider: AoD Disappointment

i didn't get very far into the game when i tried it out yesterday.
Spoiler: show
I got to the part where Lara is searching for Bouchard..and takes up a job to get info.



I only experianced slowdowns at the beginning of the game while on the rooftop. The game has never froze on me.

The controls take some getting use to, but by the end of the first night i was back to top TR form. Having played thru the first 2 games didn't help me, other than with the timing of jumps. The analog controls are better than an TR's 3-5. Tap back once on the left analog stick and she does a comlpete 180. then walk back tap again run and jump. Yes there is an extra tap involved in completeing a long jump. Nothing too taxing.

There's one thing people are forgetting about this game...and it has to do with Lara's level up system..

She starts the game out rusty, having not been on any adventures since eygpt.(TR: the last revelation) As you progress thru the game she gets back to her usual top condition. I thought that was a pretty interesting feature for Core to add to the game. It adds to the overall plot.
