I was looking forward to this game since i saw its very first advertisement on the web. As much as i couldn't wait a minute for the games' release, i also began wondering whether the game will be a success or a failure. And, as i had hoped, the game was a huge success.
Lara's skills and knowledge of survival are put to the test when a devastating storm hits the ship on which she is travelling to South East of Japan in order to locate the long forgotten 'Dragon's Triangle'. The fierce storm leaves her stranded and also separated from the rest of her group on a coastal island inhabited by villains attempting to stop Lara from reaching the lost shrine of Queen Himiko.
The graphics are outstanding and the character movements are great. The way Lara's hair moves to the direction of the wind, or the way Lara looks around at her surroundings as you are jogging around the environment. The villains in the game looked and also sounded great, yelling out at her or screaming for Mersey as they burn to death. The sudden cut scenes that force you to act quickly add much intensity. Also the quick action sequences such as sliding down a huge hill in attempt to evade the tumbling debris from a fallen plane, or quickly escaping a burning building. Salvage can be collected throughout the environment which can be used to purchase weapon upgrades at camps spread throughout the island. I Personally had much fun using Lara's long bow, this was easy to use and also blends well with the games environment.
In summary i have rated this game a perfect 10/10 and feel Crystal Dynamics could not have done a better job in creating the next game in such a successful game franchise.
