The first review for Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider has been published in the latest issue of GamesMaster, who scored the action adventure at 90 percent and gave it 95 percent in the category for visuals and graphics.

The magazine states that Tomb Raider takes approximately 10-15 hours to complete the main story and approximately 20 hours if players choose to explore the island. The magazine summarised the game by saying:

“Sitting back exhausted we were left with just one question dribbling forth from our gaping jaws. How on earth are they going to top this in the sequel? Because of one thing there can be no doubt. Lara is back.”

                       
 Tomb Raider is due for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 5, 2013.

    Too many games this year to complete before PS4, I'll try a demo if it's made available but it's unlikely I'll have time for this reboot even if its as good as they claim.

    95 for graphics? That seems a little high to me.

    Regardless, great score. I'm curious to see what other critics think.

    I'm sure they'll drop a demo a few months after it comes out, otherwise there are still going to be tons of people not convinced it's worth blowing 60 bucks on this swiftly closing generation. Without a demo there's no chance at all that I'll even bother so they lost a sale before the thing even came out.

    this is not the same Lara that was in previous series, the personality has changed. It would be same like making Mario an assasin.

    @14 That's because it's a reboot.

    And there is no demo. Developers have already stated that.
