Got this at Christmas and am loving it :D I love free roaming games with loads of side / mini missions and this game ticks the box. Think of a first person GTA game set on a tropical island and you're pretty much there. The other day, I decided to overrun a small encampment being controlled by the 'baddies'. I sneak up to it (with the intention of sneakily picking off the first stragglers). When I get there, I hear loads of screaming coming from inside the camp, I poke my head round the corner only to see that a grizzly bear had gotten into the camp and was happily working its way through all of the bad guys - brilliant! I let it do all the hard work, sneak up on it and give it a couple o blasts of my shot gun - job done! What a great game :P

Yep, just started playing it on X360 Enjoying it so far, not got much gaming time but it's very absorbing when I do get time.

I did have it but I've sold it the other day as I completed it. It's a good game and also got a nice story to it.

it was ok, i hate games which hold your hand all the time and dont actually allow you to figure things out. if your not following a yellow dot, its a question mark or blip.. ive been playing the original tomb raider recently (steam sale - got every TR for 9.95) and that doesn't give you anything of a clue, even tho ive completed it about 6 times i still have to work stuff out. if you like free roaming games i suggest you try Wasteland for Arma2.

Haven't got it yet but it's on my list, looks my type of game from reviews etc. I liked Crysis and Far Cry 2 so I'm hoping it's sort of in between.

Yep playing at the mo. Loving it to be honest. Kind of sad that they moved slightly away from some of the things they did in Far Cry 2, but think it's an improvement overall.

Damn, I really wanted that Tomb Raider collection, but was away when it went on sale and couldn't get enough reception on my phone to let me buy it.
