It's a very, very good game. But if you've never played Tomb Raider before you may find it tough to get into.
I am a fan of these games yet even I nearly gave up with it earlier on in the game. Glad I didn't.
I have no idea how far into it I am, but it is a really good game.
I have played the one where you are in Paris, can't remeber the name of it, but it was pish. I've heard it's a solid game and the campaign is a fair length.
