Anyone else play Tomb Raider?

So E3 discussion aside for a minute did anyone else get the new Tomb Raider square enix put out? I traded my bioshck infinite to a friend for it for a few weeks so we could try each others and i'm currently on my second playthrough on the hardest difficulty and i gotta say i really dug it. Did anyone else play it though? i heard no buzz about this and it seems mostly forgotten. Personally i loved the new take on Lara, the levels were gorgeous and the replacement of the twin handguns with infinite ammo for a scavenged bow and what little arrows i could find was a completely improved TR experience. Now i did think there was far too many human enemies and not enough focus on surviving the island and its hazards, and the game didnt seem to know if it wants to be supernatural or not till the very end but on the whole i really, really dug it and would just love a far more survival based tomb raider-with far more tombs and puzzles of course, for a sequel. Anyone else beat this one?

i want to check it out, for sure. i've just got such a bottleneck of games right now on my shelf that i never have time to play that i almost feel guilty adding yet another one. once this hits 20 bones, i will likely buy it and put it on the shelf alongside the others. looks awesome, though, and i've heard some pretty damn good things about it.

It's worth getting, but i would probably wait for it to be cheaper. Like i said far too much time shooting the same guys not enough survival. But what survival there is makes it. Stalking a deer with a bow and arrow is far more exciting than shooting generic gas masked dudes with a machine gun.

thanks for the recommendation, i will definitely check it out. i saw it on the games on demand for 30 dollars and was very tempted but since state of decay is out now, i figured i'd save myself 10 bucks and wait for the inevitable 20-dollar tag that will be on it by the holidays.

I got a free copy of it with my GFX card, but didn't think I had the time free to play it, so sold it... I know the reviews were +ve for it, so maybe I'll pick up a copy sometime when it's on offer...

I haven't played the new Tomb Raider yet, but I have The Tomb Raider Trilogy which has three sorta old Tomb Raider games on one disc for the PS3. I like Uncharted better but I enjoy these games too. It's because I like the idea of playing as a treasure hunter exploring ancient ruins, shooting badguys and monsters, and collecting treasures and artifacts from around the world.
