It's all about timing! • Enemies can be dispatched with accuracy if you place your shots well. If you keep firing, Lara will struggle to be accurate. If you pause between shots, Lara will have time to get a good shot in, you will see this by the target getting smaller and tighter as her aim improves.• Health is important! Always pick up any health you find.• If you want to see round corners, use the '0' key to activate the secondary cameras. You can then use the D pad to look around the room. Some rooms have more than one extra camera, use the 0 button to cycle through them.• Levels can be big, it's sometimes best to look around the level first to find out what you have to do before you dive right in• You can access all your previous conversations and the current mission objectives from the PDA which you can get to from the pause menu.• Lara carries many useful items with her, these can be found and used in the inventory which is accessed through the pause menu.

Having been a big fan of tomb raider in all its versions (er actually maybe not the film...) I was keen to see how this version shaped up and I wasn't disappointed. Suitabley difficult and maddening in places (especially climbing seemingly endless walls), it is great fun. There are a couple of sub games which broke up the normality of running, jumping and twirling around bars like an olympian. The bosses were also fairly difficult in places which added to the fun. The puzzles were enjoyable and re-playable on their own seperately when you've completed them which adds great value for money. Really good, well designed and rendered game and can't wait for more 3d from electronic arts and couldn't recommend it highly enough,.

Good for the money - graphics above average but a bit repetitive. :-) I could do with smaller fingers when trying some of the moves that require quick responses between key choices on the keypad (climbing some walls and avoiding rock falls etc) of my n95 8gb - that's not so much the fault of the game, just my fingers!
Nice game - much better than the tr anniversary offering! Worth a few quid!
