Size is 1.27gb.

Decent enough demo.

Visuals are great, same goes for the controls & environments, but something about the gunplay/combat seemed off...Lara felt a little slow when dodging.

The camera is awful, especially in closed/very tight areas...it's much too close to Lara.

Demo is enjoyable enough, classic Tomb Raider though nothing amazing although graphically it does look nice, animations are improved over a lot of videos doing the rounds as well so they must have been placeholders. I agree the camera can get a bit too close while climbing hindering your view some what apart from that solidly done. If you do not like the franchise it wont change your mind.

I was thinking that. "You say that like it's a problem!"

What are the enemies like in the demo? I remember the last one having mostly human.

I don't mind when camera is just inches away from her ample bosoms, I do mind when the camera is so close to her hair I can see what appear to be lice moving around.

LOL.

Anyway, if the rest of the game is anything like the demo..I might just pick up before Christmas.

Forgot to mention this earlier, I love the fact that she now gets dirty after a while...

I loved it. I'm still lining up Mirror's Edge as my game for that week though. I'll probably buy this and put it away for christmas as it reminds me of christmas' past.

It looked good and played a little better than anniversary too. The puzzles and levels seem to be hailing back to the original too. Overall I'm impressed and it's a definate purchase. I just hope I'll be able to hold off playing it till christmas.

Hmm . . . The first few seconds remind you of anything?

That music track reminds me very much of Pirates of the Caribbean, which is definitely a good things

Has this been brought forward then? I thought Mirror's Edge was the 14th and this on the 21st.

Was thinking Tomb Raider 2.

Fair enough.
Still reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean, which has a far better soundtrack than any of the TR games what with it being Hans Zimmer and all.

There's a demo? Excellent. I had no idea one was due, so it's a very pleasant surprise.
