Too short!
TRU is definitely one of the best games in TR series if we speak about Lara’s evolution. She’s more perfect than ever! She’s got new abilities like shooting while hanging on a ledge, shoot two enemies at once or even kick enemies and drop them down. There’s also an adrenaline bar which allows her to perform head shots when it’s full. And a new weapon was added to her inventory: a Tranquilizer Gun so if you don’t like killing the animals as you judge is too non-ecological, now you’ve got this choice. It makes the game more dynamic too. The graphics are good (PC Version is better. Well, if you’ve got an excellent card). The soundtrack is nearly unnoticeable like all TR games. The SFX is a bit annoying specially inside caves. You’ll want to turn it down a bit after 2 levels.
The game itself is not something most fans were expecting for such a powerful console like PS3. The graphics are good. You can enjoy the environment perfectly. But there are some bad points. First: the game is too short. Only 7 levels and it’s not lack of space in Blu-Ray (against 18 levels in TR II and it was PS One!). It gets repetitive as the levels concepts are too similar. It’s not like TR II, III or Legend where you have different worlds with different aspects like the buildings in Japan, the boat adventure in Venice or the small town in Peru. It seems games producers are making games in a hurry.
Second: if you enjoy Lara’s outfits, you will be disappointed by the lack of creativity among them. When you begin a new level, you’ve got a chance to choose a different outfit. There are about 8 of them but all similar to each other.
Third: the Extras section is cliché. Trailers, storyboards, concepts. And you cannot select a specific level like previous titles. After you finish the game, you’ll be prompted to play the Treasure Hunter game (you can play the game again only to collect treasures. All doors and puzzles are solved for you).
As a TR fan, I expected more from a game like TR but you can enjoy it for about 7 hours.

A great game with a few glitches
One of the best games ever made in TR series. The gameplay is excellent. The graphics are good but there's still that lack of reality like when she walks on mud it's just like she's walking on asphalt or when she stands under a waterfall or even walk in shallow water she can't get wet. Only when she swims around. There's a new good thing for the ecological ones. Now you don't have to kill the animals. You've got a Tranquilizer Gun just like in Metal Gear and you can put the puppies to sleep. It's ecologically correct, the game gets more dynamic and you enhance its difficult because they wake up after a few seconds. The sound is complex and it's not too annoying like previous ones. There's also a few extras (I haven't check it out yet). Now for the glitches during gameplay: sometimes when you load a game, you cannot see your treasures/rewards acquired so far. If you exit the game and resume it again, this problem is solved. In 3rd stage, Lara loses her flashlight god knows how and I couldn't find a solution for that. Her flashlight is back in the next stage. I do not know if the PS3 version features those problems. My copy hasn’t arrived yet. This is a review for the PC Vr.
