That's really cool, Vampyr! Did you get to play the demo too? If you did, is it like "better", with the full programing and all? And how is it, in general? Oh my god, I can't wait to get mine! The overall gameplay is great! although in the third level there is a HUGE bug. you like fall through the ground. But, the burning mansion game was fun. You play it as the first level, and then it says like two weeks earlier, and it leads to Lara in the ocean, then to thailand, then to her manor, where zip and einston cant find alister, and.... are you f***** kidding on me thanks you ruined the game for me If you ever post spoilers again, it has to look like this **** SPOILER WARNING**** blablablabla got it ?

Yeah that was kind of rude to the people who haven't had a chance to play the game.

Has anybody played the game yet? I finished it few days ago but haven't had a chance to post a decent review. Don't worry - will not spoiler the story. Personally I have very mixed feelings about this one, because on one hand it has great atmosphere, graphics and a much more improved gameplay from TRA and TRL. Also seems Crystal listed to the fans and got rid of the Interactive Cut-scenes, Boss fights, add blood and allowed us to have our on setting of how hard the game should be (i.e Player Tailoring). But with that said the game did disappoint me a bit for few reasons: No replay option - simply a boring Treasure Hunt mode which allows us to revisit location to find treasures and relics but all puzzles are solves, enemies killed and there are no more cutscenes. So basically boring browsing through environment. Also, the puzzles difficulty was quiet disappointing as well - all the puzzles are use simple common sense so not much of thinking is need to solve them...which is a shame because TR is about solving sophisticated ancient puzzles and at the very least few have to be so hard people would need to consult each other. Also, the length of the game is unbelievably short - took me 10 hours to complete and find most relics and treasures. And since beyond that all I can do is search for secrets theres not much gameplay time. So while it does has 8 gorgeous locations its a shame levels are not complexed and long as the should have been. And last tiny nitpick would be lack of extras - no new outfits (other than 1 new for the first level) and no Cinematics (i.e. watching cutscenes without replaying the game). But regardless, this is still and enjoyable game especially for the story which really closes issues they continued from Legend and Anniversary. Also, a word of advice - if you haven't played TRL or TRA lately be sure to the "Previously on Tomb Raider" video in the Trailers section.

But I think the game is gonna be good, anyway. Can you save in different slots? Because if you can, I'm gonna save at the beginning of each level! ;D

Slightly improved but overall play very much like TRL and TRA. And congrats on the new flatscreen! ;D wow lior, u finished it fast lol i havent got it yet, only just started replaying Anniversary, so ill get the new one when i get the money and after i finish Anniversary Wayne LOL! I started TRA as well, while waiting for my Preorder but then my brother got it for me in a local store (had no idea they release it here so soon...usually those take up to 6 months) so ended up playing TRU instead. ;D Oh my, Lior! This SUCKS! I always come back to play a level I want, or something... This sucks, I'm very disappointed by that. But I think the game is gonna be good, anyway. Can you save in different slots? Because if you can, I'm gonna save at the beginning of each level! ;D Yeah, you can save at beginning of each level so it won't be a problem. You can also start a new game without re-setting the treasures and relics you've found. Not very convenient but not much we could do now anyway. Oh and outfits wise - there are only 2-3 outfits that you can choose for each level (even while playing the game from the beginning) but no other unlockable outfits.

So I have only played the DS version. Don't get the PS3 one until christmas But all I gotta say is... WOW! I love the game play, the levels and just the overall design. I won't go into too much praise until I play the PS3 version... But I do have a question. Why does Natla look human now? In TRA she was all freaky looking and now she all of sudden looks just like Amanda but with wings... It kinda annoys me...
