Tomb Raider Video Game


I played Tomb Raider which is available for Xbox360, PS3, and The P.C.  This is a reboot on the classic video game Tomb Raider.  It gives you an origin story of Lara Croft being just a traveler with her father looking for historical artifacts and her becoming the infamous tomb raider.  After their boat crashes on a mysterious island they are taken captive by the island inhabitants.  After escaping near death several times you start to realize there's alot more going on the island than you first realize.  She goes through hell trying to save her family and friends, it's a much darker take than the old Tomb Raider games.  A few puzzles throughout the game make it a little challenging and gets you thinking.  Also the game isn't very short it probably took me around 10 to 12 hours to beat.  I didn't play the multiplayer online so I can't really say if that was worth it or not.  I would guess majority of people who are playing this they are playing it for the story and campaign mode.  I really liked that they gave Lara Croft his whole new back-story and a reboot.  The game is alot like the Uncharted games if you've ever played them.  One thing I do love about these games is that they are visually amazing, you can play the game and have others just watch the game.  It's almost like watching a 10 hour movie with randomly dying in parts and then reviving to try try try again.  Tomb Raider is motion captured and voiced by Camilla Luddington who's been on such shows as Greys Anatomy, Californication, and True Blood.  The game is put out by Square Enix.  I highly recommend this game, it's definitely one of the best games I've played in awhile.

I give this game a 5.0 for just being fun and awesome.
