How the hell can you lot play this game?

[j8mie]

I have to admit the last Tomb Raider game I played the was original game back in 1995, and my lasting impression was just how bad the controls and camera were.

So there I was looking for another PS3 title to play and I decide to give Tomb Raider Underworld a go. There is no way this games controls and camera can be as bad as it was back in '95..................OMG!!!!

They've been making Tomb Raider games for 15 years, and it's no better. It's one of those games I wish I could remove from my memory and delete all evidence that it even went near my PS3.

How do you folks put up with the "butt" cam? I just can't see a bloody thing other than Lara's rear end. After the disappointment of Mini Ninja's & The Mega Drive collection I was hoping for something half decent.

And don't forget the glitches.
I got the plat, though... not that hard, just annoyingly frustrating. lol

I know what you mean, I got this pre-owned for cheap and the camera and controls are just eurgh.

That said, I've played worse.

[j8mie]

Yes I have to admit I've played much worse, but when they've been making these games for so long you'd think they'd get it right by now. So far I've been lucky and only had one glitched trophy, which was the 2nd swan dive.

[Falcon1991]

Yeah, true.

Thankfully I haven't had any glitched trophies...yet.

Yeah, it's the worst PS3 game I've played. Plat'ing it felt like trophy whoring, but quitting felt like giving up. Thankfully I only paid like $10 for it.

I have to admit I feel a bit the same. Now that I've started I have to finish, but because there is little or no pleasure to be found whilst playing the game, it does simply feel like whoring.

I thought going trophy hunting might exposure me to a new range of games that I wouldn't normally try. And if I'm honest it has done............just a shame most of them have been rubbish.

If you want to try something worse, give Alone in the Dark a try............that was like pulling teeth and makes Tomb Raider look like a masterpiece. There was nothing good about that game. At least Tomb Raider looks good.

TBH devil_spawn666 I'm not really a fan of computer generated girlies, and the comical large boobs do make me laugh. If I want to look at that kind of thing I'm told there is plenty of real women on the internet

This made me laugh a lot

In response to how I played it - I thought it was an alright game, but I'm not too picky. The trophies were pretty easy, so I couldn't give up on them.

I did encounter a few glitches and at times it could be frustrating, but it wasn't enough to stop me playing and now I have the platinum.
