I was especially excited about this game because I have played the game it is based on many times and loved it very much. I have not yet finished this game, but from what I have played of it, it is definatly much shorter that the original (Tomb Raider) but I recognize many places and creatures from it. Lara Croft is a very intelligent, physically fit character, and though she is unreal in many senses, she is still a great character to play as. Overall, it is a pretty good remake, but still doesn't have the same atmosphere as the first one, which was about getting lost and exploring a huge, vivid world, where the newest ones are mostly just shooting things and clearing obstacles. Hopefully the next one will be more like those first games that we all love so much.
