    Horrible game for PC - you can barely control the Character - Complete waste of money - eidos and core are destroying the franchise by not caring what garbage they are pumping out - stop worrying about making crappy movies and start worrying about making a lasting franchise by having good games - completely horrible and buggy - DONT BUY .

    Easily the most awkward game in the world. Looks great, however controls are as easy to master as a three wheeled shopping trolley on ice.

    You need a high-end PC and a fast video card w/ latest drivers or you're in trouble. Also the control is a bit awkward at first, but nothing terrible. Overall, it is a typical TR game but looks better. Hard core fans should not miss it. Others, rent it first.

    Not much new from the old games, just tarted up graphics and annoying controls, pick up a key, open a door, collect a bullets, nothing original, just the usual, great graphics.........well thats it.

    Very good graphics, with a completely newly animated Lara Croft. She is just perfect!! Game Play is good, could have been better. and the controls are quite irritating. But overall the game is awesome.

    true.. not ground breaking by any means.. but still its the tomb raider i've been waiting for! the one that is rivalled only by the games first and second outing! Controls are nice aside when you're running up and down stairs.. and you don't fall off ledges easily! [against a point raised by Total Games!] Graphics are pleasing and music are melodic and atmospheric!! Good review for a good game :D Expand

    It's a pretty good game so far controls are kinda iffy but the graphics are great but there is only one problem that makes me give it a 7 is the load time, around 3 min. for each load screen. I got a real good up to date comp. (AGP 64 MB videocard, 128 of RAM) I don't see why it does it but it does :(

    The bugs in this game make it more fun and enjoyable. Some really do save Lara's life. I was kind of (not totally) disappointed that it did not reach up to its full, undiscovered, "new" potential. Different from its predecessors, but still very good. The controls are not as bad as some people say it is.

    Very good graphics,can be buggy at times and a bit weired,on some levels you go through doors and its total darkness like the game hasent been made properly, its ok on 32mb graphics but better on 64mb crappy graphics on a ati radeon mobility when you go thrugh steam and lightining effects its get on your nerves. The game is awesome and good sound good fighting and steath moves very good.

    Out of all the Tomb Raider games, Angel of Darkness is far and away the most beautiful, in fact it is one of the finest looking games I have ever played. If you like Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider style of gaming then you should certainly pick-up Angel of Darkness. I highly recommend it.

    love the game. Yes indeed it is the most advanced and most interesting lara Croft game yet. But I think Tomb Raider 4 is still the best but the new Lara Rocks. I had no troubles with the controls because I am a fan of lara and I have played TR 3,TR 4 TR Chronicles and I now have finished TR TAOD. Everyone should try this one.

  1. Would have made 70% if not for the atrocious control system.
  2. Unlike previous Tomb Raider games that presented you with a handful of secrets items, areas, or unlockable bonus content, there is nothing here beyond the core game (no pun intended). There are no branching paths, multiple endings or any reason to replay the game anytime soon after your first pass.
  3. The controls handle like utter crap and will remain a continuous nuisance throughout the entire game. Seriously, when it comes to character control I've never witnessed such a badly managed a port.
