After FLYING through the download (I'm not sure what changed, but I got all 640Mb in 25 minutes, no joke), I was enraptured by the resurrection of our beloved TR1/2 Lara. This game is all I had hoped it would be (so far; 1 level won't tell what the story is like) and truly makes up for the 6-7 year gap of quality since TR3.
My ONLY gripe is that it's a port. I really want to see CrystalD step up to the plate and slam a nextgen only TR:L2 out of the park. However, I'm taking and running with what they've delivered. It's better than Core's last 3 or 4 offerings COMBINED.
I think I wasted 15 minutes just trying to do her dive. I got the vertical flip down pat (just hold A for a few seconds while hanging and she'll do it). I can't wait to find a cliff to dive off of into some water (water optional
).
Thank you CrystalD. Thank you. Now about that Legacy of Kain series...
