    This PlayStation Network game is the comeback of Lara Croft. The gameplay is great, the graphics are fantastic and the sound is pretty cool. You can play the whole game in co-op (offline) and in the future online. Must have!

    Though the game would still be fantastic with its co-op dungeon puzzles alone, Guardian of Light contains a surprising amount of substance; each of its many levels offer a series of achievements that add interesting weapons and items to your inventory.

    Despite her considerable charms, this Lara is best experienced alone. [Nov 2010, p.84]

    This game gives a whole new look to Lara. Although the camera does need some getting used to this game still has great combat and exploration present in the best games of the series. The levels are incredibly detailed and makes exploration a pleasure in itself with plenty of rewards to the thorough players. These rewards are very varied some are immediate like guns and others help in the various objectives that the game has to offer. Lara's method is more combat oriented and there is plenty of opportunity to use your guns and its great that the controls are very easy and makes shooting a breeze. its incredible that all the weapons are effective, some are better than others and you're sure to have a favorite. The puzzles are also great and some provide a lot of opportunity to use your noggin. There is plenty of fun in single player, but the game stands out when you have a friend...it gives you a whole new way to play the game and its great. A set back of the game is the plot, its not great and is easily forgettable when you get in the action.… Expand

    This is, quite simply, a stunning game. The storyline itself may not be entirely captivating, but the gameplay and the sheer amount to do, for a downloadable game, definitely gives you bang for your buck! Although I am yet to try co-op (which is supposed to be the best thing about the game), the single player boasts a variety of level designs, weapons, enemies, and, most importantly, achievements. These features will want you coming back for more time and again, and if you finish the game completely, there's always the option to purchase DLC in the form of extra challenge rooms, which extends the pleasurable experience of this game. With about 7 hours gameplay I would definitely recommend buying this if you are looking to get a PSN game.… Expand
