Xbox 360 Fanboy

I liked the demo, lara can do some cool new things. But the camera sucks. I think the demo made me decide to wait on this game instead of buy it day 1.

Lara not Lora. Come on Mr. Burg!

oh yeah, hope this is better than the last few tomb raider games.

This game is going to be awesome. The demo took me over an hour to complete after hunting around for stuff, I can't wait to get this.

Wish this would have come to my attention before today. Fallout 3 has taken my Xbox hostage and it will not be giving it back for a long time. Demos and other content are going to have to wait.

i normally don't find video game characters attractive, but this is the hottest lara i've seen! the camera sucks and jumps around too often, but the acrobatics are fun.

I loved Tomb Raider Legend (wasn't too keen on Anniversay, though) and the Underworld demo seems to have improved every single thing (I didn't find the camera to be a problem, either).

she's much more responsive now.. though the kicking feels a bit basic, needs work, or I'm just missing something.. learned new tricks of Ninja Gaiden and Assassins Creed too...
runs a lot better than the last two games too, all feels low spec, if it needs installing on PS3 it needs shooting!.. I'll pick this up when it comes out (on 360, obviously)

It was a very good demo, gave me plenty to look forward to. Very nice everything, graphics, music and animation. Love Lara's animations and how she interacted with the environment, especially the 'brushing through jungle foliage' animation.

Puzzles weren't always in front of you, but I enjoyed exploring and figuring out where to go next which is what the series is known for.

The sharks were pretty damn frightening when I first dipped into the water (very clear and pretty btw). Small tarantulas were a welcome surprise, had fun shaking them off. Bats were bats. The parrots were rather helpful sitting where you needed to go, but still blended nicely with the jungle.

I did see a strange komodo dragon creature slither and disappear up a wallside leaving a cloud of leaves, but it was too quick to get a full view (I'll be quicker next time for sure. :P)

The tiger fights were kinda tough tho and it got pretty hectic (Used the Uzis instead of the pistols) I still haven't figured out how to execute the 'bullet time- head shot' fatality move, but will work on it.

The camera was a bit off, but it's manageable like most games of this kind.

So far, awesome game. Don't know if I'll get it this fall, but it's on my list now thanks to the demo.

Well, I played the demo and its way better than of the previous versions, but I still dislike the game play just as I disliked the others.

I wanted to like it but thought the camera was horrible and made the game difficult to play.

I was a little disappointed with the graphics, coming from being spoiled by Uncharted. I still can't wait to play this as I have the previous two on the 360.
