Going by the video it rocks hard.

The world and exploring looks good but the shooting looks ancient.

Heh. The shareholders had their way, after all.

I thought the shooting looked awesome. Especially this

Yeah that was impressive, just the part where she is casually walking and shooting that bothered me, reaked of old Tomb Raider to me.

Well, Tomb Raider Legends seems like it'll be a step in the right direction from the new trailer. And, yeah, that knockdown-shoot-em-up move is cool looking.

Still can't get over how Ian Livingstone was a member of Eidos for so long and all that I'm aware of that he had any direct involvement in was that craptastic Deathtrap Dungeon game. I was a fan of those Fighting Fantasy 'choose your own adventure'-game books that Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone created so long ago.
