Sponsored by Mighty ♥♥♥♥, must keep playing.

Closest sense of fun to Burnout 3 that I have found on PC. Awsome sense of humour. Stereoscopic 3d great with Helix mod. Fun, fun, fun.

Rambo Croft is back. Why did Crystal Dynamics turn Lara into a total pshycopath? She is a killing machine more than an adventurer now and I think it is entirely the wrong direction for the character and games.

Tomb Raider Anniversary will remain my favourite because it was a remake of the first and both were mainly about solving puszzles in tombs - a lone character exploring the mysterious unknown, not some Hollywood style action fest.

Still, like the Tomb Raider reboot, this is a fun game to play. The mechanics are great.

The graphics this time around are impressive but not enough of an improvement over the last game to justify such steep system requirements. And the last game had amazing stereoscopic 3d, which this one lacks.

Some of the supernatural elements of the story feel like a copy paste of the last game, which is a bit dissapointing.

I debated whether to vote yes or no on this game and decided on no because of it's price. The campaign just doesn't feel long enough and the ending is stilted and rushed. At half this price, it would be a definate yes - at the current price I suggest that interested players that haven't jumped in yet hold off.

This game fully captures the feeling of the old space shooters I loved like Wing Commander, X-Wing/Tie Fighter and Freespace - recommended for fans of those games.

The production's polish and narrative are not perfect but the core game mechanic is nicely in place. I see potential to tell a better single player story, with better delivered wingman communications on the solid base of this game.

I have not played with the editor yet but suspect I may talk about what can be done with this game in the community once I have finished the 2 campaigns I purchased for a reasonable price. I have spent a bit of time getting it running perfectly in stereoscopic 3D and it looks great, with some shader’s having to be turned down or off.

First off, I wish there was a 'Perhaps' response to 'would you recommend this game?' As recommending this game depends entirely on what $2 US is worth to you as a buyer.

It's a very short, atmospheric, arty game, with a great twist in the tale. Is that twist worth it? I was left longing for more - it fealt like build up that needed a more subversive and twisty ending. I respect the game's twist and don't want to spoil it, just noting that it felt like an incomplete narrative experience to me.

But, the designers obviously have some imagination and talent - I think they may make something really good down the track if they remain independant. For this reason, I think it is worth supporting them and buying this game.
