This is now an Old Game. I played it when it came out and quit after a gamebreaking bug. I have now replayed it and completed it.
The games tomb levels and general climbing swinging and jumping puzzles are excellent. The bronze,silver,and gold cross collecting gives an extra challenge if wanted.
But the combat, oooh. It stinks. Terrible. Almost to the point of ruining the game.
The boss fights are crappy. One of the bosses glitched on a ledge. I walked up to him and plugged away until he was dead. Weak sauce.
The quicktime events suck but aren't so arduous as to destroy the game. Standard pre 2010 stuff.
The story is suprisingly good with relevant cinematics. Lara's character is well fleshed out, so to speak.

What is worth my time? Yes, but then I haven't played the current generation Tomb Raiderses. This is a short game as well so not a big committment if you don't like it. Cheap as dirt these days as well.

Some random irritants - occasional game breaking glitches and bugs. Inablility to wear an outfit on a level until it has been beaten once. I don't plan to go back and replay the levels.
8/10. Worth a look at the right price.
