360 was supposed to get it on the 28th, two days ago. 28th came along and there was no patch and Eidos hasn't said a word about it. PS3/PC were supposed to ship with coop enabled on the 28th, a few days before the release they announced that it would come later, date not specified.
which could mean tomorrow or a hundred days from now
really, i'm not sure precisely why this online co-op is even so difficult to add. far be it from me to say I completely comprehend the intricacies of implementing this online functionality, but it seems like it shouldn't be this freaking difficult

I really enjoyed the demo (ps3), maybe I'll buy it soon. Fun platforming, nice challenges and puzzles.
Played through the whole game (Xbox 360) Local Co Op and Single Player, had a fantastic time. I know which part Amir0x is talking about in Co op with the Raptors and Lava and Co Op dependency; it was amazing. 
I've been going through levels trying to get high scores in single player. I pretty much restart if I lose my Relic meter, so it can get annoying, but it's a fun challenge. I'm currently 161st on the Leaderboard for Overall score in Single player. If the Online Co op ever gets patched, I'd love to play it with some GAFers.
My GT is Booshka.

There seems to be some sort of trophy bug in the game.bluehat9 said:

You need to be online to upload stats on the 360 version, I assume the PS3 version is the same.

I had the same bug, it stopped after 4 or 5 times though.

Yes.
Especially if you consider multiple formats, them being new to multiplayer development etc..
Oh, and it seems some people looking through the game files have found out about some of the DLC characters. But on the offical TR forum developers requested people to not mention who.
So I'll just say I'm looking forward to playing as them

I had that too and it would load the checkpoint before I could get to the menu. It was pissing me off and then I finally managed to get out of the death loop.derFeef said:
I had been liking the controls, but twice now I've seen something annoying. First in the swamp, and now at the start of the next area, Lara goes into a weird mode where she won't fire or throw spears on mouse click. If I hit tab, it toggles fire-mode, but she won't stop holding the spear like she is going to throw it. If I hit tab a couple of times, she goes into a weird glitched animation, and rolling gets me back to the normal running animation. The upshot is it makes it very annoying to try to navigate levels and kill enemies since you can't just hold down the mouse button to fire. It went away after part of the swamp level but then came back later. Is this a glitch, or just something that happens in certain levels?
Also, one bridge part with pillars was rather annoying since it respawns you right as the cutscene-ish part plays, and then you have to try to figure out when the cutscene ends and you can start moving.
I like the number of weapons in the game though!

Is it possible to complete the
in single-player or am I just missing something?
fire puzzle in the first level in less than 30 sec

I'm talking about the Xbox version which they supposedly were working on to get ready for Sept 28, ever since the game released Aug 18. There was no such definite commitment to get online out for PS3/PC because I assume they were working on getting the Xbox version out first. For all we know Crystal Dynamics may not have worked at all on the PS3/PC online feature, because the Xbox online isn't even done yet. At this rate we'll see the last DLC released by 2012 :lol
Bottom line: the game has been incomplete for six weeks, actually closer to seven weeks than six weeks now. Get your shit together Crystal Dynamics.

I did it without using an item - just used her roll.Stallion Free said:

You don't need to do that. You
roll the boulder to the right most switch. Run with the fire to the left-most pull-switch. It'll (the trap) change direction. Run with the fire back to the boulder, quickly push it to the top switch. Follow the fire to the right most switch and pull it.
You shouldn't need those for this. At least I didn't once you learned to avoid the trap.
Crossing the River without Touching the Water
the river is too wide for the bridge ends and there is no grapple points. Pushing boulders into the river and jumping on them (holy breaking bones hazard, Lara Croft!) doesn't work either.

Just finished it. I had the trohpy bug, so no trophies but I didn't care, the game was too awesome.
Definitely my "secret tip" or "Arkham Asylum" of the year!
And the lenght and replay value of the game are also very very good, especially for 13.

Played through the game with a friend, local co-op on PS3. I had previously played about 4 levels in single player, and was amazed to see that some puzzles (and environment traps) change when in co-op mode, awesome.
I was a blast figuring out some of the puzzles. Nothing on the scale of (say) Trine, but I was stumped as hell when facing (second-to-last level co-op spoiler)
.
It took us about 5 hours total (a bit short, though I think the game is high on replay value), we didn't rush through it (it took us almost one hour to clear one level because we were stuck in a puzzle), and had a lot of fun. It's definitely recommended.
I'm kind of wondering if the online co-op will allow users to wander off different parts of the map. That could potentially introduce issues, I think. I'm not sure the game is properly designed around that (and it could be one of the reasons why the patch is taking so long), mostly because of respawning enemies and loading areas and whatnot.
Anyway, I want to finish my solo run, I suck terribly at trying to do the timed challenges (solving puzzles in X amount of time, playing through an area in Y amount of time), so I'm not sure if I'll try to do those, but I'm definitly playing through this game at least two more times before the online patch comes out.

the one where Lara needs to throw the rope, have Totec stand on the rope and then rotate around the fiery pit so that Totec can stand on a platform and release a ball
