First Look


Proof of my geek cred. Miss PC Games February 1998 was my first ever centerfold! My preliminary opinion of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered - having played through the first level - is that it looks and plays fantastic. The best part is how faithful this remaster is to the original. The biggest complaint I've read online is the wonkiness of the (optional) modern controls, but the original "tank" control scheme is provided. Why wouldn't you use it? It may be a little clunky by modern sensibilities, but it was good enough back then, and it's part of how this game is played. So no complaints there. I love that you can switch between the original and the improved graphics on the fly, with the press of a button. So cool to compare. Plus there's a new photo mode where you can pause the game and fly the camera around and snap photos. I anticipate I'll be playing around with that a ton.
