She's fast and she's furious!

I obviously haven't played this game yet but I've loved all the Tomb Raider games and this one looks great! I've seen all the trailers and clips that are available. It's faster with great Max Payne type effects. Now you can fully use her ability to fight by sneaking up on guards and killing them (sort of got to do that in Tomb Raider chronicles). Great new outfit, great weapons and great levels are going to be available. Problem solving is gonna be even harder and the game features new strategies. Lara now has improved flip-jumping abilities as well as having the ability for stronger brainpower. Her fighting capabilty (even without guns) has also been improved! She can now have hand-to hand conflict! And she can grab people and can choke them more often than before. The levels of gameplay have also improved to make them more interesting!

Another new thing (that you would have seen in the "Star Wars episode 1" game) is that Lara can now talk to people and you make the choices. What happens next depends on the choices you make and what you choose to say! Also according to real information the edge graphics are ten times as good as the old ones.

Story? For those of you who've finished Tomb Raider Chronicles you know that Lara is alive! A sinister Alchemist comes to conflict with Lara after a series of bloody murders. The former mentor of Lara "Von Croy" died. Lara was blamed for his dead after a series of events (see Tomb Raider: The last revelation). Lara then gets furious. She's a fugitive. A criminal in the eyes of the police! Lara barely escapes a lot of the police chases that have dogs barking behind her back wherever she looks. It is up to Lara to reveal the truth and stop the Alchemist as well as the secret powerful alliance. If the alliance regains it's power-trouble will occur. It is up to Lara to stop it from unleashing it's power!

Does the game sound good so far? Yes? Well it's even better. Be sure to check out the Tomb Raider trailer for the game that you can find in various places on the Internet!...

wow!

I don't know why everyone hates this game so much. I've been playing Tomb Raider on Playstation since it came out. I decided to get this for the PC because I'm on the computer more than Playstation. Anyway, the graphics are AMAZING. There was one or two glitches in the game with the graphics for me, but nothing too distracting and it didn't take away from gameplay. I always thought the previous games were lacking in the graphics department so I was pleased. Secondly, the controls are different in some ways, but you can fully customize them. This came in handy! Lara moves more realisticly, and I know some people are hating how slow she is. But it isn't THAT slow, you get used to it quickly. Also, the strength power ups are fun to achieve, and adds a new demension to the game. The story line is also interesting, and I like how you can choose what to say. In this game you can also play a different male character, which I didn't enjoy as much, simply because I like being a kick butt girl.

Well, I gave this game FIVE stars for being a fun, not TOO challenging game. Just so you know, I run this on a 2.4 gig Athlon, 512 meg memory with Windows XP, and I have a 64 meg radeon graphics card - it runs perfectly. NO crashes, no freeze-ups.

Best Lara Croft Game

I think this is the best Tomb Raider game ever! It is 100%redesigned new game. The screenshots are amazing. Same about the trailer. Redesigned 3D Lara Model is more sexy then ever. I am gonna purchase this game as soon as it gets to Bulgaria. The only minus is the new character (the boy), he is going to "make" a new game. I hope to find any logic in this version of Tomb Raider then in others. Also I hope to get more true 3D Graphics and Animations, a truelike story and an interesting levels.

LOOX GREAT!

I am a huge fan of lara, ever since I was like 5 years old and every game has amazed me since, but this one, deserves a trophy, a grammy, it's own hall of fame. In this one there is a lot more for you to do. Lara can now talk to get more information and also in this one you don't have to use lara. there is another character, Kurtis Trent, who I think is sooooooo HOT!!! Anyway, he's a really cool guy. Only thing wrong about this one is, Lara looks a lot different, and some of the levels are weird, especially these skeleton things, but it still is a fun exeperience.

Have some patience.

This game requires one thing before all other things. Patience. We all seem to be pre-programmed to believe that a tomb raider game will obviously [stink]. This game only [stinks] if you are not willing to put in a little time to get used to the somewhat-touchy controls. Once you do, you will find an engaging story with clean graphics and very few glitches. I have yet to find a game-stopping glitch anywhere *i've been on this about 8 hours.* The player must learn that the controls are to be handled gently. Whether with a keyboard, mouse, or pad. Slight movements are the best way to go. Once you get the hang of that you'll begin to realize that it is a VERY good thing that the CORE team changed most of the concept of Tomb Raider. At last, this one feels fresh and competeitive with some of the highly acclaimed tactical games currently on the market. Lara, please don't take these people's criticisms to heart. They all still love you. I know I do.

Who cares what other people think, This is the best game!!

The only reason people dont like this game (PC) is because they dont have a good computer, I only had one problem, no big deal. Some one wrote a review that said it was too easy, NO WAY, I have been playing since 1996, and this one was the best because you have to think!! Just because its not perfect dosent mean its a bad game. its the best one in years, I injoy playing it!! if you have a problem with PC get it on playstation. This game has great graphics and the game play is great! So if your planning on buying this game make sure have a good system- (your PC), if not get it on playstation. And if your a big tomb raider fan dont read the reviews with one star, because they dont know what there talkng about!!!

Incredible, Excellent, and First Rate Fun!

This is a winner! The Angel of Darkness has a great plot and story. Plus the new combat moves are really cool. It is a challenging game, but well worth playing. The graphics in this game are egualy impressive, the camera angle can be a little frusterating at times but overall it has the best graphics of the series. Lara has a great new look and with the inhanced graphics, her sexy body is really a big element like in the movies. This is the game to buy if you want a challenge, and top scale fun. (...)

EXCELLENT!

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness is one of my favorites. The plot is very interesting, the graphics are good (but kind of shakey, at least on my computer), and it's pretty cool to be able to play another character (although Lara is always the best). The environment is very dark and grimacing though, and I find that if I play the game to much, I get a little depressed. It's still one of the best, though, and an awesome addition to the Tomb Raider series.

Game A+ On Sound Track
A+ On Graphics
A+ On Story Line

I haven't had any of the problems that other's have reported like Slow-mo Lara, Audio drop out, Lara Falling out of the game World. To sum it up Tomb Raider AOD is a Best-Buy
