Actually, most of the people I know who play Tomb Raider are girls, ironically.
So anywho this game looks pretty good! No, not because Lara's the most famous video game vixen, but because I've always liked platformers where I do crazy jumps and beat up enemies with insane moves. Besides, I can't remember the last time I played a game with a role of a girl. I played a demo on Angel of Darkness (the last TR game) and it was TERRIBLE because of the crap controls, which was really a shame because it actually might have been good if Lara just moved a bit faster and responded better to my commands. But this time 'round, after viewing the videos, it looks like they took out that old, crap control system entirely, and replaced it with a much more fluid control system.
So... thoughts/comments?

EDIT: Weren't the graphics the best part of AoD?

And I gotta say, this game's a lot of fun! The fighting could be a bit better (it's a bit tricky to pull of Lara's extra-fancy moves at first) but the game isn't all about the combat, though; it's about jumping around, climbing around, and solving a few puzzles, and these parts of the game were all well-done. So if you're into this sort of thing you'll get some good fun out of this demo.
The game itself looks gorgeous too, and Lara herself looks quite like a real woman, albeit a woman with exaggerated features. :)

But in your defense, not everyone likes platformers.

Anyway, AOD wasn't even on the GBA. The only game that appeared for the GBA was this one:

Which actually did pretty well in the reviews.

It's got good reviews! Hopefully it'll be good on the GBA and DS.

Tomb Raider died after the last game on the PS for me, I'm fed up of it now. BUT... I won't judge Legends just yet, I'll download it to see how it really is.

Unless you mean how the 360's got little technical difficulties. XP
