Introduction:

Lara Croft is back again in her new adventures -- Tomb Raider: Legend. According to the literature, it says that there is "New control system provides intuitive and fluid movement.....New equipment, weapons, and vehicles......Cinematic new storyline, new characters, and insight into Lara's past."

Ok. That's nice marketing, but how does it translate into the game? Is this just eye-candy for the hormonally excitable, or is there actual substance to challenge the brain? Let's take a look under the hood.
