Epic!
Tomb Raider tells the very beginning of Lara Croft and how she actually became Lara Croft as we know her from the other TR games. Of course, there are a lot of treasures to hunt, secret places to find and many jump and run situations which are sometimes related to quick time events.
The game has pretty graphics, good sound and a nice soundtrack. The level design is very good, and in various quarters even dynamic. Tombs contain the usual climb parts, some well balanced riddles (neither too difficult, nor too easy) and the atmosphere is just great.
Furthermore, TR offers some RPG elements, such as weapon upgrades which allow you to kill your enemies in a lot of varieties and some character improvements (perks) such as higher health/damage resistance, improved aiming, advanced senses or better looting.
The new character and body design fits Lara very well and facilitates a more realistic experience than in the previous games.
The average length of the game is about 16 hours, if you raid some tombs here and there or collect some of the other goodies out there. After you're done with the game you can still stay on the island and look for missing treasures and items, so the total play time should be around 25 hours.
The MP is ok and offers several game types not just deathmatch. It makes a lot of fun to gather experience to unlock new characters and weapons, or just play with/against friends.
Under the bottom line is TR a real action-packed jewel with nice graphics, compelling atmosphere, good soundtrack, great gameplay and a well done character and story development.
An awesome game you shouldn't miss, even if you disliked one or all of the previous TR titles, as I did.
If you can get it for about 10-20 bucks, then get it - it's worth it.
I give it 9/10 points.
