Ok, love her or loathe her, she'll be making her debut on the PS2 very soon....but when?

Just looked at the following places and all have different dates!

Special Reserve : 01/02/2003

Play : 21/02/2003

Amazon : 14/02/2003

Soooo, anyone got any idea when this is going to be released?

Ah, i love Tomb Raider games. My favourite is probably the first one, or Tomb Raider the Last Revelation. They just seem so unbelievable its fun.

For some reason, I really can't seem to be bothered. In fact, I just don't care.
There must be something wrong with me.

TRII was the first game I ever got on me PSX, so maybe I just need a little refreshment.

pop for hypolk :-)

As you can see there's a wide variation on release dates.

Odin, where'd you get the 28th Jan from?

Control and development of Lara sounds like this could be a major breakthrough in gaming terms...hadn't really read that much about this game before, just knew I would be getting it.

Now I'm really looking forward to it! :D

Come on Mr Snuggly, give us a date for release!

Features:

Improve Lara's abilities and witness her adapt to how you play the game. You are rewarded for puzzle solving and exploration in the form of improvements to Lara's jumping ability, brainpower, upper body strength etc.

For the very first time in a Tomb Raider game, Lara has the ability to talk to characters. The choices you make in conversation will affect Lara's route through the game.

Brand new game engine designed to fully utilise the power of PS2. Lara is now made up of over 5,000 polygons as opposed to just 500 in previous games.

Take more direct and fluid control over Lara with an entirely new control system and experience new levels of gameplay with hand-to-hand combat, stealth attacks, last chance grabs, and more.

Source: Tomb Raider Official Website.

So, in short, I think it's going to be analogue control, i.e. MGS type.

Well I'll check the website out tonight when I get home, can watch it in peace without the phone ringing.

Certainly sounds like they've done a lot of work especially with the game engine and it certainly seems/looks a lot darker, will definitely be getting this......if only we had a release date!

Noticed on Core's website that it says "due for release late 2002" hmmm, that needs updating methinks!

Anyone got any details on the controls of this, has it been talked about in magazines or websites? Will it still be the turn on the spot then move forward control like in the previous games or for once press right she'll move right without having to maneouver (sp?) her into position first ie Metal Gear Solid controls. If it's the former i doubt i'll buy it.
