    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.

    Lara Croft is a good looking and well balanced puzzle gaming experience that breathes fresh life into the aging franchise. The negative comments were not meant to dissuade gamers from purchasing the title.

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

    Hermoso juego descargable via PSN, una aventura entretenida llena de puzzles, accion y logros por desbloquear.
    El modo cooperativo es muy div    ertido y es genial la forma en que interactuan los jugadores ayudandose tanto en las batallas como en los puzzles.
    Contiene una banda sonora muy amena y acorde al juego y graficalmente esta muy bien logrado.
    Muy bien por Square Enix, dio en el clavo y ahora acaba de rematar lanzando el origen de Lara Croft en TOMB RAIDER.    … 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

    Great game. Lots of fun. Great puzzles that can be frustrating, but rewarding. Seems like there's tons of collectibles and challenges to make you replay each level over and over. Well worth the 15 bucks.… Expand

    This game takes all the elements of Tomb Raider and shoves them into an exciting top down action game. It is a worthy Tomb Raider game and interesting platformer / puzzle game. This has more gameplay than Drake's Fortune. Every room and level is exciting to explore. Danger is everywhere. This kind of feels like a hybrid of Tomb Raider and something older, like Pitfall. I wished there was more opportunity to get lost in the level literally, but It is well polished. This is on my shopping list.… Expand
