I can't recommend this to anyone that values their time, the amount of difficulity spikes is unreal, the developers want you to play using a certain style, go out of that boundary and you will pay pretty badly for it.

What is good:
- The Enviroment: Really good job here.
- Lo-Wang himself
- The Weapons: The weapons feel great, nice upgrade system
- The Battles: Areana like fighting, you get to an area and you have sperts or baddes to kill.

What is bad:
- The Enviroment: No its a con as well, the problem is there are times where they stuff you in places with limited space to dodge and then throw bullet spounges at you.
- Lack of real skill choice: Without Speed you cant beat this game, this game is deliberaly built around Lo-Wang choosing the evasion powers up first.
- The Battles: After a while its bullet spounges and small quatered fights.

Game is pretty buggy, espeically around the ice pick grapple mechinic, sometimes Lara stick to walls sometimes she falls to her death, reloading the game will decide if she lives or dies. I can't recommend a game where one the core mechinics is so far broken that its basically a roulette wheel at this point.

The controls are utter trash, half the time the mouse controls just do what they want! You could move the mouse vertically from the down to the top and sometimes the ball barely moves. Left click to skip modifies the english of your next shot half the time, who came up with these default controls? The cloth physics are trash, half the time doing finesse shots the cloth acts like a tar pit, other times its acts like their is no cloth on the table at all. It's a broken mess, some of the challenges don't activate even if you do what they are asking.

Great arcade racer, especially with a racing wheel

I really wanted to like this game. It has all the feel of an Indiana movie, the problem is enemy difficulty gets to be ridiculously hard. If the developers are reading this, which I doubt. If Indiana can knock out a Nazi in first part of the game, why can't he later without taking an absolute beating? It makes no sense in a stealth game to make it so you can't knockout your enemies without taking damage. A man is a man, Nazis aren't all super solders, you clock them one, they aren't gonna shrug it off like it was nothing. After the frustration with the enemy difficulty I can't recommend this game. Making enemies damage sponges isn't how you do difficulty.

Great game for the fans, if you liked the movies, play this, it does the movies good.

Awesome controller

The bounce pads are not consistent like the older rotts were, fix the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bounce pads and the quick save/load feature! The quick load/save feature seems to break on E2L2 and E4L4 the most so avoid using it if you can on those levels. As for the bounce pads..they seem to have clipping issues. Sometimes you can be pretty much on top of them and no bounce, other times you can be just on the edge of the bource pad and it will fling you as far as it possible can. It's very inconsistent.

Pros:
Great music remix
Still Challenging!

Cons:
The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ random jump on the bounce pads!
Quick Loading causes this game to crash!

This is a great remake of an already great game, there is not much not to like with this game.

Story: This games story is excellent, not only one of the best in an RPG but one of the best period. 10/10

Game play: Like it's original this game play is great, therehave been some changes to the game, but nothing that kills the game play/ 10/10

Sound: I be frank there, the default music this ships with this game sucks, get the FF4 SNES music mod, you won't be sorry! (5/10 without the mod and 10/10 with the mod)

I would call this the most definitive version of this game to date.
If you like RPG's but have never played FF4 I would highly recommened this game, its just that good!

Great game, can be short or very long denpending how you play, you can either run through the story and a few hours or spend a few weeks doing all the quests and DLC this game has to offer.

I would recommend this game to anyone really.
