Scraping Lara Croft Off The “Boot” Of Her Gaming Reboot

WC writes: Crystal Dynamics may want us to empathise with their re-imagined titular character but this should not necessitate gratuitously stripping her of the agency and drive that define her as a hero. (PC, PS3, Tomb Raider, Xbox 360)

I like the new direction. Don't think it borders on fetishistic at all. Something has to make her the hard headed adventurer she will become, and it seems like a valid reason to take up the art of ass kickery.

They just did a horrible job trying to explain it at E3, where they basically said as much. Once the author came out and talked about it, the game looked a lot better.

I agree with you there. Once they elaborated it helped a lot.
