Review: Lara Croft is on an expedition to find the mysterious island of Yamatai in a Bermuda Triangle type area of the Pacific Ocean. Her ship is mysteriously wrecked and she washes up on the shores of an island. She soon discovers that there is a cannibalistic cult that lives on the island. Lara must survive, and rescue her team mates.  


Opinion: I really liked the game, the details and the game play were beautiful and seemless. But it was a little tricky for me to play being a beginner game player even on the easiest of difficulty levels. The game is quite gory with lots of blood and body parts, but I don't mind that as much as some other people. I didn't get a chance to finish this game but I got a decent way through it. There is lots of fun mystery and intrigue in the overarching story. 

Ideas: I would recommend this to experienced gamers, especially if they like strong female leads. If they like survival type games, or adventure games, this is a perfect game for them.
