I am a strong tomb raider fan, and have played the game since it first came out. I can honestly say this is the best tomb raider game I have played. Legend brought Lara out of her bad time on angel of darkness (can we forget that?) and into a new era. Legend was only the taste of what was yet to come. I bought the game on June 1st in Ireland, and did not stop playing until I killed the final boss. This game is a perfect remake AND re-imagining of the original. My advice: get it now!!! I can hardly wait for the next one... LARA RULES! Make sure you play this one because it is well worth your money. If you are a Lara fan, you will take my advice.
