Maybe it was the hope of a deeper story line. There are 5(?) games 2 movies, a comic book bobble heads, action figures and 10 years of history. TR player should expect more and Eidos should be giving the franchise more. A deeper story, playing just to unlock a new outfit is like my daughter playing with a Bardie doll. In one cut scene Lara says “Yes its worth dying for” but we never know why she feels that way. I admit I want more. Maybe more then the industry is willing to give. Sadly then they will lose a customer and fan. After playing a game like Metal Gear Solid 3, than buying MGS3 subsistence, my expectations are very high for the industry. But talk in the real world is us oldsters want more. Wow, look at some of the on line games. Yes maybe that’s where the real gaming is today. That’s sad cuz there is nothing like sitting down on a cold winter day and running through the jungle with Lara.

Sorry No I'm 50

I think I will officially declare good gaming dead. I had so looked forward to this game (TRA), and it is a miserable failure. You really got to wonder if companies are doing any testing before they put this trash on the market. Sure they suckered me for my 29 dollars. We were promised a deeper game. One would think that would be, story line, character development, better cuts. What did we get? Just more running, jumping, falling, dying and a shooting engine that makes 1st gen games look great. Ten years ago, I was a much younger man, Lara was a babe, well today at 50, I've got to say, I have aged better than Lara. Sorry old gal, TRA will go to the bottom of the pile with Indigo Prophecy (great game bad software) and Pirates - Legend of the Black Buccaneer and the likes. Eidos, when you bring back an old game, you make it better (Metal Gear Solid 3-Subsistence). TRA feel like something a couple of guys did on their coffee breaks. Yes, the graphics are good but its 2007 they should be. Good graphics are not enough to carry a game, I want story line, and I want options. I want to be challenged with a puzzle section that is more then -run, stop, jump, swing, fall, die, and reload. To much ask, you say? Let’s think about this. I have "given" Eidos for over a hundred Dollars on the Tomb Raider franchise alone and after the Dark Angel flop Eidos owes gamers, BIG TIME. Can I get an Amen! Well I guess I could go back to reading books. OGF - Old Gamers Forever ( Old Grump freaks)
