Tomb Raider HD Collection Released

[Groo The Perverted]

Initial impressions after about a half hour of playing.

1 The graphics are nice. I never played this before, so I can't compare it to anything.

2. It seems like Uncharted Lite, but fun nonetheless. And yes, I realize this came out before Uncharted.

3. The cameras on Legend are horrible! Beyond horrible. It's making me nauseaus as I try to move a crate around, and the ****ing camera keeps swinging around, and the character keeps sliding around in all different directions.

Complete #fail where the camera is concerned, at least with Legend. Don't know if it was like that originally, but it's nearly unplayable for me due to this.

Got this on Tues, rather impressed with the conversion. Legend looks like the 360 version, but with a better frame-rate, and Anniversary looks particularly sharp. Worth the money, if anyone was on the fence.

I actually thought the camera in Legend was fine. It's in Underworld that the camera becomes problematic.

My brief opinion of the three games:

Legend - Upon first playing the game, I thought it was the bee's knees. Now I think it's dumbed-down, ridiculously easy and overly repetitive. This was Crystal Dynamic's first Tomb Raider game and it shows. 5/10
Anniversary - Comparisons to the original aside, this is a pretty good game. It's more atmospheric than the previous game and some of the puzzles are brilliant. It's also quite a bit more challenging than Legend. 7/10
Underworld - This seems to be considered a step-down from Anniversary, but I think it's the best of the trilogy and the closest to emulating the sense of scope and wonder from the earlier titles. The Thailand and Mexico levels are fantastic. 9/10

I just picked this up and am trying to work my way thru Anniversary (and gather some trophies while I'm at it).

One of the trophies is "Complete all Super Actions w/out dying."

Can someone tell me what a "Super Action" is? And is there a site that lists all of them somewhere??

Why do I not own this one yet? Off to Gamestop I go!!

Where's 4.? Should have some jiggling. More than JELL-O.
