Tomb Raider Legend Demo

Just came out and it's very very nice looking. The camera gets me frustrated at times but I can't wait for the whole game to come out now. Laura has never looked better!

Eidos removed the serie from the hands of Core Design and gave it to the guys who made Soulreaver. I liked what I saw.

There is notably a nice game play idea in the platforming aspect of the game: If your jump is a little too short or it arrives with an odd angle, instead of falling, Lara grabs the edge with only one hand and you have to tap a button for her to stabilize into a proper grab. Makes the gameplay a little more tollerant while spicing it up a little.

Been playing around with the full game a bit the last couple days. The game is definitely a massive improvement over AoD, and I'd probably have played a lot more of it if not for the fact that the right stick on my ps2 controller doesn't move the camera like it's supposed to, which makes the game pretty unplayable. Mouse+keyboard is pretty horrid, so not really an option. If you like Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, etc. style games and can get the camera to work right with your gamepad, the game is definitely worth checking out.

The whole "next generation" thing is pure comedy though. The game barely looks any better, and the improvements are offset by rendering errors such as water in the background drawing on top of plants and stuff which are in the foreground. On top of that, even people with 7900GTX SLI systems are reporting that framerates rarely go above 20 fps.

I've seen a few shots of nextgen mode; it does some nice SM3.0 effects. Thing is, I've not seen any effects that haven't been done in pre SM3.0 games.

Game is enjoyable, if short.

Loved the demo and will definitely get the pc version of the game. Nice atmosphere and graphics. The control and frame rate are a bit iffy but you get used to it. Has the same exploratory feeling as the original did on the ps oh so many years ago...

I dl the demo from fileplanet to give it a try. It ran alot better on my pc then I was expecting. Agree with the controls. Plugged in the 360 controller and it worked fine. While the PS2 controller's camera(2nd stick) wasnt working. I really didnt wanna bother messing around with it to figure out why it wasnt.
