If any of you are contemplating getting this game, stop! And go buy, it's the best single player game i've played in a looooong time, the best experience on my 360 so far for sure... way more exciting than oblivion xdd




Did anyone get top spin? Not sure whether to buy from game and try.. heard tomb raider's not so long so guess I will get it when I've finished and returned lara sexeh

Catching H5N1 is higher on my list of priorities than this game. It is very very dull and very very... well Tomb Raider.

Nothing new. Spend your money on something useful. Like a window.

I got TopSpin instead of Tomb Raider and after i saw a comparison of PS2/360 versions it AMAZES me they want to charge us £50 for this game when its exactly the same graphics wise as the PS2 bar a few snazzy light effects and the option to play in HD!

Also the fact that friends on XBL completed it on the first day with little to no effort spells out a don't buy it.

Topspin is great btw great Online no lag etc you actually have to make your own character if you want to play ranked matches. This means you create your own character from scratch in the singleplayer career and build up his skills to take onto XBL. Its bloody hard though.

I'm trying to complete Topspin as fast as i can and will take it back to GAME next week and get Tomb Raider for the easy gamepoints then take that back for BF2 :p

Very dull if you can only play mindless games, I find it quite enjoyable!

I find its a great game, lasts as long as kameo or condemmed and has as much replay value with timed mode and all the hidden artifacts to unlock things.

I don't think you understand.

This is a mindless game. The puzzles are on the same difficulty plane of walking and breathing at the same time.

Maybe I just prefer a little originality in the games I play these days. Something which this game seems to be lacking considerably.

The TR games went downhill after TR2 imo its just the same over and over again , fine you could say the same about racing games but they are fun i dld the demo just to have a bash and found it horrible.

Camera is awful, and the fact that everyone seems to completing that game in about 8 hours gametime max questions why only 7 missions?.

Anyway TopSpin 2 is really hard its sort of easy to begin with but as you get in the big tournys it is a real challenging game, got trounced by Henman :(

Originality is something that is lacking in all games these days im afraid.

Got the demo last night. A bit 'meh' but probably as good as the first one, just not as mindblowing as it was back then. I wont be buying it on 360 thats for sure, may be worthy of a download on Xbox tho :)

Really jaggy in 480p too.

I'm just getting sick of the ports tbh they don't do the console any justice what so ever.

I'm getting BF2:MC on friday i know its a port but its a decent LIVE game i guess, also its the last game that comes out for abit.

I bought it last week and did Deacans tactic and took it back to GAME got FM2006 :)

It was an ok game i guess some of the levels were really annoying but i'm glad it was as short as it was because it did start to get a little boring after a few levels.

Played the Demo, found it ok nothing stood out to me really, she moves a lot better than the last games, but I can see myself getting bored with it very quickly. Back to Oblivion that game is just so good, and if I can make it last till Gears of War and Dynasty Warriors comes out then im laughing.

Do what i did get TR from game complete it and take it back and get a credit note for something else :)

Dynasty Warriors? spare yourself the game has had average reviews at best, i played an imported version at my local import shop if you have played the previous titles then there is nothing new.

from what I've heard it also takes about 4 hours to complete, pretty pathetic for 40 quid. Mabye I'll rent it sometime.

It's on the easiest difficulty. If you try it on hard, it will take around 12 hours :)

even that aint really good enuff for the pricetag unless it came with some uber multiplayer - which it doesnt.

Example, pay £35 for perfect dark and you get 4-5 hours of single player gaming (more if u do different difficulty modes) coupled with an infinate ammount of fun, well designed multiplayer options :)

for me thats worth more money than a single player only game which you complete in less than a day.

I completed Tomb Raider in about 8 hours, went next day and used GAME 10 day return to get FM 2006 for 360 is a blast on LIVE :)

Playing through it atm, and it is short (4 levels = 40% of game?), but it is good fun. Good to see TR back on form again, and thank fuck Eidos took it off Core and gave it to CD.

Plays well, so I'm splitting my time atm between TR:L, Oblivion, and CoH (still)!

no? :(

I cant wait for the next tomb raider game. It looks and sounds very promising.

There's still much more to be revealed, and it will be intriguing to see the new mythological environments Lara will get to explore. But so far, Tomb Raider: Underworld is looking spectacular. Much like Lara's tits.

omigod omigod, this is the best 360 game ever! im so glad nobody is interested in it, so I can have it all for myself :/

seriously though, it's very good. Way more puzzles and jumping around than legend (which I thought was quite decent actually), and less fighting. I do recognize some of the things in the game, but not it all :)

on another note: http://i25.tinypic.com/r6xvs3.jpg - a lovely pair she has. It's from TR: Underworld.
