should arrive today finally when would we have a sticky like all great games for this superb game ?

Shame am recieving TRL and Oblivion today so dont know which one to start.

You should start Tomb Raider first. Becuase if you start Oblivion, you will not stop and play another game for a long time.

Never is my guess. It doesn't have any lasting appeal. For that matter, I question why Condemned has its own subforum. Even though I dislike PDZ, I imagine it would harvest more discussion than Condemned.

condemned has one because someone requested it http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?s=&...dpost&p=3321671

I agree that TRL wont have enough discussion to warrant it's own thread, probably about as much as Condemned.

I wouldn't mind having a separate forum for every major game to come out. That is to say games like Rumble Roses and Blazing angels wont get anything, but major releases with a lot of pre-release hype like TRL and condemned would.

though there isn't much activity in the condemned thread it does span 6 pages, I imagine we have about as much for TRL right now in pre-release info.

Where is the King Kong separate forum?

ZUMA DELUXE FORUM!!!!

I spent 1:27 on the first map according to the game clock, and I still missed 14 of 16 secrets so Ill need to try and get them all my 2nd time thru. Awesome game, it really comes alive where the demo ended.

this game reminds me way to much of prince of persai...just with a bitch.

damn you... none of the stores around me have it in yet


Actually POP reminds me of the old Tomb Raider games, did you ever play those?

i was able to find 5 bronze and 1 silver the first time through, i swore i seen another silver at the part thats kinda like dragons lair in the bottom of one of those pits but after you jump over those blades and the wall closes up behind you it seems theres no way to go back, i thought i got all of them lol, theres 10 bronze 5 silver and 1 gold in the first level, WOW, at least were not looking for black birds in the dark

I quite enjoyed searching for dead birds, I kid you not after I finished that game the very next day I was walking into work and saw a dead crow and the first thing that cross my mind was "I should collect that" immedialy followed by "damn I need to get out more"

@ twisted

finding all the birds in condemed was a pain but it felt good afterwards.

And Yes, there is a reward in that pit where you have to Press A and B, and I have no idea how to retrieve it. You cant move in any direction or do anything else, other then pressing the buttons.

Ive spent a couple hours in the Croft manor and that alone has been pretty cool to explore.

twisted you kill me ........although i have done that too ......

Me & a bud just played for a couple hours and
we ended up at about 12% completed.

We just passed the point where a 'younger' Laura was in a mine shaft.

Love the game so far. I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
Graphics, sound are great! I'm still a little thrown off by camera angels
some times, but have managed to work my way through anyhow.

Looks like there are a few unlockables throughout the game that
will give you a little more gameplay after the main story is finished...

Good Job Crystal Dynamics.

Ive got about 2 solid hours in her mansion and so far that alone has impressed me to the point of being glad I bought it. As far as the actual game, Im at the first motorcycle part. I saved and quit right as she started riding so I havent tried it yet.

The sounds/music in this game compliment everything perfectly. The camera is can be greatly manipulated so Im grateful for that. Im even beginning to enjoy the shoot outs with baddies.

Nothing can recapture the feeling you got when you played the first tomb raider 10 years ago, but if you put that sentimental feeling aside, as far as gameplay/puzzles/combat, controls, sound/music, level design, and obviously graphics are concerned, I'd have to say this is the best one out of them all

lets hope we see another one(in a couple years so its not rushed) that takes advantage of the 360. But for a port, this is very polished and looks great in 720p.

I think Ive come across my first bug. I followed the templates directions and used the 4 books in order in the Croft Library to open a hidden door. I found a reward, but Im pretty sure Im supposed to get a Text Box like the others gave me giving me hints on what to do next, but I get nothing. The problem is I think thats the one single hint left that allows me to access other locked doors, like the 1 in her bedroom

If anyone uses the 4 books and opens the bookcase and gets a text box, please let me know what it says, thanks. I guess I'll go back to playing the actual game now

bah, 2 late 2 edit. Others have had the same problem, I found out what I was supposed to be shown, so yes its a bug that hindered me from moving on.

I need 1 more silver and 1 more bronze in the Manor, finding the Gold reward was pretty cool

started it yestereday it looks awesome .. saw as well they added those interactive cinematiks like dragons Lair where you need to press a button in time during the movie.

Am stuck in the caves where have 2 rolling rocks and you have 3 spaces to put them in. Its the one which when you put the rock on one of the spaces it opens on the left or right that huge pedestal with ladders and light towards the centre pedestal which needs to move up with a third something. Cant climb to the pedestal which opens to the left. Any suggestions ?

I think youre further along. is that past the whole "travel back in time" part?

If so, I just passed that and havent come to the part youre asking about. By the way, that whole segment kicked ass. I liked the filter they used, and that monster was a nice twist while giving us a good peak into laras checkered past.

quick question ... I avoided the previous posts and reviews because I don't want to spoil the game, but I do need to know something to help me buy it...

Are there mythological beasts in the game like the previous one's?

Or something like it?

Thanks

at the moment tigers and a strange huge monster that doesnt bite

You need to put the first rock on the space to the right, climb up the pedestal and push down the rock from up there. Climb back down and go towards the pit you had to cross earlier - if you appraoch the pit from the area with the rocks, pedestal, etc, you will see a pillar on your right which can be pulled down with your grappling hook to reveal a third rock and bingo! The pedestal on the left is only needed when you come back from the room which is revealed when you put the three rocks in place. That bit had me puzzled for quite a while

Just completed the game for the first time and despite not having played much Tomb Raider before, I loved it. Don't want to reveal anything, but the ending is also left wide open for a sequel to be made

Now gotta go back and try to get all the objects.....

@corkinator: there are mythical creatures i.e. ones that don't really exist. One appears as the main enemy and there are others as the game progresses.

Thanks, I appreciate that

Sounds cool! The demo was ok, but I want it now!

Thanks Jbp20717

problem Oblivion arrived today and dont know if I need to continue and finish tombraider before I even open the box of oblivion since many said it will keep me there

Imo may as well finish Tomb Raider - its a pretty short game, after all.

whatever that beastie was that chased me and the others in the caves was plenty creepy. Its not a "t-rex in lost valley" from TR 1 feeling, but nothing ever will be
